I generally don’t like mangoes BUT I’d third the opinion re Aussie mangoes. They are firm, luscious and are bigger than the average mango found elsewhere. I don’t like peeling too much so I just lop off the two sides and then use the knife to slice with the skin still intact and then voila to die for.

Yeah Filipino mangoes is everywhere in Canada (well, Vancouver). But I also think Australian mangoes are the best – don’t know the name, but they’re the round firm ones.

Yummy, one of my favorite fruits. The best mango, in terms of sweetness and fragrance , I have ever tasted was actually a Laotian mango variety with name literally means ” cleavage mango” due to the deep cleavage that runs down the side of the fruit. Sorry, I don’t know the Laotian name. But it was the most flavorful and really sweet. Guess where I had it? Florida, of all places. ( Is this going to go the food porn section?)

I was actually thinking today that I have not had mangoes in a bit… The ones in Canada are called Ataulfo mangoes. They are yellow like that but usually are this perfect kidney shape. Hmmm!

Alphonso mangoes are pretty good, but (in my opinion) the best tasting mangoes would have to be the Bowen from Australia.
