I grew up in South East Asia, and mangoes here are the best. I tried “western” mangoes and they’re trash. I feel sad for people who can’t experience eating “proper” mangoes. Although I feel it’s the same way for me if we talk about grapes, peaches, berries, etc.

Truth! Unless they come straight from the tree, this is the way to go.

Love kiwis but I get some kind of allergic reaction whenever I eat them.

I guess the takeaway is that, the more accessible a fruit is, the better it tastes. Shipping things really alters the taste and freshness somewhat.

Maybe pear has a chance but I’ve never had a draginfruit that comes close to mangoes.

Rambutan in great. But I don’t think it comes close to mangoes’ level.

Isn’t the fruit to seed ratio bad?

Shock for the Secret Seven. It’s a kid’s book that was given to me by my godfather. It was the book that made me fall in love with reading.
