Any time I have to pay $1. Dollar for a mango here in US I think about when in Santiago at this time of the year there it was so many mangos in my backyard that I have to give away tens of them every single day.

Yes, but there are many sorts of mangos.
And the OP is right.

Actually Mangifera indica (Mango) and Carica papaya (Papaya) are not that closely related. A Mango has a large single seed, while the Papaya has many medium sized seeds in the center. Both have distinctly different flavours.

Perhaps one of our resident linguists can officially translate lechoza, I am quite sure it refers to papaya, and not Mango???

Lechoza vs. Lechoso...First one is Papaya, second one is an adjective describing something milky (such as a type of Mango). You guys are confusing the two because how closely related the spelling is, but they're NOT spelled or pronounced the same. The OP is right there are Mangos called Lechosos.

Thank you Suarezn. I don't want to confuse anyone.
It is just the description or type (lechosos)
They are not papayas...They are mangos.....;)

Santiago: Why did you have to do that? Now I'm here in "beautiful" Reynosa, Mexico salivating while I wait for hurricane Alex to beat the crap out of us. Mangos straight from the trees are some of my favorite fruits and I can see so many "pintos" hanging from branches I just want to climb up there and eat so many of them they have to get me down with a forklift...

No need to pick the MANGOS.

It was constantly raining mangos while we were sitting in the yard sipping a Naturally Sweet Mango Cocktail.

One could watch them fall and some were so ripe that they squished onto the ground.
(Instant Mango Juice). ;) lol

Hmmm, Hmmm, Good!

Lucille kept reminding us to "Watch our heads".

Don sorry I missed you. Lucy didn't tell me you and her were waiting on me.
When I told Lucy I was coming over I never mentioned a time.
WHAT GLORIOUS MANGOS.....You were right, I almost got clocked in the head by one of those beauties. I have never seen a Mango tree that big, and even after we were done picking it seemed like the tree had more than when we first got there.
They are so juicy my fingers were sticking together like glue. Well, time to start eating those beauties. I wonder how they taste mixed in a blender with some ice....
