Post #4 - July 26th, 2015, 4:05 pmThe Glenview West store (Willow and Sanders) has a big tropical fruits display in the lobby, with mangosteen, lychee, dragonfruit, passionfruit, guava, etc.
Assi Plaza and Super H-Mart have had them too, on occasion.What is patriotism, but the love of good things we ate in our childhood?

Post #5 - July 26th, 2015, 4:36 pmI bought one for $5 (!) at Mariano's in October.
It was horribly rotten inside.
I exchanged it for another.
Rotten.
There won't be a third.

Post #6 - July 28th, 2015, 10:15 amMan, I was excited when I saw this thread title but pretty bummed that it's $5 for one rotten mangosteen. I definitely got spoiled in Thailand buying a kg of mangosteens for about $1.

Post #8 - July 29th, 2015, 1:26 pmThey were $4.99 lb. I got 3 for around $4, but they're nothing I'd want to eat on purpose again (these, not mangosteens in general, which I love)."In pursuit of joys untasted"
