--> Mangoes are really slimy, I'm not sure whether I like them or not.

This is slightly off topic, but I felt that it was important.

i love mangoes. they remind me australia.

lol at sheldahl.

mangos are great for eating

i'd think tantan would prefer graphic novels.

the last Ware book didn't taste so good, sort of like cardboard

I spent 50 years as a were-book, haunting libraries by the full moon, until I killed the original were-book.
Turns out, it was Stephen King.
Best, Fruit ever.
On a lighter note.
The Phillipenes(i spelled this wrong) brand dried mangoes from costco are amazing.

indian mangoes are supposed to be better (tastier, with more flavors) than filipino mangoes

Sometimes overripe mangoes taste like shoe polish

I'm also wanting to try the (unrelated) fresh mangosteen

Keep the mango pulp off your skin. It contains urushiol, which is the "active ingredient" in Poison Oak/Ivy. I once broke out in rashes around my mouth from a delicious mangoe that I couldn't help but smear all over my face. I only found out about the urushiol connection years later. I am super-allergic to urushiol, so probably most of you guys wouldn't even react to the lower mango urushiol dosage. Keep in mind, though, that repeated exposure to urushiol only increases your chances for an outbreak.

That said, I love mangoes. I second the best fruit ever comment. I wonder if eating those things would lessen the chance of urushiol allergic reaction. I say that because I have read that some native americans and fruity hippies believe that eating a small dose of poison oak/ivy will give you a sort of immunity to the skin reactions.
