so many local varieties but in particular nam dok mai (มะม่วน้ำดอกไม้) which translates to nectar mango. i feel a great sense of loss that i don’t have access to them anymore.
here in the States i make do with Mexican ataulfo mangos (they’re lovely). i have yet to try the famous alphonso mango of India.
i also love cherries and nectarines. omg and lychee! i’ve never had a good lychee here but in Thailand they’re huge and juicy and sweet
I agree with royallmonarch that proper mangos are not readily available in the States. However, I've never had a good peach without immediately thinking, "the worst mango from Thailand would KO this mf."
I would also say Lychee but it feels scarce even in Thailand. Seemed like Lychee would fruit for a single week and then be gone. Oh, but what a week it was...
if i can't have that, then Indian and Pakistani mangoes. Best. In. The. World. Sorry East Asia, but your mangoes cannot compare, I have had them, they aren't it, and that is one of many hills I'll die on.
...I also like longans, can eat a whole bag.
i’ve been a mango fan since birth but finally as an adult i bought a mango and vowed to eat it at its peak ripeness. (as a child they would rot cuz my parents didnt care about them, whores) i just did and it was heavenly 🥹 one of the best treats in the world i swear
eff the inedible pale yellow under ripe precut mango from whatever store and buy a whole mango!!!!! its worth the week wait.
i have a second one too thank god but it’s not as ripe yet
now if i keep buying them on rotation i can have one a week 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
