With Carrie mangoes, I've found that there's about a 5-day window in which they taste fantastic, and either before or after this they taste very turpentine-ish and icky. As far as I can tell, they're perfect when the fruit just starts to have a little bit of give when you press it - too hard or too soft, and you're back to the odd taste.
