The first mango I ever had was on deployment in the Mediterranean. I cant recall if we were in Greece or Italy, but one day HT2 Lake was walking by the mess decks with some strange item in his hand. I inquired about it, and he said it was a mango. I was not familiar with such an item and he said I was a choad monkey. Then he cut off a slice for me and I was about as happy as I've ever been, including that time I picked up a beach bunny in that one club.........

But I digress. Anyway, every mango I've since purchased from an American supermarket has been inferior to the extreme. No flavor or poor at best. Do not know why.
Where can I find acceptable mangos?

Don't you hate that? I found some good ripe (yellow) mangos from a street vendor. The supermarkets have those horrible red/green mangos, that aren't young and aren't ripe - just some mix of nasty. I haven't found young (green) mangos in the states yet.

Could have been a different variety or cultivar of mango. There are between 500 and 1000 named "mangoes" on the world market...

they do know fruit.

you gots to find a decent produce stand. depending on where you live, that might be difficult.

I live in CA, where everything is awesome--especially food, so....really spoiled out here. :D

failing that, head down to Brazil.

loose women and superb fruit. Probably your favorite place in the world, from what I've gathered.

lol. How long were you waiting to say that?

If you don't know by now that I can whip these up on the fly, you, sir, have not been paying attention. The search function should help. Check me out and report back. ;)

Christ, I used to get that dimbulb response of idiot disbelief in grade school:

"Hyuck, whare did you'un larn that there joke? Ah nevah heard that one before."
