Is the mango the perfect fruit? The most pleasurable of them all? Texture, taste, aroma – a good mango nails them all. I scoffed a whole one of these beauties this afternoon and enjoyed every morsel, from the first slippery cube I popped into my mouth while preparing down to the last finger-licking slurp.

This photo is one from last year’s food and drinks album, Bon Appétit! I love the sense of natural abundance in this mound of mangos. The photo is by Ed Riley and if you would like to salivate over these magnificent mangos on a daily basis, for a few hundred dollars you can buy it 60×60 mounted and ready to hang.
