Ahh, MANGOS!!! All this talk about mangos makes me really home sick (I am from India). Here are some suggestions for how to eat them. Anyone eating mangos should accept the fact that they will have to dirty their hands (without it there is no joy). Also do not try to peel the skin. Wash the mango thoroughly. You can cut the two flat sides as close to the seed as possible. After that you can cut two thin stripes on two sides of seed, cutting as close to the seed as possible. This will leave with very little stuff on the seed. The only way to get at it is to suck the seed. (You must try this at least once!). Another way to eat very ripe mangoes is to soften them by slowly turning them and at the same time squeezing the skin. When the mango is pulpy, open it at the top and suck it like an egg. This is best for ripe mangos. By the way, does anyone know where to buy cheap mangos in Austin, Texas? Atul Arya Dept. of Petroleum Engg.
