Why not banana? Most Americans don’t know what a mango is or what it tastes like......................................
Most Americans have no idea about Yuengling....
Mangos are delicious when deep orange, soft, juicy, and very ripe, like an exceedingly rich peach crossed with something indescribably wonderful. I buy them here in Florida whenever I see them, and luckily they grow in south Florida though it is too cold in my area of the state.
But when they aren’t perfectly ripe, when the flesh is still on the yellow side and they are still crisp, mangos taste of turpentine. Why stores sell them cut into pieces at this stage I don’t know because they’re dry and awful. Maybe they thing the ripe ones are too sloppy.
Winemakers have already glommed onto mangos, which is a shame. They shouldn’t be wasted in booze when there are never enough fresh ones to eat. Beermakers have been screwing up the exotic fruit prices for a while now, first by gobbling up all the pawpaws [which taste like vanilla custard] they can find. Now I suppose it’s mangos since pawpaws are hard to grow commercially.
I hope they never turn to wild persimmons.
