You are allignoring the best thing about mangoes. Mango Thokku. Or Mango Pickle. It's a spicy South Indisn Mango Chutney kind of thing that you can buy in any decent Indian grocery shop. I miss it so so much where i am now. Make yourself some yoghurt rice and have a couple of tsblespoons worth of Mango Thokku by the side and then mix to personal taste, and eat it all with yourhands. Off a banana leaf if possible. loving magnificent. Edit: heres what it looks like:

BrainDance posted:Since I have only had them twice because of the previously mentioned throat closing up thing I can't speak definitively, but in that limited experience they're just fine, nothing amazing. One of those fruits that sounds like it should be great though for some ineffable reason. i'm extremely sensitive to urushiol but somehow like 95% of mangoes give me no problems. idk why if its a different regional cultivars thing or what, but perhaps it is also a ripeness thing? really ripe mangoes I've had no problems with and I say this as someone who has had incredibly bad experiences with poison oak and ivy. central american mangoes in particular give me zero problems Herstory Begins Now fucked around with this message at 06:32 on Jun 13, 2023 |

Not really sure why my preferred way to participate in the Greater (South)East Asia Co-Propserity Thread is to let several thousand posts pile up and then binge-skim all of them on a day I'm feeling under the weather, but here we are. I don't think anyone made this at the time, so here's my contribution to the thread.

slice off a flat slice, keep the skin intact as you gently do the cross-hatch and invert a la minute

At first I didn't care for them, like my very first bite because it was not at all what I was expecting. Just had a sort of Christmas tree taste to it. But, I dunno it grew on me. It was ok. I don't think I would seek them out but I might buy them with some other fruit. I just want to try everything. There are so many fruits out there and they're all so wildly different. I don't wanna be on my deathbed and be like "I never tried ackee!" (Which I haven't and I really need to for my try all lychees and lychee like things. But I haven't found a way to get them in China yet.) I've included langsat (I guess?) in my lychee like fruits adventure even though it's only superficially lychee like, and they're pretty good too

BrainDance posted:I guess they're not any kind of pine but goddamn do they taste like it. Maybe off topic for a thread about China but if you want to try a wide variety of fruits you need to get yourself to South America. My last long backpacking trip before I took a job in China and got stuck there for the duration of the pandemic was from Cartagena, Colombia to Lima, Peru over the course of about 3 months, there are so many new and unfamiliar fruits in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru it was mind blowing. Closer to where you're at now, Indonesia is also a great fruit eating destination, especially if you like Durian but my favorite discovery there (and relevant to your superficially lychee-like fruits quest) is salak, or snake-fruit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salak. stereobreadsticks fucked around with this message at 13:55 on Jun 13, 2023 |

I just want to hear how Meatball Ron pronounces "China." Is it like Trumq with "'Gyna!" or is it a more sniveling tone like "Cheen-ah!?: I don't know but I'm eager to learn!

Atopian posted:Re: earlier: mango chutney is great when you're happy. Lime pickle is great when you're angry. lime pickle is great especially to eat by itself with a roti or paratha, but honestly i'm gonna put my vote in for regular old mixed pickle. The chunks of lotus root are rock-hard bullshit, but the mango and especially the carrot are worth the price of admission. I wish they'd take the pits out of the mango instead of chopping it whole & leaving big shards like a Chinese chicken dish, but I suppose that's just part of ~the experience~

I am assured durian fish soup complements surprisingly well, although I have not had the opportunity to try it myself. Bittergourd is a regular feature of these clear fish soups so it's plausible. So potentially durian tonkotsu would work also - not that I have seen ramen served with Japanese bitter melon as such. Maybe a miso soup would be better? ronya fucked around with this message at 05:48 on Jun 15, 2023 |

I kind of like durian as a pizza topping (which kind of makes me think I spent too much time in China), I could see it working with ramen.
