the mango is nature's perfect fruit

[LS21]

it has a nice appealing color
the smell is fragrant
it is large enough to be substantial food intake
texture is not too soft not too mealy

and it kinda looks like a boob

No, the banana is. Full of so much goodness.

Tomato.

i think i like mangos over bananas, something about the texture of banana throws me off, sort of like a tomato. i like both and will eat them regardless though.

Is there a more perfect fruit for human consumption?

The mango sucks. "People who are hypersensitive to poison oak often get a mouth rash from eating mangoes."

This.

A properly ripe mango of a specific variety is very tasty. But its hard to prepare to eat. Different varieties aren't as good, and often stores sell under-ripe or over-ripe mangoes. Yuck.

i like mango, but only the south asian kind.

I HATED fresh mango until a friend told me how to cut one. Now I love them.

Slice on each side of the pit, score it like a tic-tac-toe board, invert it by pushing the peel, then slice the cubes off. So easy, and delicious...

unfortunately I found out I was one of those the hard way.

I can eat the inside fine, but if any of the oil from the mango skin gets on me its game over.

Mangoes are my favorite fruit, always have been. That said, they're definitely not the best in terms of nutritional value, but whatever.

Mangos are fine, except for the tendency to leave little mango threads stuck between your teeth.
