@Janis heh, it’s all good. I have a pretty good idea of what kinds of dishes win things like Foodie Fights, and I knew from the second I signed up I wasn’t going to be making one of them. No joke, it’s realy just way too hot here right now, I had been planning to make popsicles, and the battle was a nice little push to get my ass in gear. :)

I bought the Mangosteens at an Asian market in Burlington called “H Mart”. I think you got robbed on Foodie Fights. It seems that the most obvious and not the most creative gets picked.

Welcome back to the interwebs Crabby. That fruit looks like grossness, but I’m sure it’s tasty… just like kimchi shoe.

I live in New England and just bought Mangosteens this weekend. They were $7.00/lb and I only bought 4 of them to try. They are amazing. I had to figure out how to eat them but it was well worth it.

I love your recipe even the simplicity and the lack of pretentiousness.

@Elle you CAN get freeze dried mangosteen at TJs. And I hear they’re addictive little snacks, just like everything else there.

@mis7up Thanks.

@Dad Thanks. And welcome to the Internet. :P

WOW, I’ve seen these before, I couldn’t remember until now. When I was a child, we lived in Guam, and I don’t remember the flavor or taste, but I remembered a weird fruit like this. So it must have been where I remember them from. Great job….and I believe that price….wholly cow, expensive. But so long as thet are good. No worries. Great blog.
