IMO, Philippine avocados and mangoes taste a lot better than those from Latin America.

Kaya nga Americans make Guacamoles out of their avocados,- they add all sorts of ingredients to compensate for its blandness in taste... Avocados natin,- lagyan mo lang ng asukal o condensed milk,- talo na!

Mangoes,- ours still is the sweetest I've tasted... Although, I don't buy mangoes that often when I'm there...

Parang oysters and mussels din nila,- bland,- pero dito sa Pilipinas, because of the water (pollution) in Manila Bay,- mas malinamnam ang ating oysters and mussels...

Totoo. Iyong mga dayuhan pagmatikim ng mangoes natin nasisiraan ng ulo sa sarap. Sa mango shake pa lang nga natin na aadik na sila.

perhaps... they think theirs is good.. because they haven't tasted ours, yet.
when i first got a taste of theirs, i read the label, several times. i couldn't believe they were passing this off as mango.
my opinion.

Re avocados: they originally came from Mexico, as did the sayote, came here via the Galleon Trade.

afaik, mangoes came from Asia. Must've hitched a boat ride over to Mexico via the same route.

It's a shame we don't have local production of Japalenos; tamang tama lang ang anghang, and it doesn't stick to your tongue

Not a fan of avocado though

"turbid" nga daw ang tubig sa source nila.
nung kalakasan ng rain days last week, our water pressure was as good and high as last year's.
two weeks before, water came at midnight, and left us at sun-up.
"haayyy...! back to deep well..."
