Our family knows that we really ought to be getting used to more kinds of Ethiopian foods, but quite honestly, we are procrastinators and we still haven't really tried anything.
Mom has bought mangos two or three times, but noone ever tries it! The mango usually gets rotten and then we throw it out.
Some months ago, Mom bought some frozen mangos in a bag. She then would eat them for lunch once in a while. But I don't think frozen mangos have the same taste as fresh. And I don't believe even fresh mangos in the U.S., taste the same as the ones Belly Boy eats in Ethiopia.
When my friend, Rachel, came back from Uganda she talked about how amazing the bananas were especially compared to the U.S.A.'s. Which now makes me wonder if when Belly Boy comes home, if he will refuse to eat our mangos because they don't taste like the amazing ones back in Ethiopia.
Fortunately we've found in Belly Boy's social report, that he likes about the same food as Sports Dude and hates some of the same food Sports Dude hates. So hopefully, as long as our food tastes kinda the same as Belly Boy's used to, we can still have some of the same kind of food we have quite often.

Mango's are easy and fun to eat! Ripen them like avacado. They should be soft but not too soft. Leave the skin on. Slice in thirds top to bottom (the big giant seed is in the middle). Now lay the 2 edible parts on the counter and score squares in them but not all the way through the skin. Now pick them one up and "turn it inside out" (basically make it curve the other way so the skin is on the underside and the squares pop up). you can either slice the squares off or eat it right out of your hand. Mango's are to die for! Unlike any other flavor. Incredibally addicting too. If you want some easy Ethiopian food dishes let me know and I'll email you some.
Sorry- should have used this log in so you can contact me
