mango or papaya

Every time I've bought a papaya it would taste like slightly sweet vomit. Am I picking spoiled fruits or is it just overhyped?

not a fan of mangoes and never had papaya

Por que no los dos?

What's with the lack of papaya-loving people?! It's the bestest fruit!

Easily potatoes.

The answer here is only one truth. Pineapple.....on pizza.

I have never tasted either of them. :D

Of course brains. Any L4D fan knows this.
Lmao

i had a baaaad experiance w. mango while in Africa. not much of a fan since (honestly, not much of a fan before, either)

Papaya is the only one I haven't tried. Looking at pictures, it looks complicated to eat. Brains I have only tried once, and never again. Mango is okay in drinks, but I don't have it that often. Potatoes all the time.

team mango all the way! papaya is an acquired taste

Papoyo

When I can get good mango, I'll enjoy it but it's not often. They are shipped in pretty poor conditions over here.
Papaya can be pretty bland when it's not just ripe. It's very much like melon when it's ripe. Delicious with a little lemon and honey... and rum.
Neither beat a good watermelon though.

In the country I live (Germany) they are making sausages containing pig brains. It didn't help the PISA test results though. We also get a ton of Mangos from Brazil which are unripe and taste awful but if you're patient and leave them alone for a couple of days they get quite tasty.

Papaya. I'm not a big fan of it but I definitely prefer them to mangoes.
I had to google it to make sure it was the same fruit because we give it another name in here, "mamón", but I actually have a couple of papaya plants in my backyard.

I haven't eaten fresh mango or papaya fruit in a while, but I remember both being really good. However, nothing beats a good potato dish, which I can eat every day. As for brains? Not my thing.

Mangoes as always, mangoes now, mangoes forever!

I'll throw my hat in the ring for papaya (although I do love a good mango). I will admit it can be a bit of an acquired taste.

The smaller Hawaiian papayas are the best ones for eating fresh, IMO, but they need to be fully ripe. Most of the time that I see them in the store they are still bright green - they need to be completely yellow and a little soft before they get sweet.

The big melon-sized Mexican (Maradol) papayas, which are really common where I live, taste pretty different from the Hawaiian ones and don't get nearly as sweet. These are better for baking or adding to salads. Or just sprinkled with a little Tajín (which is great on mango, too).

I try to avoid tropical or "modern" fruits (anything that wouldn't be available in medieval Europe or ancient Greece) so for me it's neither. I'd rather have some figs or grapes.

I've never had papaya, and I am allergic to mangos so... potatoes!

Guava, of course!

Mango in chutney mainly (raw mango is alright, every now and then I hype myself into it, but it only ends up satisfactory), potato in basically any shape or form. I think I only ate dried papaya in muesli mixes, it tastes nice like that - I don't know how the raw fruit tastes.

what the hell is a papaya
edit: oh never knew what it's called in english, mango is superior obviously. papaya is good for practicing tho if you know what i mean.

I like pears most of all, but mango okay to me too. Papaya is kinda too sweet.

Passion fruit!
