You guys need a better mango hook-up!
In late spring/early summer we go to the local Indian grocery stores for cases of their Alphonso's, Kesar and Neelam mangoes. Pricey, but sooooo worth it!
Strange that you find them stringy, as I would say the complete opposite - really good Indian mangoes are far from stringy (unlike say, the Hayden mango from Hawaii - which was unreal, BTW - but a totally different mango) but far more creamy (and perfume'y!)
