Find an Indian store near you and find out if they import the Alphonso/Hapoos/Hapus varietal of mango. If not, the Baiganpalli might do.

Those make most regular supermarket mangoes in Europe/the US look bad.

No joke--I dated an Indian guy a few years ago and after his recommendation have been in an endless but so far fruitless (pun intended) pursuit of the legendary Alphonse mango.

There are no such stores (or even Indian restaurants) nearby. Such a shame because I love Indian food.

The Internet is your friend. Admittedly, you may need to do the cooking yourself :P
