Alphonso mangoes

I've been mulling over May's menu for a long time. I just couldn't decide what pudding to serve. And then I remembered - around May/early June there are these amazing mangoes that arrive in our local shop; they are stacked in big boxes lined with paper straw, they look and smell delicious and we can't walk past them - we buy a big box at least once a week and struggle to make them last more than a few days.

This is no blog - but if it was, I would write a long, long entry about them. Perhaps just read this...

Or, maybe come in May and try them yourselves.

Except... you can't... sorry! Our two dates have gone. But here is the menu if you are interested, if you are keen for a date in June or July, email us now griddleproject@gmail.com 7th June is already booked and we want a few weekends to have some fun in the sun, but we would also love to see you too.
