Today I went to the local Rapid Creek markets. There is always fresh produce there. You can buy lots of different vegetables and fruit. They are normally cheaper and tastier because they are local. For me it is exciting to see many tropical fruit and veg. Sometimes I don’t even know what they are and how they can be eaten or cooked. Darwin’s market culture is really great, because at the markets people can do shopping of food, souvenirs, clothing, they can even get a massage, and when they get hungry they can eat. There is big variety of Asian foods.
Though, today I went to the markets to buy some fruit. My favourite fruit is Mango and the season for them soon will finish. So I took last chance to buy mangoes. I got a really good deal - I picked up two boxes for $15. Some of them I will freeze that we could enjoy later. From some of them I will make jam and of course some will be eaten fresh.
YUM! Mangoes don't grow this far south (obviously) and they cost a small fortune at the supermarkets. They are one of my favourite fruits too and I am so jealous that you got TWO boxes for only 15 bucks! ;)
