The colours in Mauritius seem to be brighter and richer – and this is certainly the case when it comes to the fruit that has been ripened by the warm sun. We were spending the day in Port Louis when we came across this hawker selling a brightly coloured fruit that instantly attracted my eye.
“That looks delicious,” I told my husband. I had to stop and look closer.
The vendor was very gracious as he allowed us to snap pictures of his wares.
After taking the pictures, my husband searched in his pockets for some rupees so that we could taste the richly-coloured fruit.
I did not take any of the sugar the vendor offered to sprinkle on top of the fruit. Instead I savoured the tangy taste of sun-ripened fruit. Eating the fruit on the side of the road was definitely a treat.
Are you tempted to buy fruit from sidewalk vendors?
