#TodayILearned that the delicious Mexican fruit sauce #Chamoy probably derives its name and recipe from the #Philippines’ “kiamoy”, which is a fruit sauce made with the same recipe. That recipe was in turn derived from a #Hokkien #Chinese recipe brought by Chinese immigrants, who called it 鹹梅 “kiam-mui” (literally: salted plums).

As a Hokkien descendant who loves #Mexican #fruit salads, this makes me happy.

Also, if y'all are blessed to be near a Dunkin/Baskin Robbins combo (or just a Baskin Robbins?), Get the mangonada drink!

Mango puree, #chamoy, and tajin.

Better yet hit up your local joints; you know they have something similar! Or make your own. But it was a nice morning start.

This could be us but you’re not $6.50 at @larealmichoacanafortworth@twitter.com and about to keep me from having a heat stroke. 😩🥭🥤 #fwfoodie #gayfoodie #mangosmoothie #chamoy https://instagr.am/p/CBwgLD_pX00/
