I will fight you on that...the best ones are the Alphanso mangoes from Salem in India. The problem is they are so scarce even in Salem. So they are not as available as the Ratnagiri version. The is a variety of mango called Sugar Baby(Direct translation), a whole different type of mango. You bite into it and suck the flesh out, and there is no cutting. End of season Banganapalli is also fantastic. The ones, in the beginning, have a sulfuric tinge to them sometimes. I think the west misses out a lot on mangoes. The same thing with bananas, the west has the most boring type of banana. Unfortunately, even in India, the more exotic varieties of bananas are dying out.
