"On the plaza corner, a pushcart vendor squeezed fresh orange juice and sliced mango and papaya for the morning's customers. We turned right. Our route took us by the town clinic, past a mechanic where the rhythm of local cowboy music blared into the street from tinny speakers. We swooped down another hill past the village school, and from there, the houses thinned out. On one side of road, buildings gave way to a wall of jungle.

"Their diet consisted largely of corn, beans, pork, garden vegetables, and an abundance of fruit (papaya, mango, chico zapote, oranges), much of it grown in and around their yards.

To eat a fresh mango, make a long, deep slice with a sharp knife along the length of the fruit until you hit the pit, and cut a wedge. Peel the skin back and discard it. Enjoy! Mi so.
