British People Call Mangoes as Bathroom Fruit

A bathroom fruit?! The British tried to distort the name for mango, the king of fruits. The late Dr. M S Randhawa once wrote that the British did not savour the sight of Indians squatting on the floor and sucking on mangoes, with the juice flowing down their elbows. They often referred it to as the 'bathroom fruit.' And they would ensure that the Indian staff in their houses (during the British Raj) would eat mangoes only in the bathroom. Imagine, mango being called 'bathroom fruit’!
