Bought one of those supermarket fruit tubs this evening and didn't notice the mango in it. picked up one of the mango pieces without realising and spat it out as soon as I bit it. Had mango juice before and though it was vile. I just can't stand mango at all.

I hate Mango . All my friends go on about how nice it is so last week thought id try some and it was vile, made me sick up alittle in my mouth as well. I wont ever try it again.

I am mightily unimpressed with mango, it tastes like raw potato.

I also hate mango and I hate the way it is always the dominant flavour in a tropical fruit juice. Passion fruit is another one.
Yuk! Give me refreshing citrus flavours any day.

Me too! Citrus all the way!

I find a lot of tropical fruit quite bland.

I like the mango fruit not here in Britain though imported or not. Hate mango juice though.

A slice of mango with some lemon juice drops on top........mmmmmmmmm

I love mango but the mangoes you get here aren't very nice - they're quite fibrous and tasteless. But the mangoes in Malaysia are gorgeous, my grandpa has a mango tree and they are delicious. They're dark green in colour and the flesh is deep orange and are so sweet it's like eating honey. Yum!!!

They are difficult to eat without making a mess, that is for sure.

Yep, I never buy them for that reason.

Never tasted the ones you get here but the ones you get in the tropics are very nice! The taste can vary widely depending on where and how they are grown as well as how far they've travelled.

Uhh ripe mangoes are delicious. slightly orange in colour i think. British mangoes are no fun.

I hate mangoes but like mango flavoured things like juice, yoghurt etc.

I'm the same with tomatoes, love ketchup, soup, pasta sauce etc but can't eat tomatoes!!

After reading some of the posts on here, I am going to reserve judgement on mangos til I have tried them in their native lands!

That doesn't seem so crazy. I don't enjoy eating blackberries and raspberries but I really enjoy their flavour.

Mango Lassi is gorge

I'm not a huge fan of fruit but mango is actually one of the few types I enjoy.

Mango seems to go off very quickly and can be very bitter in pre-packaged fruit salads. I tend to avoid any smoothies with mango in as I've had a bottle almost blow up a couple of days after opening despite storing it in the fridge!

Huh!

A lot of the Oranges and Lemons in the UK are brought in from warmer regions. Think Isreal, North Africa, Florida, Southern Spain (Valencia) etc!

The more sunshine a fruit grows in, the more flavoursome the fruit. Temperate regions have nothing to compare with range of flavours found in the tropics.

Mango is the bomb! . I love fresh mango, love mango juice, love mango in a fruit cocktail, love mango as a garnish, love mango as a flavouring and I could go on....


The problem with eating non-native fruit in the UK you rarely get the authentic sun-ripened version. Rather you get the "battery hen" version.

I love Mango flavour in smoothies and stuff but can't stand the fruit they give here, it's so tough and only the very centre has the mangoey taste, the rest tastes like you're eating the skin or something, it's very weird.

Tried one abroad and although the outside edges (Perhaps half a cm) still tasted of the skin, the majority of it tasted amazing, it was very mangoey and kinda wetter than what they sell here I thought.

Mango juice is amazing.

I hate those green/red skinned mangoes you get in supermarkets. I only eat honey mangoes.

I love ripe mango! On its own, in a smoothie or my favourite way - with savoury flavours in a leaf or rice salad with some balsamic - it really balances the flavour!

I don't mind the flavour but I dislike the texture of fresh mango. Hard to explain, but it feels a bit like a bar of soap.

The trouble with mangoes in the UK is getting them 'just right'. A day too early and they are too hard, a day too late and they are mulchy. You have to distinguish between the two varieties though - as a few here have already said they can be very fibrous, which makes them very difficult to eat, but a firm/smooth-fleshed variety is also available, which are deliciously juicy whilst being user-friendly. Tesco specifies on the label which type they are - unfortunately they are the only supermarket that seem to do this, so buying them elsewhere may indeed be a gamble. Either way, they're one of the most nutritious of all fruit.

On the peeling/messy eating front, there is actually a neat little mango slicer you can get on the market, in most home/kitchenware etc shops I would imagine. I can't really describe it but if you have a dirty mind it looks very rude.

we get given mangos from indian shops, most times over ripe ones, aqnd too sweet.

YUCK

It is hard to get a mango at just the right stage of its deliciousness, but when you do manage it, it's the yummiest thing - sweet, slightly tart, juicy, just mmmmmmmmmmm!
