I hope this hasn't been discussed before. I did try a search but to be honest got very bogged down. I apologise if it was perviosly discussed.

We will be in Goa end of next week. Would anyone know what fruit is in season. I am particularly interested in Mangoes.

Cheers.

Mangoes are JUST coming in season, they will be quite pricey at the moment, we have a HUGE mango tree in the garen and it starts to fruit properly in MAY (after all the tourists have gone!!! :wink:

) - We were getting LOTS of them and giving them out at the slums last year, prices go down to as little as 1rs a mango I think, or at most 1.5rs a mango during season time :o) I presume the mangoes currently in the market are from other states, hense the higher prices...

Other fruits coming into season are Jack Fruit and Chicko

Fruit in season

I like to go to candolim market most days, I buy strawberries, pineapple, grapes, cantelope melon, oranges, apples tomatoes, all for less than £2.00, as this is overly healthy I generally get some Icecream to make sure the meal is balanced [not with the tomatoes]

Fruits in season

I think Rob has already answered that, you can get virtually any fruit, especially tropical fruit throughout the holiday season, was there anything specific you wanted.

Aren't strawberries dangerous because of colera??? They do grow in the ground

Carrotts and spuds are underground - not strawberries,they are on a plant above the ground.

I know that

The thing is, for example, pregnant women are told not to eat strawberries because they grow on the ground (ok the plant is above the ground, it's not a root, but you peel roots before you eat and you won't peel strawberries) and also plants that grow in the water (like watercress) because they're most likely to be contaminated... and this was my thought about cholera and strawberries :roll:

Just to help the conversation along-- I am not pregnant so have no worries with stawberries or any fruit come to that , as long as it is in season.

When I said 'in season' I hope I didn't confuse as with dogs etc being 'in season' hence the reference to pregnancy. lol

I wasn't worried

I was just curious if that wasn't an issue about strawberries

You needn't be pregnant to get cholera if my theory was right :shock:

Anyway, I won't eat strawberries and I can't get a shot for cholera since I'm planning to get pregnant next month (I'm in season lol) and can't have any vac. 3 months before doing that :oops:

(12 days to go)
Didn't want to make anyone worry, sorry for thinking too much :wink:
