seedhi si baat hai. alfonso production is very limited because demand is very narrow, whereas langdas run most of the season and is grown more widely to meet the larger absolute demands. langdas are more popular you know.😉 when the narrow alfonso season is almost over, and someone must have those last few remaining alfonsos at any cost for pseudo-taste and pseudo-intellectual reasons, they chase the prices up. aur koi baat naheen hai.😛 taste-wise, langdas are better as can be attested by their greater popularity. hope this gets across now😊

Nahi bhai... it can be limited not only because there is no demand.. but because it cant as well meet the demand... kya 101 main funda fit hota hai kya?😉... Langda khanewalon kee taste index average hai so kuch fark nahi padta... now if alphonso is called the King by alll - can that be without reason... remember even Langda taimur is known...😆.. so langda cant blame it on its name...

Langda is not even known...in mumbai so much for its popularity...😆

QWERT There u go with next debate. Mumbai being Capitol of India. Dear you have a way with words 😆.

@ Kesar and Alphanso pulp. Why we never see any Langda Mango Pulp 😕? All brands are just of Hapus or Alphanso to my knowledge 😳

haha, good try, but demand for alfonsos is like fractional the demand for langdas all over india. very few alfansos are either produced or eaten. small relative supply-demand imbalances for them can then send prices off. as for mumbai not eating langdas, well, that wont be the first time mumbai is missing out on all the good stuff. lagta kuch fidrat hee aisee hai😆 just k

An extract from Book DEATH OF VISHNU
by Manil Suri is a math professor at the University of Maryland (Baltimore County)

Vishnu inhales, and the air is sweet with lotus. He thinks his senses are deceiving him, and inhales again. The scent is overpowering, as if thousands of flowers have opened, as if the steps, the walls, the ceiling, are all awash with blossoms. Mixed in with their sweetness is the spiciness of basil, barely detectable at first, but becoming more intense by the second, until that is all he smells, and he thinks that a million tulsi leaves are being rubbed between invisible fingers. And then come wafts of mango, waves that begin to wash over the tulsi, each swelling stronger than the one before, and redolent of all the different varieties that he knows. Vishnu recognizes the wildness of Gola mangoes, the tartness of Langda, the cloying sweetness of Pyree, the perfect refinement of Alphonso. The perfume is so thick and potent that he can feel it press against his face. Except that now it is the earth his nostrils are pressed against, earth that is wet and aromatic, earth that smells sweet and loamy, with the pungency of dung mixed in. Vishnu inhales the new fragrance. It is the scent of the land, the scent of fertility, the scent that has existed since civilization began, and Vishnu marvels at its immutability.
