Sweet mangosteens, C$4.99/lb. at the Chinese grocers on Spadina.

[randomness]

I didn't buy any of them, but there were real, honest-to-god fresh mangosteens in the produce markets on Spadina Av. near Dundas St. West in Chinatown on Thursday.

Back in August, the NY Times reported that they were going for $45/pound in Brooklyn. I sense an opportunity for some Chinese grocer...

I'm sure customs is keeping them out, but that margin might be enough to inspire informal importation.

How do you know Emily Morgan?

School, as always. :)
