FLAVOR OF THE MONTH

Chico, a popular Philippine fruit, also known as nispero or chico sapote and member of the Sapotaceae family is native to the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico and Central America. The plants are cultivated almost exclusively for commercial fruit production, but the sticky sap called latex was also coveted by indigenous Americans. In fact, the sap is the original source of chewing gum or chicle in Spanish.(more)

This is something--- Did you know that in 1954, chico was Magnolia Ice Cream's Flavor of the Month for December? "Ano kaya ang lasa?", someone asked me. " Hmm, siguro lasang tsiko, hehehe!"

    Yes, Auggie! Meron pang Magnolia. Nandun pa rin ang office/restaurant/plant nila sa Aurora Blvd. They still serve ice cream there. Sinamahan na nila ng iba pa tulad ng mga sandwiches,etc.

    Ano kaya ang lasa, Roland? Mukhang ayaw ng mga Pinoy ang lasa, kaya nawala sa sirkulasyon, hehe!
