A bigger mistake would be mangoes. It is cruel to make something so good
and make them so hard to eat efficiently.

We had good luck with a mango this week. My wife had picked up up at the
grocery. It was still completely green but had a nice feel. I slice two
sides off, cut a criss cross patter almost to the skin, flipped it
inside out and scrapped off the fruit. Then I peeled the skin from the
part that was left and slice off the rest of it.

I think it was the best mango I have ever had. I used it to make a
Thai style mango chicken salad. I minced a chicken breast and sauteed
it with about 1/2 cup of finely chopped red onion and a mince clove of
garlic. The chopped mango went into a bowl with a diced red pepper and
some chopped fresh mint and basil and dressed it with a couple
tablesppons of lime juice and a couple teaspoons of reduced sodium soy
sauce. When the chicken was cooled it was added to the mango and red
pepper and then served on a bed of leaf lettuce.
