It did put a smile on me when I seen it.

Well no Sunday silvers today :|
but... I did get to cut up some Mangoes
Our very own mangoes from our very own trees this year.
Fleshing the Bowens as they ripen and freezing them to eat in winter when no one else has got any ]

the lighter colored ones are the common mangoes fleshed to make chutney... I let them ripen a little more than usual to see if I can get that mango taste right into the chutney.

But those nice looking ones are all ripe bowens fleshed.... n I got to go through most of the seeds to get the left overs too... yum !
And..... there's still a big box of bowens to go that I'm waiting on to ripen up properly.... gotta sniff out the ripe ones each morning now till the job is done.
And..... each year those trees will just keep getting bigger n bigger with even more fruit on board.
Thankfully I had that green thumb installed as a young un..... but you can get yours at any age (just read up or you tube it on over time) :Y:

Golden Delights there Silver.
Well done.

I ate mango first time in my life in 2017 since then I am hooked. I just hate peeling and cutting. I with there are seedless mango! 40% is that giant flat pip!
I wonder I can grow mango in Victoria just by planting those pips in the soil???? :|

Possibly capa, but you'd need a frost free sunny aspect to grow it in. Maybe start it in a pot in a glasshouse till it's about 1 to 2 metres tall then poke it in the ground. :Y:

They came up huge mate!

Here's how to eat a Mango.
grab a pointy sharp knife and a nice smelling Mango

hold your knife close to the tip like this so it only cuts shallow

cut a shallow circle around both ends (all cuts to be just through the skin)
like this

and this

cut down both sides of the mango (to join the circles on the ends)

peel out the side sections

and it should look like this
you can now hold the two ends while you eat your mango

those ends will keep your fingers dry and clean while you eat around the guts of it

should be looking like this by now

by now it's tasted soo good you don't care about your clean fingers anymore, so you rip the ends off and clean it down to the seed.

and don't neglect to scrape the inside of the skin with your teeth to get to the very last of your mangoes worth.
Happy eating.

Thanks Silver that's a great way to eat a mango, I'll give it a go next time.
