Introduction/Definition/etc
A tropical fruit,
and how to
for creative writing purposes...
Body
Original Text
Especially Good with sweet coconut rice
but that requires eating out,
cooking, and/or having other tropical
ingredients, a fresh mango
is likely a treat, for Northerners;
The way orange marmalade
is a no no in Local Food
Farmers Markets, so
maybe a guilty pleasure,
for purists, idk
I'm anti-guilt...
Preparation
Need a knife?
not tried without,
but some foodie MacGyvers (sp?)
might be able to, idk...
Messy
Napkin, paper towels,
over the sink, waste basket,
outside, etc...
Like eating a CheeseBurger
dripping with juice,
a mango is also messy,
especially if you do certain
things,
ToothPick Necessary
Many times the fibrous hairs like
require getting them out of your teeth,
not that they would work as floss,
but might help remind you to floss...
Selecting
Mostly ripe, as buying clearance
two for $1.29 or so
3 for $1.99
shrink wrapped in cling film
with a label and price
but not a weight
Turns out the local Aldi has
regular ones for less..
But selecting and waiting
for them to be ripe
needs a trade off with getting
bad, spotted, fermenting
one(s)...
Refrigerate as better cold,
imnsho...
Might even be ok, starting to freeze,
but leaving in too long and trouble cutting...
Shape
An odd shape, think Avocado,
but not as round, teardrop shape?
seed from an apple,
and a big pit/ seed inside,
Stringie unlike peach and avocado
can't really separate it from the pit,
so left slurping/ eating on the
parts left connected to the pit,
if willing to be messy.
Attached about as well as a
clam/ oyster, keeping itself
closed, as it wish(ed)...
More vegan friendly,
plants are/ were alive,
and eating their reproductive
but not as bad as navel oranges
and things that will not produce
anymore like donkeys/mules?
Various other fruits and vegetables
can be used to practice both geometry
3D, and knife skills for those
qualified, (old enough, coordinated enough,
and supervised (sp?), etc)
Potatoes for CookSomeThing2019
SmallFries2020 but no automatic
fry cutting machine available,
that i know of, some automation
likely, just not easily encountered,
like apple peeling machines
rotate, and peeling variable size
instead of knifed form mashing thru
making uniform results, even from
uneven sources, so more waste,
given lots of odds and ends,
seconds, damaged with
ThePracticalitiesOfFoodDistribution2012
BeggarsCantBeChoosers2017
though these are much more likely
store bought
even if discounted
for ripeness and cost
similar to a gleaning for
less waste and savings...
Cover Skin
Skin like surface
check for blemishes and breaks in the
skin, as may be bad, that way...
Colour may vary, green may mean
not ripe yet, but totally another
may be a variety, would have to check
many so far are multi coloured,
and Pink brand name on it,
though not really pink in colour...
Belly Button
where it connected to the tree,
and no leaves or anything around it,
like occasionally would see on an apple...
Cutting Skin Quarters
Along the stem hole bisecting
the flat side
Along the edge, not going too/
very far in as can cut again,
but getting through the skin to peel
with the knife, if necessary,
back from the pointy end,
getting underneath and using
the dryness of the skin
as things get juicy and slippery
especially with over ripe
or bruised mangos...
Bisecting under the peel
Like partial moon slices,
maybe peach sections
cutting more than bisecting skin/peel,
maybe three more sections,
so 12ths of the thing,
depending upon desired size
and starting fruit size,
still in the same way,
and possibly getting underneath some
too, as can cut out from the pit a bit,
but careful not to cut yourself,
much easier than climbing a tree
to get CocoNuts, and then trying to open
them, imnsho...
not as spikey/ sharp a fruit as PineApple,
and there are devices for preparing those,
a form that cores and cuts the outside,
but little variations for size of the original fruit?
more waste possible but ends up standardized
say for fitting in a can/ jar for preserving...
Avocado Like Seed?
So with the pit, can you plant it?
make another plant, starter plant learning/
Avocados you put toothpicks as legs,
maybe Daddy Long Legs like
I don't live in tropics enough so not likely
to work, but something to consider,
a fair amount of waste otherwise,
the skin can be scraped with your teeth
to get a little bit more mango flesh
(i think it's called that)
off of it...

Lenses
Assumptions
Time Limits
Not sure how many days
mangos are good in the fridge,
likely longer than out,
and better cold, imnsho,
especially when warm out/inside...
A seasonal fruit,
so likely a lot of extra shipping
taking place,
like bananas, afaict,
not great for the environment,
but most of what we have locally
gets boring, like apples,
say one per day for years and years,
or eating exclusively Local,
say from a local farmers market,
apples keeping over winter,
but mangos or citrus up from Florida,
South America, split seasons,
might be the way of commerce,
and survival. Not sure about
canned, but seen dried,
like apricots, but not...

might be good on those,
like peaches on pancakes
(with syrup) but usually savory
beans, chili, etc...
FoodBooks2020
not really have them in there,
much, but writing exercise,
might be better, to add,
to my collection of works,
if any good,
polish like an apple?
GrokMango
to consider
WikiPedia
recipes
how to sites
compare after done mine,
especially if edit and polish this
up a bit...
Conclusion
Summary of experience or similar
A lot like a clam and/or oyster,
might be an aphrodisiac (sp?)?
Interactive, messy, therefore fun eating?
stringy like hairs, but not,
and shaped suggestively?
IDK, not really into that...
First seen really outside a bar
in the Adams Morgan/
Columbia Heights / PetWorth area(s),
as a street food,
in a sandwich bag
asked if want salt with that,
and with pit,
started buying and eating at home,
as seasonally going to TBH near there,
not staying for the bar(s),
they drink, i don't want to be around it,
and like the rather healthy nature
of fruit, juicy, thirsty, and
keep thinking on sweet coconut rice like
dessert topping...
Bananas also good,
those one can eat
more on the run,
once peeled,
maybe open/ start the peel at a stop,
this one likely have to stop,
requires? a knife,
maybe prepare ahead,
and bag like the street food method,
adding salt for contrasting pairing
though maybe walking with
like a burger in sleeve like wrapper,
or fries in the little packaging,
or open bottle drinking covering
the label of booze...
Discussion
A place for feedback on the page presented
What ways do you eat mangos?
any reason besides mess and transit
not to?
Ever tried an avocado pit?
Get it to sprout?
Plant it?
Ever produce anything,
or just a starter plant
to see anything grow?
Would it work with mangos?
are they requiring a green/hot house?
Water and huge mango grove mesh
messy swamp like plant/ tree/ grove?
