Serious Eats Reader Survey
It says in the T&C that you need to give your social security number- so this is only open to Americans?

Meet & Eat: Chubby Hubby
Chubby Hubby is definitely one of Singapore's better food bloggers. A lot of people talk about their favourite place/food but they can't put their finger on why. This makes it tough when people of different tastes see a recommendation- how are you going to know if you like it too?
Mangosteens in the U.S.
Oh yeah ... mangosteens are NOT CHEAP in Asia either. Really!
Mangosteens in the U.S.
How's this for a point of trivia about the mangosteen (which i really really love) ... If you turn the fruit over you'll see what looks like a flat spread of "hard petals" on the bottom center of the fruit.
The number of petals on the bottom is equal to the number of seeds inside!
(The more the better- because it means the seeds are smaller so you have more of the sweet white flesh to eat!)

Any survey that asks for my income sends me to the exit.

I want to participate in the survey but it starts on page 3, #17....I can't get it to go back to page 1 #1.

I can't seem to get there. Everytime I click on the link directing me to survey, I end up on the lemonade story.
Mangosteens in the U.S.
I was near The Orchard (1367 Coney Island Avenue, b/n Avenues J and K, Brooklyn) this weekend and stopped by to see if they had any. No dice. They had some the weekend of the 11th and said they'd just put in for an order and might be getting them in toward the middle of this week. Call before you head out there: 718-377-1799
Mangosteens in the U.S.
Wow - I found them in Calgary (Canada) this weekend for 5.95/pound. We bought some a while ago, and they were good - but not worth that price and certainly not worth $45 per pound! I'm sure they'd be much, much better in Thailand.

Alright, it sounds like I need me some mangosteen action!
...When I go to Asia (haven't been there for about 9 years). Yes. It will happen. All that money I save by not buying $45 per pound mangosteens will go to my Asia-travel fund.
Mangosteens in the U.S.
hmmm... they were selling at $1.50 for 2.2 pounds back in Singapore when I left =)
I beg to differ on "the joy of eating mangosteens is in eating them in Thailand" though... there is joy in eating mangosteens (and lychees, longans, jackfruit, guavas, etc.) wherever one can get one's hands on them!
