Mango soup


 In London I used to love drinking mango lassi in Indian restaurants. You could order it sweet, or savoury, salted.

A four and a half hour flight from Stansted airport, north of London, took me and my husband to Tenerife.

I first had mango soup in the parador Teide on Tenerife, one of the Spanish, Spanish-speaking Canary Islands.

The second time was at a restaurant Casa Osmunda, the name of the original owner of the house, on the island of La Palma.

We arrived after a two and a half hour ferry trip from Trnerife . , town hillside, Santa Cruz de la Palma, has the pory for ferIed and tbe airport.
