I guess I can see that. But sounds like underripe specimens. We eat a considerable amount of mangoes during the season (easily 3-4 a day myself) and the dominant texture is luscious and melt-in-mouth soft. Which admittedly is my favorite fruit texture and the reason I prize mangoes, melons, peaches and nectarines over apples and pears.

Robin Garr wrote:My thing about mangoes is more in the middle ground. I like them, but I have a problem because they remind me of peaches (with a whiff of pine needles), and since I love ripe regional peaches more than any other fruit, I end up rating the mango as sort of an inferior and rather disappointing peach.

1. Holding the seed inside in a vertical position, I slice the sides off, slice the flesh into cubes up to the skin, and then invert the skin.

David Suchet demonstrates exactly this technique in one of the Poirot episodes.
