My thread on Armstrong and mangoes in the clinic was quashed by the anti Mango mafia. Quite clearly it is the greatest fruit of them all, and I fully expect a top pro to one day come out and say he dedicates his success to an all Mango diet.

Funnily enough when I was at Fly V Australia's training camp in January Phil Zajicek bought an entire box of mangos from a road-side store out the back of the Gold Coast.

what is the point of this thread? if it was an attempt at some form of humor it has badly failed.

typical anti-mango banter.
the mango is the most popular fruit in the world.
we must be more tolerant.
the mango is the apple for the masses.
it is the fruit of the people.
mango power. right on

While I agree the mango is the best fruit ever (especially with a bit of lime and red chili flakes) it is a real pain to eat while on the bike. Bananas for the ride thank you - and I'll start a thread to that effect if the banana smashers put it down here.

apples and oranges and bananas for me.:) heck, this is orange county.

orange county grows neither apples or bananas. the only spot in the US that grows bananas is a small farm near Santa Barbara. And it does not get cold enough in OC for apples. your nationalist prejudice does nothing to elevate the mango to its proper status.:D

What's wrong with mangoes? It's one of my favorite fruits and I just love blending it with strawberries for my smoothie.
