The closest we can get is an Ataulfo mango.

At the food pantry this Friday they had mangos that are more common in the US.  <a href="http://judythewriter.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/US.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6940" src="http://judythewriter.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/US.jpg" alt="US" width="275" height="183" /></a>They do not taste the same and Beekeeper Brian does not like them.  So I decided I do not like them.

However, we tried a blackened chicken and mango recipe that was quite good.  I decided since I had an abundance of mangos, I would cut up and freeze some for use in this particular recipe.  As I was peeling and cutting mangos, I tasted one and discovered they are quite good.  Not the same as manilla mangos but good just the same.

I thought of the book Green Eggs and Ham.  After saying repeatedly, “I do not like green eggs and ham” the main character tries them and realizes he does like them.

I suppose I would eat mangos in a box, with a fox, in the rain, on a train…
