My Inability to Identify and Buy a Mango

The saga of my mango search continues. If you read one of my previous blog posts, you would know that I started this quest about a week ago, knowing that mangos are in season in Taiwan. I went to a fresh fruit market and came back with a papaya instead (you can see a picture below).

Yesterday I decided to give it another shot. This time I had to come back with a mango, right? Wrong. I went to the fresh fruit market and looked around a little more this time. Finally I came across a bin of fruit that I was convinced were mangos. I picked one up and sniffed it: sure spelled like mango. Bought three and hopped back on my scooter to bring my "mangos" home.

As soon as I got home, I youtubed how to cut up a mango and sure enough, the fruit the man was holding in the video looked vastly different from the one I had picked up. An impostor fruit again! I cut it up anyway and just had some for breakfast (SORT of tastes like a mango, but not the texture), but was still curious as to what I had come home with.

After 30 minutes of google searching phrases like "exotic fruits inex" and "things that taste like a mango but aren't," I still have no idea what it is. If google doesn't know what it is, does anyone??? I picked up some crazy Taiwanese fruit I think...
