I've heard someone describe the mangoes frim HI as 'heavenly'. But I can't find them on the W. Coast. But I did buy a whole box of desert mangoes from Mexico. Each one weighed believe it or not 2 lbs and look
Huge. Simply delish. I couldn't eat one. Refrige the half sucked. Anyway back home we grow 32 different varieties of mangoes. Brought to our doorstep as soon as the batch arrived. From juicy bearded ones to sour, to different colors. I recall at school break we'd run outside to grab sweet 'n sour dices in a paper sprinkled with salt, spices etc. Fond memories.
