Mangos are not something we see every day in the grocery store. When I do try them, you're experience sounds about right. Just tough enough and bad-tasting enough that I ignore them for a good while.

When we dine out locally we almost always take a box of leftovers away with us. Last night I had bangers and mash, and took away a container of mashed potatoes that will serve both of us at another meal. You'd think restaurants would want to increase profits by cutting back serving sizes to something normal. I don't get it.
