Like this, probably like you have been doing, http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/how_to_cut_a_mango/

Then just grab the pip & suck hell out of it then wash your hands, and face, and lap, and floor.

Cheers Neil

You phillistines.................  you don't know what's good for you, Mango in any which way or form are delicious.

Maybe it's got something to do with them being readily available up there and scarce as hen's teeth down here and when you can get them they cost an arm and a leg....................how much is freight do you suppose...........anyone got a tree........

Slightly OT,

If you want to grow a Mango Tree from the seed, get some loose compost in a pot lightly covered in leaf litter, leave some of the "meat" on the seed when you eat the mango and lay it on it's side just under the surface of the top of the soil/compost/leaf litter so it can't be seen and water like you would any other plant, can't remember now how long it take to shoot, but it worked for me.

Don't dry the mango seed out, just straight from the mango.  In the wild they grow from ripe mango's falling off the tree into leaf litter below.

That would be great Vic, if only they would grow on the South Coast NSW but I don't think it gets hot enough or something, maybe not enough humidity

Tasty viddles though, any way they come.

My sentiments too Beth although I'm not a QLD'er that's how I like to eat them too

Or make mango ice cream! Yummo!

I don't care, nor do I stand on ceremony. Just slurp until there's nothing left.
The only ones I have trouble eating are the turpentine (common) mango, the original mango to which all the other stock is grafted.
The Peach or Kensington Pride or Bowen, the Calypso or Fruit Salad, lemon, R2E3 is a huge mango the size of a small rock melon.
There's strawberry, banana and about 20 other species of mango. Most can be tasted at least once at the Broome Mango Festival in November when the first ones ripen.
They also grow mango trees as street trees. A huge tree with a massive root system and shade canopy.
In Qld I see they prune them radically to allow easy picking.
In the west they leave the trees huge so the bats can have the top fruit and leave the lower fruit for the pickers.
Just lurv mango. Currently $1.20 ea at a fruit market at Salisbury, SA.
