American mom who moved to India says she can never leave the country. Her reason: Mangoes

For most expats, life in India brings a whirlwind of colour, culture, and chaos. But for Kristen Fischer, an American mom living in Delhi, one sweet reason stands out above all: mangoes. While others rave about yoga retreats and heritage monuments, Kristen has fallen hard for India’s summer superstar—the mango. And she’s not even trying to hide her obsession.

In a recent Instagram video, Kristen shared a candid moment of snacking on slices of the king of fruits, calling Indian mangoes “one of the best-tasting things on the planet.” She added, with her signature wit, that mangoes are the reason she’s willing to brave Delhi’s scorching heat. “This mama said it’s okay to eat an abundance of mango during the summer,” she wrote, confessing that she tries to consume “a year’s worth of mangoes in one season.”

Kristen, who frequently posts about everything from chole bhature cravings to India’s affordable healthcare, ended on a fruity note: “I can never leave India because I am completely obsessed with mango season.” Can you blame her?
