I don`t know what variety they are, but I found this with a quick google search..

BTW, I chose the pic 'cause this is exactly how they look out the box, all shrivelled and blinged up. I sometimes wonder who long they spend in storage before making their way to shop shelves..
Anyways, I have spent most afternoon researching mangoes online and realise that the same varieties are grown in both countries. Its just that certain varieties get imported from the respective countries and the ones coming from India to the UK, albeit pricey, certainly appear to have an edge on flavour and quality. I am certain that the Kesar/Alphonso from Pakistan in no better or worse than the ones from India but importing cheaper varities probably makes better financial sense as Asians here only buy mangoes for a 'taste of home' and do not possess nuanced palates to distinguish various mango flavours and are therefore likely to opt for the cheaper option available.
However there appears to be broad consensus that Filipino mangoes are the best in the world so can we go back to discussing who has got the bigger d**k please?
i didnt even know philipines produces mangoes lol
