i really love mangoes.

It's hard to compare apples and mangos, but if we're gonna consider favorite tropical fruits, I friggin love fresh mangosteen. It's like a little fruity Bob-bom. Smooth and silky texture, creamy sweet flesh and just fantastic. They don't seem to travel well, unfortunately.

Or fresh pineapple.

I had fresh pineapple off a farmer's cart in the tropics two decades back. Afterward, I couldn't eat pineapple in the US for almost three years. It was so much better than the canned or grocery-store stuff there was just no comparison.

I'm not really a fan. They have a certain light taste of black pepper that ruins them for me. I guess I'm sort of like the cilantro-soap people.

Perfectly ripe cherries, pitted and frozen

I really like pears.

I love mango especially because it can be frozen & it doesn't breakdown the texture nor the flavour. It one of the only frozen fruits I can get from grocery store that I can eat out of the package (vs. most frozen fruit is only good for smoothies etc IMO). My favorite is plums, but only from my granma's tree. Nothing sold in stores would ever be labeled "plum" if it were up to me. I also like pineapple alot. Apples, oranges, peaches, while sometimes store bought you might get a good one once in a while, homegrown (or local....basically fresh) fruit has no equal. But i practically live off fruit except during the 3 winter months.

Lychee or starfruit... and sometimes durian

I like soapberry fruits (lychee and rambutan).

every other one and none of them. fruits are distincitive. I love apples, grapes, oranges, kiwi, watermelon, etc etc

Refrigerate your mangos before eating! So much nicer than a lukewarm mango.

Kiwi. I love kiwi so much, I eat the fuzzy skin too!

Mangoes smell like armpits.

Jackfruit

Garcinia fruit (mangosteens and such, no relation to mangoes).

My family actually had this conversation the other day. I decided it was lanzones.

Pakistani mangoes

Especially if they are shipped in a crate that has been inconspicuously loaded onto an airplane.
