I was thinking today... and I don't think I've ever met a single person that dislikes mangoes.

Do you dislike them? Do you know somebody who does? I honestly think it's just a universally loved fruit

Should go to South East Asia, specifically Thailand and Cambodia. The mangoes are off the charts good and dirt cheap. Tons of street vendors that slice up a whole mango for you, stick it in a bag and give you a skewer. I must have had a mango or two every day. The pineapples are also very good.

Unripe mangoes are underrated. They have the texture of firm apples and sourness of limes with a hint of bitterness. Perfect in somtams.

I got a sister that lives in the tropics and has Mango trees dropping fruit all over her backyard and she doesn't think much of them. I'm in fucking Canada and I think they taste like heaven. I can't even imagine what a ripe one off a tree would be like. I have pear trees and apples here that grow here but the apples are stunted this year and the fruits never really ripen and all taste like shit in this part of the country. We grow nice barley and wheat however and it's actually snowing here a little at the moment although it's just a storm and not really winter yet but will be by Halloween.

I went to the island of Santo Antão in Cape Verde once, there was a beatiful green jungle with a shitton of Mangos that were just there for anyone to pick. Got a huge barrel filled with it and ate mangos everyday, but everytime I woke up in the morning I got huge diarrhea. I still love mangoes but I can't eat them if they are small like the ones in that island.

Usually the ones that are sold in supermarket have already been soaked.

Why do welfare queens think this is relevant information?

Welfare queen? Nigga wtf are you smoking. Maybe I should've said "American" instead.

And yeah, he commanded a unit of soldiers for 9 years. New soldiers consistently suffered from diarrhea after arriving because of eating fruit fresh from the tree. Obviously he had to advise them how to eat the fruit and NOT get diarrhea, and probably got information from the locals how not to get the shits. Seems pretty credible to me.

Who's the supreme arbiter of mango knowledge to you then? Like wtf lol

Sure that's fine, I guess. A normal person would just say "a military person I know", or something to that effect. It's only welfare queens who think that dropping obscure terms into normal conversations makes them seem "cool".
