Delicious Mangosteens: Better Than a Hot Fudge Sundae?
We tried our first Mangosteens last month at our favourite restaurant in Vienna- KIANG. The owner kindly presented us with a plateful of open mangosteens and litchis as a 'on-the-house' desert. They are the perfect way to finish a spicy Thai dinner- light, cool, and very refreshing! I can't wait to have them again and I'd definitely give up a hot fudge sundae for a few of these tiny gems!

So true! Enough with the women's yogurt ads already. Pour in here...

trader joe's was selling freeze dried mangosteens for a while. that's the closest i've ever gotten, but they were delicious.

Here is my blog post on eating fresh unirradiated mangosteen in Singapore. http://livetonibble.blogspot.com/2007/07/best-jet-lag-cure-mangosteen.html

Oooh they are good, just picked them up at my local chinatown mart, $6.99/lb, about $15 for a bag of 12.
Just squeeze them, and the outer shell will pop open, then eat the little white sections. They are like delicious candy...or something...I don't even like candy. They're just amazing.

Mangosteens are an integral part of my memory of the month I spent in Cambodia four years ago-- I must have eaten dozens of them.
I don't know if I could recreate that experience with irradiated, imported mangosteens, and a part of me doesn't want to try.
Still, hooray for more recognition for these little treasures!

probably the best fruit i have ever had - you don't have to cut them open, just kinda work thru them with your thumbs and eat the goodness inside. They are kinda like a lychee without the cloying sweetness and are the perfect "cool" to the "heat" of the durian - it is all about balance.

How does one select them? How can I tell if they are ripe? My local chinese supermarket has them for $7.99/lb.

Ahhhh I crave these things...
I found a couple of tiny, rock hard samples in Chinatown a while ago...they didn't taste like they do in Asia, but they didn't taste too shabby either.
They were just...different.

That's a difficult comparison. What about, mangosteen or apple? Well, I'd have the mangosteen every time. M or orange? M. M or strawberry? M. Etc, etc, etc.

I've seen those mangosteens too, mh330, perched out front of the fruit stand outside Tu Qunyh Pharmacy, on the Bowery, but that was months ago. As onedaylingers writes, they're sitting on that white cooler almost like after-dinner mints, or in this case, after-durian mangosteens. "Fiery" durian I wouldn't say, though; they're heaty but creamy, too.

In Asia, mangosteens are in season whenever durians are. People eat the mangosteens which are considered "cooling" in Traditional Chinese Medicine to counteract the "heatiness" or "fire" in durians. It keeps over-indulgers like me from getting a really bad sore throat from all that fiery durian!

I actually saw mangosteens for sale on the street in chinatown a few months ago and thought "wow! i guess the mangosteen revolution has begun", and didn't bother to buy any because they were a little far away, there were big crowds, i was in a hurry, and i figured i can just come on down to chinatown anytime and get a few. Needless to say, I HAVEN"T SEEN THEM SINCE! Talk about kicking yourself...

Loved these.
Ever since I was little, I've had bad associations with Yoplait... so I could never quite wrap my brain around those commercials.

@blondee47: SNL sketches don't last long on Youtube; NBC forces Youtube to remove any of their content. They know you're Canadian by your IP address - you can get around it by using a proxy (google for more). Can you see the video here?
