Okay, so this area is not nearly as historic and friendly looking.
Some dilapidated buildings. That over there is actually a famous building. I forgot the name of it, but I think this is the
next market, it's the
Maisonneuve,
"new house", I think that might mean. I don't know, my high school French is fading fast.
But yeah, I think that's it there. It's a kind of industrial looking area
but
hopefully, I'll find something good. Maybe that means it'll be
even better for some reason. I don't even know if that's the right building. This is where it says
it should be. Well, according to Google, that is the market right there.
Looking at it, that big field
surrounded by razor wire.
There it is!
So, I'm guessing Google is wrong.
Hopefully, it's somewhere nearby. I'm guessing maybe it's like the old address or something, and that's why that old
warehouse is over there, but
yeah. And I have no Wi-Fi either, so I'm just kind of like stuck out here now.
Yep, so I've decided to walk down the street
along the side of this warehouse here, that's apparently abandoned.
But I think it might be further down. I saw something like a fish shop,
like a fish shop, and it had the market name in the name. So it was like, Poissonnerie
Maisonneuve.
I'm sure if you speak French, that's just making your ears gag. But yeah, that's back this way.
I don't know how far, because I've no Wi-Fi right now, but probably pretty far. This neighborhood is much nicer and
that looks a lot more like a functional market. I found it. It took about maybe
two miles of walking. I've been walking for at least a half an hour from the wrong address
but,
yeah, there better be something good in there.
This is more like a supermarket.
Hmm.
Still a few interesting things though: berries?
Well, I didn't find anything, but it gave me a chance to take a little break,
so I'll take it. They did have some interesting things in there, just all stuff that I've had before.
So yeah, what can you do?
I've got another mango here, and this is not just any mango. This is a
pretty-looking mango. It's got a nice purple color to it,
and that's why I bought it. It kind of like stood out to me.
You know, I see a lot of mango varieties out there and,
you know, I look at them and I'm like, should I buy that? I don't know, it feels like a
rabbit hole that just keeps going. So, I try not to pick just like one-off mangoes if I can help it.
I like to pick up like several varieties.
But this one, its coloring is so
cool-looking I wanted to pick it up. This, I believe, is a Palmer mango.
It's got a PLU code. But what's fun about these PLU codes for mangoes is, if you type that into Google,
it'll show you several different varieties. It's not specific to just one mango.
It can mean several different mangoes. You know, one of them is the Palmer
so
I'm guessing that
that's what this is.
It's got a nice yellow
color to it. Yellowish orange. I see like there's
little fibers in there, but they seem to be like fairly like soft, juicy fibers.
Yeah, action shot.
Yeah, looks pretty good. The texture on this is like super juicy and soft. The smell is,
it's okay.
It smells like a cross between the
Tommy Atkins and like the Haitian.
It's got like a little bit of a nuttiness to it,
and a little bit of a pineyness to it. Pineyness I'm not so wild about.
But the nutty flavor is good-- like a little bit like cashew nut or cashew fruit, rather.
That's super soft. I'm gonna take this:
I just swallowed it whole.
Like, you do not even like need to chew it. It has like a little bit of a pineyness to it,
but not nearly as much as a Tommy Atkins. I'm picking up
cashew fruit,
floral honey
kind of flavor. The sourness on this is rather low
as far as mangoes go. It's like, it has some. It's maybe like a 2 out of 10,
around the sweetness of an orange, maybe a little bit sweeter. Like, I'm very full right now.
I just had dinner, so I kinda like don't want to eat this whole mango.
But it's very easy to eat this whole mango, just because like it literally just like breaks apart into nothing.
It's like drinking a glass of juice. You know, all this talk about
oranges, about comparing the sweetness to an orange and the sourness to an orange, you know,
maybe that isn't like a total accident, because now that I think about it,
it kind of tastes like oranges. It tastes more like a mango, but it tastes like if you took a glass of like
really good mango juice, and you squeezed like half of an orange into it.
But the main thing about it is, like, look at this texture.
Look at that. It's like so soft, it like breaks apart into
just juice the moment you put it in your mouth.
That is the amazing thing about it. The flavor's really good,
but if you are a fan of really like succulent and juicy mangoes, the Palmer is definitely the way to go.
If you like mangoes that are like a little citrusy, little nutty, also a really
good one to go with. Well, I really hope you enjoyed that video, guys.
