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.
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...
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 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
Sometimes you try your best and everything seems to hit the fan no matter how much you try, so you take that raincheck and take yourself out for a day.
This is what I call it hahahah made by mums everywhere but the greased up version is sold along stalls in Mumbai. Two regular slices of white bread, buttered, and the middle filling is cream cheese with red onions, coriander/cilantro, tomatoes and some minced chillis. All veggies chopped mini cube size so they blend with the cheese. Toasted crispy.
