Citation: Me, a paki who has lived abroad in different countries and tasted kenyan, thai, indian and paki mangoes

;p

might be the patriot in me, or maybe i've had access to more mangoes (both in quantity and variety), but mangoes here just taste ....orgasmic

and we don't even get the good stuff, that's exported

I went to a tasting at Reliance Jamnagar, where they planted mangos (for tax breaks?). Endless varieties plonked on your plate. A flight of mangos. Still an alphonso fan.

Kesar mangos from India is my choice. And I have never had any mango grown in the Western Hemisphere anywhere near comparable to an Indian mango. The ones I had in Zimbabwe and Kenya were really good though.

I think freshness plays a part, I ate the non-pak mangoes abroad, and they must have suffered in quality from the export process, while the mangoes I eat here were probably picked (relatively) close by and thus fresher
