If you haven't had this mango, I urge you to have it. It is truly one of those fruits that can replace any dessert.

- null_flavour 3y agoSeconded. I live in a country which fortunately gets Alphonso mangoes from India. On the few occasions I have offered it to uninitiated guests and colleagues (making sure they aren't allergic first), the reaction has been a wide eyed disbelief of how good this variety is. Of course there are other varieties that are good (Langda is a close second). If you ever get a box at home, unless rules are set and respected, it quickly becomes a free for all and people who hate welding a knife or peeling a fruit quickly become adept at it. It is that good. On a separate note: we live in interesting times where I can almost have a culinary-credo like I want to try the amazing food each place has to offer. Someone needs to put a list of these things - fruits, dishes, what have you and we need a serious conversation about how some of us can sample them from far away.

- squokko 3y agoAlso worth stating that it isn't really any less bad for you than a dessert given how much sugar is in it.
