We bought this huge mango at our local supermarket not to long ago. The sticker said it was from Nicaragua, and cost $1.25. Mangoes are just so expensive in the US. In Trinidad I can get 3-4 mangoes for the same $1.25. Next to the mango is a grapefruit and a regular size can of lentils.
Not very many people know this, but a green mango cut into pieces, served cold with salt, black pepper, lime, lemon, pepper sauce (if you have it), chopped jalapeño and diced garlic all mixed together makes for a super snack!
Trini-wife insists on eating the mango ripe, because its sweeter. Trini's know where its at though, nothing beats a green mango chow, 'cept perhaps a green plum chow!

I'd have to a agree with Trini on this one. To this day my folks will go out of their way to find small green mangoes. Oh, hey, I'll post a green mango sherbet recipe.
