Snack Time

This is one of my favorite snacks:

It is sliced mango covered in salt and chili sauce.  Vendors sell it from street stalls all over town; they usually offer green mango and unripe papaya, too, and sometimes when I’m very bored I’ll find a discreet spot behind the vendor and watch him or her prepare the fruit.  The flavor reminds me of spicy mango lollipops that we used to eat in elementary school.
