[latin_lunatic]

Origins:
India, though the specific one I'm writing about is the version made in Mexico.

Where to find it: Grocery stores will have the common one (which I believe are mostly in season during the summer), I found these in Sams and I THINK they're the same ones I get in Puerto Rico which can be found in grocery stores to people selling them in the

My Theater teacher once told me a story about an illegal mango.

I can't remember the story. But I think it had something to do with a certain mango being illegal in some country or it was illegal to have it because of exporting laws.

Something, I dunno.

Well that makes sense, some countries have stricter import laws.

Like for some reason you can't ship plastic dolls to Spain(?)

I LOVE MANGOSSSSSSS SO MUCH

[kittykat1979]

I love mango blended with rice milk it makes the BEST shake.

There was a shake I used to have at my college at the Freshens which sadly I haven't found anywhere else.

It was:
Mango, Strawberries, Bananas, Passion Fruit, and their juice blend base. IT WAS SO FUCKING AWESOME AND AWFUL FOR YOU I WISH I HAD FRIENDS AT MY COLLEGE STILL SO I COULD GO VISIT AND HAVE ONE.

Which one is the "common" mango? Because my "common" mango is the yellow one (although that yellow one looks like it needs to be eaten rn )

Also, all ways to eat a mango is the correct way.

Time to eat the mangoes downstairs.

The common one is the original from India. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mangifera_indica

Though I've never seen it here, the most common mango to find is the Tommy Atkins one since it's apparently EVERYWHERE now.

[derevko_child]

ahhhh. I love mangoes, but I don't like that one. It tastes so weird. lol

...purple mangoes? what the hell

[latin_lunatic]

I never knew there were purple passionfruits until I saw them online. My mind was blown.

[entwashian]

No. I refuse the mango.

[csichick_2]

What? Why?

[entwashian]

I just don't like them. :/
