I store most of my fruit at room temp like apples and mangoes and only put in the refrigerator stuff like strawberries, etc. And I normally warm my mangoes slightly on Defrost in the microwave before eating. Nothing like a body temp mango! "Her lips were like a warm mango" is a phrase I saw a man on TV say years ago! :-) John Kuthe, RN, BSN... |

The mango here during mango season are large and totally awesome. I think the smell comes from the tree sap. Some mango are strong with that taste and some are not. I can understand your disdain for it. I don't like that smell in olive oil. My parents have a tree at their house.

I never liked mango, often too fiberous... I like peaches and nectarines, years ago I planted an apricot tree, I couldn't stop eating them. I also like plums, green gage is my favorite. https://www.groworganic.com/products...y-s-semi-dwarf Unfortunately I can't grow plum trees in New England, the soil is infected with black knot disease. https://www.elitetreecare.com/librar...es/black-knot/ |

I am spoiled in some ways. I live in a fruit belt and can get fresh strawberries, raspberries, red or black currants, apricots, peaches, sweet cherries, sour cherries, melons and more... in season. One produce stand is within walking distance, and several are within bicycling distance. > anyways, back to mangoes, yeah, i could eat a lot more of > them than i do now. I envy people who have access to fresh mangoes. They are better and cheaper here this year than they have been in the past. For a while they were really expensive and either over ripe or under ripe or a combination of the two, so I usually opted for frozen. The frozen was never as good as the odd really good mango, but it was better than most, and no waste and no work. |

If I had a genetic variant that prevented me from eating a perfectly good herb, I'd call it a defect. I'll admit, when I first tried cilantro it tasted soapy and not entirely pleasant. But repeated exposure enabled me to enjoy the flavor. Clearly, I don't have that variant or it would still taste bad to me. And now I can enjoy foods made with cilantro. I often use sprigs of cilantro in salads. Maybe 10-15% of the total leafage. Cindy Hamilton |

You just taught yourself to enjoy eating soap. As I understand it, for those with the variant, cilantro tastes as bad as sticking a bar of soap in your mouth. My initial reaction was, "This is a little like soap. I'm not sure I like it." But as with many unfamiliar tastes, repetition and familiarity did the trick. I was the same way with beer. At first it tasted bitter and funky, but I persevered. And this was watery American beer, mind you. Cindy Hamilton |
