We have many good mangoes in Queensland, but only a few that are really first-class, and of the latter I have yet to meet the man or woman, who is a fruit-eater, who does not appreciate their exquisite flavour, and who does not consider them worthy to rank with any of the finest fruits.

It is a modified instinct, the instinct for food seeking new sources of supply. Exactly how it came about would be interesting to know.
