Wot tips would you give to help me peel a mango?
Answers: There are 2 polite ways:
1. Cut the mango in 2 large thick slices from stem end to the other end. Make cuts in the mango and turn inside out. Cut the pieces off forming cubes. Suck the stone.
2. Cut the thin skin off with a serrated knife. Then eat whole.
Of course, if you grew up spending half your youth in a mango tree like I did, then you use the unpolite way which is to just pearce the skin with your fingernail and peel off, bit by bit.
Some Australians say a mango is best eaten in a bathtub because it's so juicy and messy. Source(s):
I grew up with a cubby house in a mango tree. Use a potato peeler Sorry but the potatoe-peeler doesn't work too well when the Mango is very ripe... I use a sharp knife and peel it off as thin as possible. i usually just cut them in half and eat it like a baboon... To really enjoy eating a mango, it must be messy!
There is a huge seed in the middles, so just cut around it at first. Make smaller slices and just eat!
Am an Indian, where nobody eats mangoes with a fork! Ways to eat mangoes :
1. Dig your finger into the skin and peel it length-wise and the skin will come off relatively easy. Then you can bite into the flesh, sucking the fibrous stone towards the end.
2. Peel the skin with a knife. Cut the mango length-wise into three parts. Leaving the stone to be sucked clean, cut th other two pieces into strips or cubes. Put them onto a plate and cover with some crushed ice for a couple of minutes. Then it's ready to be eaten with a fork.
3. Without peeling first, cut the mango length-wise into three parts. Peel the skin of the portion with the stone and can be sucked clean later. As for the other two portions, use a knife to slit into cube pattern, then turn the skin outside in and you will notice the cubes being pushed out. You can then bite into the flesh cleaning out he skin, or use a fork to pick up the cubes.
Enjoy!!! I saw a chef do this once.Cut lengthwise around chop out the huge seed ,score the inside crossways and turn inside out like a hedgehog.
