but Mom bought me an enormous mango, which I ate for lunch today.

When I was a toddler in Manaus, there was an enormous mango tree in the backyard of the house I lived. During the season a lot of mangoes would fall, then my father collected them and simply gave them away to a Japanese lady who owned a mini market. Didn't even charge the lady for the mangoes, as he just needed them gone instead of leaving them to rot away in the backyard. Back in the day, a dedicated-ethanol Ford Corcel was the only car at home, so maybe it could've been worth attempting to homebrew ethanol with some of those mangoes...

One can make an ice cream facsimile just by blending frozen bananas and cocoa powder.

Banana is not my favorite fruit. The way I eat it more often is unripe, sliced and deep-fried like potato chips. That was quite common in Amazon when I was a kid, and only recently it became more common nationwide as a "fit" alternative to potato chips...
