Mild Hot?

My impulse buying got the best of me tonight. After wandering around the local Pavillions grocery store, I decided that I wanted something sweet. Candy is forbidden, so I stopped by the dried fruit section. Dried fruit is pretty pricey, and I'm pretty cheap. The dried papaya, pineapple, and mango were all $5.99, and I thought six bucks was a little too much to pay.

I spotted the Chili Mango for a mere $3.99. My good buddy Jose from Time Warner used to bring in spiced mango all the time to work, and we would indulge in some mango with pico de gallo (Mexican pico de gallo that is, not the tomato/onion/cilantro you're thinking of). Perfect.

I couldn't wait until I got home, so we opened the package on the walk back. I don't know what they consider "mild hot" in Mexico, but these suckers were hot, and this was not the spiced mango we used to eat back in the office. My nose was running, my eyes were watery, and my tongue was on fire. We both couldn't believe how hot these things were.

Chris plans on taking them to work tomorrow to share with some unknowing victims (coworkers).
