Meaning
A mango full of stringy fibres — the kind you suck rather than slice, working the sweet juice and flesh off the seed and getting the strings caught in your teeth. The stringy mango is usually the common wild seedling type, as against the smooth, fibreless flesh of choice varieties like the Julie. Messy and much-loved, sucking a stringy mango down to the bare 'hairy' seed is one of the sticky pleasures of mango season.
