I have tried mangoes from Bangkok, India, US, Mexican, Hawaiian. To Gonzo who reserves judgment on Indian mangoes: I was "fortunate" to have been in Kolkota at the height of their mango season. A dear friend brought us to a "local", i.e. Hindu/Filipino dinner where the host prepped us with the piece de resistance: their local mango. My verdict? Mangoes from India are sweet but watery. If I remember the flesh is pretty much of the same ratio as the fiber (as opposed to yellow Filipino mangoes being more fleshy than fibrous with the juice being more "syrupy" than watery). Thai mangoes can NEVER ever be in the same category as Filipino, or even Indian mango--considering they do produce a lot of sweet fruits, they won't get this right. Why do I arrogantly say this? The bottomline for the quality of our mango is SOIL quality. This is also the reason why mangoes from Ceby, Guimaras, Zambales still differ in quality never mind if they fall under the same species.

We're (Filipinos) aren't the only ones claiming the Fil Mango is the best in the world. My husband is Dutch, is a mango critic - RP mango is the absolute winner. Have tried mangoes from Brazil, Thailand, Pakistan, India ... Pakistan comes closest but they are too thready ... the RP Mango is DA BEST!!! What would life be without our mango?! Other variations to mango shake are with papaya and pineapple. Would you have a mango crepe recipe? We're just mad about mango! I've just made a startling discovery - the best kilawin is made from the gata of green mango instead of kalamansi. Long live the Philippine mango!! Long live the Philippine Mango!
