Do you eat fruits in winter? Nothing is in season. Well ok citrus is in season! But not much else. And tropical fruits (bananas, mangos, pineapple) are coming a long way, though I do love them.
I was reading about what the French eat for breakfast, which isn't much (and I haven't been able to get myself to eat nothing for breakfast - being an american and therefore a pig or soemthing ) And one webpages said "In winter, the French prefer to eat preserved fruits for the extra sugar that they need. Fruits are not wholly consumed. In fact, 3-4 slices of peaches are enough for every single serving of a traditional French breakfast"
For the extra sugar they need, oh I love that. Excuse me I must go get a chocolate bar now, the extra sugar I *need* you know! But preserved fruit is one way to go (though I don't know if the french or anyone really do it), and maybe makes a lot more sense than fresh mango. I remember the sugar syrup home preserved apricots of my childhood.
