Mango morning with Shakespeare - "Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind. Nor hath Love's mind of any judgment taste; Wings, and no eyes, figure unheedy haste: And therefore is Love said to be a child, Because in choice he is so oft beguiled (A Midsummer Night's Dream).

Mango salad on a bed of brown rice vermicelli topped with yellow mangoes, zucchini, red onion, carrots, celery, cilantro and dressed in wildflower honey, Bragg's soy sauce, Sriracha and lemon sauce. - "This native cuisine is also subject to the flavoring provided by sauces like patis and bagoong, and the sawsawan, because this is where the communal creation of food started, in the agricultural lifestyle of the tribal communities of the pre-Hispanic Filipino. In this cuisine are expressed the flavors of the native tongue and taste. It is to this standard that the foreign foods are compared, and to which they are adjusted in budget, taste and economic level. This is quite naturally the cuisine in the heartland of the Filipino, the one he longs for when he is away, the one he finds comforting. It is part of his ethos" - Doreen Gamboa Fernandez "Culture Ingested: Notes on the Indigenization of Philippine Food.
