July 7- World Mango Day

[Panchi]

So, on the occassion of World Mango Day, share your experiences with the king of fruits, mango.

[Niniel]

There is a World Mango Day?! Then I guess I need to buy one later.

 

I´m not sure I have a mango experience that I can tell you about...

[Ithillian Turambar]

You have one that you can't tell us about?

[Niniel]

[Sakaea]

I'm allergic to mangoes. So the only experience I have would be an allergic reaction.

[Guest]

I have never actually eaten a mango. I would like to though - they sound good (and hopefully I am not allergic).

[Nyanna al'Meara]

Mangoes. NOM!!

 

Only thing I don't like is teh stone in the middle...makes it so hard to get all the fruit off and I've slipped the knife often on it and cut myself

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

mangoes are very yummy and deserve their own day. a friend from puerto Rico showed me how they eat them without cutting them up, just tearing open a bit and kind of... um... vampiring them... it's effective but not acceptable public behavior... this reminds me of a line about a ripe mango from a movie you haven't seen... moving on....

 

while I don't approve of mixed drinks.... mangoes and rum work very well.

 

also good chutney base I think.

 

and like papaya, a good meat tenderizing marinade, ESP good w pork.

 

that is all.

Mangos are mango-y.

[Sakaea]

I like the taste of mangoes, and I didn't used to be allergic to them. But the last time I ate one it made me very itchy and ill.

[charis sedai]

well, look at that! I had a mango drink tonight, and I didn't even know! Mangoes are delish!

[Panchi]

A mango memory I don't tell anyone... well, there isn't one.

 

I know those mangoes where you vampire them. They are a different kind, usually.

 

In my house, we have three mango trees. And, even though I don't like mangoes, those mangoes are delicious. The problem, our unpaid customers, monkeys, ate them before they ripen. We even make things from raw mangoes. What monkeys leave us, that is.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

any mango may be presquished and vampired in a pinch.

 

I'd shoot the monkeys. or dress them up and train the to fling things at interlopers and play wee little instruments for coins.

 

lord I hate autocorrect. it was not made for such as me.

[Guest]

What is this about "vampiring" mangoes? Is it you can suck the juice out of them or?

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

What is this about "vampiring" mangoes? Is it you can suck the juice out of them or?

 

yes... but I'm curious as to what the or may be...

 

they can be bashed up to pulp without skinning them, slit open a bit and their juicy goodness nommed out of them indecorously.

 

can they also provide immortality?

 

I haven't heard this.

[Niel an' Tyomn]

CHUTNEY!!!!!!!!

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

and jelly.

[RandA lThor]

well, look at that! I had a mango drink tonight, and I didn't even know! Mangoes are delish!

[Basel Gill]

All I can think of is a Seinfeld episode with mangoes.
