Hi Bob-
There are 27 varieties of mangoes, and divided into two main types. String mangoes are small and FULL of the filaments that hold the meat in, and you get mostly juice from them (sugar sweet) and TONS of the strings in your teeth that take days to get rid of.
Table mangoes are a larger variety, like Lucy or East Indian, where the strings are very soft, and you don't get the stuck. With these you can cut them up and eat them like a peach or something.
We like both, and try to get a bunch of varieties while we're there.
