What did you do in your orchard today?

[R2elk]

I picked up tree drop peaches, they are the best tasting .

Apparently one of my son's has a friend who grows citus, bananas and mangos in a heated green house. He gave me a mango Saturday and said its ready to eat. Then he asked me if I would eat it? I said exotic fresh fruit, sure I will. I've never eat a fresh mango before so he told me how to slice it. I set it in the refrigerator and just cut it open a little bit ago. You can see it's squishy ripe.

It tastes nothing at all like I was expecting. It had a flavor of very sweet soap and I can't get the soap taste oit of my mouth, even after brushing my teeth. I am most definitely not a fan of his friends fresh hot house mangos I don't even think I could "get used" to eating them.

Do you think I got a bad one? or is this truly what a fresh ripe mango tastes like? Very sweet soap, which is very disappointing...

Way back when I had tree ripened mangoes, they did not taste like soap to me. Different things taste differently to different people. Some people hate the taste of tomatoes. I can't tolerate the taste of arugula. Cilantro does taste like soap to me.
