      And there's a rant that in the mango-producing countries of the world (like our neighbor to the south, Mexico) everyone looks down on the Tommy Atkins, the one mango variety we Americans see all over the supermarket (The big teardrop-shaped green-and-red one)

      Tommy Atkins, the person, repeatedly submitted his eponymous mango variety for judging to the Florida Mango Forum only to have it rejected because they thought it was too low-quality to consider But his faith in his bad mango was ultimately rewarded with great commercial success

      (Professional mango critics consider the Tommy Atkins to be particularly flavorless and fibrous for a mango and therefore highly undesirable But this is exactly why it survives long-distance transport and long-term storage better than any other mango variety)

      I need to find a thread I saw from a food scientist who worked on developing blueberries for market. She noted that the blueberry selected for purchase was always always always the one that looked best (large, plump and juicy) and never ever ever the ones that tasted best.

      My favorite apple variety of all time is the Northern Spy and I'm really mad at how it's almost impossible to buy it if you're outside the Northeast

      Also the character Senator Claghorn (on whom the cartoon Foghorn Leghorn was based) who was this ultimate stereotype of an asshole Southern politician has this scene in a movie where he sees a display of "Northern Spy" apples and freaks out It's the funniest fucking thing

      random aside, i once read this soft-focus profile of the durian king of southeast asia, and it turns out the secret to his success was a) marketing to china and b) stealing durian varietals from old ladies

      Red Delicious was A+ in its original incarnation. Then folks kept grafting from bud sports (=sometimes a tree throws a branch that's a little different, it's normal) w darker & darker fruit. Selected for color instead of quality. 100+ yrs later we now have purple foamballs. https://twitter.com/kaichoyce/status/1055944025121771520 …

      (9/) Anyway, it seems like every other thinkpiece about ~food these days~ has obligatory remarks on how The Scientists Are Breeding Crops For Durability Instead of Flavor. lmao fuck that, we keep TRYING to breed for flavor & getting sabotaged by y'all on the taste panels

      Lol yeah I remember this It's like how fish sticks were invented, people kept marking the "control group" highest in taste testshttps://twitter.com/SarahTaber_bww/status/1056023954194862080?s=19 …

      (7/) But when we actually did the flavor testing? Let civilians eat our new berry crosses? They LOOOVED the most watery, insipid, shitty berries. Kept giving them top marks, and our favorite big-flavor berries always wound up in the middle.
