i asked how do you eat a mango, forgot to ask how do you get the stringy bits out of your teeth?

Answer 1

aw, you shoulda read my addendum to my answer on how to eat a mango.

the problem with the stringy bits is that you cant; you can't get them out of your teeth... that's why you don't want them in there in the first place. Cut all the long pieces short, against the grain, before putting in mouth.

good luck!

Answer 2

Cut the mango in half either side of the stone. You have to 'feel' this as you are cutting. Take the two halves and cut the flesh in a criss-cross pattern. You can push the skin side up and you get what people sometimes call a hedgehog. The squares of fruit can be taken out with a teaspoon. The stone will still have some flesh on it. Mum usually sucks this flesh off in private in the kitchen. I said suck, not chew or bite - that's when you get the annoying fibrous bits stuck between your teeth.

Answer 4

The flesh is cut off in slices with a knife and popped straight into mouth (no string in the slices). The stringy stone is then sucked (string stays on the stone). The Brazilians sometimes describe someone's expression as "like the devil sucking a mango" - it means overwhelmed with uncontrollable carnal lust. Get messy. Your mango will be nicer for it.

Answer 5

I slice down either side of the stone and chuck the stone take the piece you have sliced off and then cut diagonally (about a 1cm apart) through the flesh but not through the skin and then again diagonally the other way so make a diamond shape or squares depending on how you look at it, then turn it inside out this will hopefully look a bit like a hedgehog and just slice of the chunks or pull them off which ever, hope this makes sense its hard to describe.

Answer 6

If you eat mango with your fingers, naked, and in the company of a beautiful member of the opposite sex, then you can just pretend those orange bits of string between your teeth are all part of the hippy lifestyle.

Answer 7
