Also absolutely love Advocados and am suprised to find some people cannot stand the taste of them.
Many years before I met her, my wife had purchased a Custard Apple from the Green Grocers, and absolutely hated it, never eating them again till the following happened.
In the mid 1990's I was given a stack of Custard Apple seconds [mild skin blemishes] from an Organic grower whose farm we visited on a Organic Gardening TAFE excursion, and after much persuasion my wife tried a small bit of one of these Custard Apples expecting it to be horrible like the one that she had ytried years before had been. She found this one that I gave her was terrific. See she had given up on Custard Apples because of one off tasting one, but does love Custard Apples now, she has eaten a good one.
I suggest it may be the same with all those poor people who hate the taste of Mangoes, and do not know what they are missing. They may have got one that was not so terrific and so judge all mangoes by that one. Personally I have eaten some very mediocre mangoes and also eaten many very terrific ones.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
