        I have been having some trouble trying to eat a
        mango without:

        a) Damaging my teeth, gums, tongue etc. on the huge
           stone.

        b) Making a mess (The best mangoes are squidgy and
           fibrous, making them tricky to cut).

        Cutting parallel to the flat sides of the stone
        produces two nice scoopable shells of skin but wastes
        quite a lot of fruit. I have been advised to peel the
        mango; but how do I get the flesh from the stone
        without spurting juice in all directions?

        Mangoes are falling in price and getting better;
        please help me to take advantage of this and enjoy
        what could be described as the 'King of Fruit'!

Regards,
