February 2, 201313 yr I just ate 3 ripe mangos and they were SOOOO good. But, I might pay for it later by visiting the toilet more often. I LOVE Thai mangos. They are like cream from the skin to the stone, but they have to be ripe. Thais like their sour, green mangos, but I haven't acquired a taste for that yet. Unfortunately, mangos go from ripe to mush in short order. The moment those tiny black spots start to spread is the time to peel and slice them up. If you wait a couple days too long the flesh goes black with bruising. I had 3 ripe mangos and decided to cut up all three at the same time. I was only going to nibble a bit and put the remainder in the fridge... but, one bite led to another and pretty soon I just ate the whole bowl full... total debauchery.
February 2, 201313 yr didn't you mean to share this on facebook? Which part? The gluttony or the prediction of toilet time? I was thinking it was an Instagram moment.
February 2, 201313 yr Many varieties of mangoes here, might take you a while to find your favourite.Maybe do a taste test at the supermarkets where they print the name on the wrap and then buy at the markets !
February 2, 201313 yr After a while you will get sick of Yellow Mangoes and switch to Green only ....... like the rest of us. Yellow is for tourists, green is for ex-pats.
February 2, 201313 yr Prefer the yellow ones if still a little sour. If soft & sweet, compost them. Green ones tasty, too.
February 2, 201313 yr If you we4r4e a Christian you would need to go to confession. Not so much for eating thart many but for not sharing them.
February 2, 201313 yr Author didn't you mean to share this on facebook? It was kind of like facebook, wasn't it. I just happen to enjoy mangos (addicted ?), and the ones we get in Canada are all from Mexico with the pink skin. They are okay until you try the ones from Thailand. And, thank you, Sparkles for telling me there are different varieties here. I didn't know that, but with my luck the names will all be printed in Thai.
February 2, 201313 yr Author If you we4r4e a Christian you would need to go to confession. Not so much for eating thart many but for not sharing them. I sure ain't Christian although I was raised that way. In fact, after studying history, I now hate all religions equally. But, I'll share anything I have with anybody... and preferably those in need.
February 2, 201313 yr Shouldn't this be on the food forum? nothing to do with Chiang Mai - you get mangoes everywhere in Thailand.
February 2, 201313 yr After a while you will get sick of Yellow Mangoes and switch to Green only ....... like the rest of us. Yellow is for tourists, green is for ex-pats. Green, thinly sliced with nam plaa and sugar. Mmmm.

February 2, 201313 yr Author Shouldn't this be on the food forum? nothing to do with Chiang Mai - you get mangoes everywhere in Thailand. I thought about that when I posted it, but Chiang Mai seems one of the last provinces to have ripe mangos avaiable. I looked for them last November and December and hardly found any that were ripe, but lots of green ones. Down in the southern provinces they've had ripe mangos for ages. The mods can move this over if they see fit.

February 2, 201313 yr I thought this thread was going to be a tail of someone's dirty night on the town.
February 2, 201313 yr Author I thought this thread was going to be a tail of someone's dirty night on the town. That is for the General forum. This is the food forum specializing in Pizza and hamburgers.
February 2, 201313 yr Is this going to lead to a 'where are the best mangoes ?' thread ??? to compete with the best, pizza, hamburger, cheese cake.... I'm told mangoes are fattening ? Is that true ? I've stopped eating them as a result !
February 2, 201313 yr After a while you will get sick of Yellow Mangoes and switch to Green only ....... like the rest of us. Yellow is for tourists, green is for ex-pats. This expat prefers the yellow ones.There are a number of different varieties.

I've stopped eating them as a result ! Everything is fattening if you eat too much and don't exercise.
February 2, 201313 yr Shouldn't this be on the food forum? nothing to do with Chiang Mai - you get mangoes everywhere in Thailand. It is on the "food forum", what are you, a newbie?
February 3, 201313 yr riveting stuff!! Get a life!!! It really should be of supreme indifference what you eat or describing your bowel habits. DUH
February 3, 201313 yr riveting stuff!! Get a life!!! It really should be of supreme indifference what you eat or describing your bowel habits. DUH You seem to have forgotten the country we're in. I was watching a Lakorn the other day and a whole scene was entirely about food of the day.
February 3, 201313 yr Author riveting stuff!! Get a life!!! It really should be of supreme indifference what you eat or describing your bowel habits. DUH Wouldn't YOU just be a pleasant person to be around. Oh, wait, that was sarcasm in case you don't recognize it. I learned a few things about mangos that I didn't know before. What inspiring topics have you added?
February 3, 201313 yr riveting stuff!! Get a life!!! It really should be of supreme indifference what you eat or describing your bowel habits. DUH perhaps you would have preferred how to eat mangos, if you are riding a black Harley???? Would that make it ok for you????
