What is the right way to eat a Mango?

With your mouth. Not sure how others eat them.

The reverse hedgehog.

Remarkably easy to do and looks fancy:

Cut sides of mango like you'd fillet a fish.

Cut a square grid into each mango fillet

Pop it out from the bottom and all the delicious chunks of mango thrust themselves outward ready to be devoured. 👍

Stick a fork into the bottom of the remaining slab of mango containing the seed peel the skin off and you've got yourself a mango pop! Kids love em!

I usually just give up any sense of civility and get my face in there. I have yet to find an efficient way of eating mango that does not result in X-rated mangolingus action with my beard dripping with mango juice.

First of all I am THE objective authority about eating mangoes and that is not up for debate thank you very much. As much is my goddamn birthright.

Secondly it depends on the breed of mango.

Now idk what kinds exist everywhere in the world but I do know that theres several legitimate ways to eat the varieties found in India and Pakistan.

If you can ever get your hands on em try one of the Pakistani breeds.

• Chaunsa (white, sweet and black)- the best stuff imo.
• Dusehri-great texture.
• Anwar Ratol- small, sweet, very flavourful. Short shelf life.
• Sindhri- queen of mangoes.

Theres also badshah pasand which I believe Shah Jahan loved and was pissed his son Aurangzeb was taking some of his. (Mughal Emperors and my ancestors as it so happens)

• Cutting into slices is acceptable, skin on.
• Cutting into cups is acceptable for kids (and me)
• Squishing them when skin on to pulp them and then breaking the little black nipple tk suck out the pulp is acceptable for certain varieties. Anwar Ratol for example.
• Cutting into skinless squares to be eaten with forks will be allowed so long as you do it with shame.

Put it in the fridge for a few hours, then eat it sitting down in a warm shower.

According to my Hispanic fiancé, you must eat it like a savage animal, tearing at its flesh while it's juices drip down your chin.

But you eat it over the sink because we're not barbarians.

I cut it up, then messily eat what is left on the pit, standing over the sink. Then wash my face and prissily eat the cut pieces with chopsticks or a fork.

Peel it, then slice it. I tend to leave a lot of flesh on the seed so i can eat from it.

Peel it and smush it into your face whole. Wear swimmers. Then go for a swim.

Edit: works best with a Kensington Pride. Dunno why you'd choose anything else, really, unless you've already eaten all the Kensington Prides.

Cut either side of the seed, then slice into cube things and invert the skin giving you little squares to suck off

In Guadalupe I learned the manner of consuming mango 'a titi maman' (mother's breasts). You massage the fruit through the skin, then make a small hole in the skin and then suck the liquified flesh through the hole.

This only works with super ripe fruits, like you would be finding on a Carribean island.

It's not the most practical but as mango consuming method relevant to the thread.

Orally.

The superior way is to eat it like corn on the cob. Start at the pointier end and chew straight back to the mangonus. Don’t forget to smother it in butter after shucking the husk.

Slice both long sides into mango filets, then trim the short sides into strips, and finally cut off the few bits of leftover pulp

The traditional way. Peel it and look directly into the camera as you slowly lick the peels.

Over the sink, peeling as you go, possibly also high

Bite a hole in the bottom, squeeze it like an orange and suck out the juice through the hole

With your mouth.

It's the most cultivated fruit in the world. "Is your method superior??" Get outta here. If you're bored and want to see people argue, try reddit.

Step 1) open the garbage can Step 2) put mango into garbage Step 3) eat good fruit

Not at all
