How to cut a mango

I realize this is a strange blog but several people have asked me how to cut a mango and the only way to explain it is with pics. I learned how to cut a mango like this from another volunteer who spent time in the Philippines. I´ve actually never seen a Honduran cut a mango like this so it´s not very ¨cultural¨ but oh well. Hondurans usually just peel them and suck the fruit off the seed or slice off chunks.

Position the mango so that you can cut two identical slices off of each side. (If you don´t cut it this way, you´ll run into the seed and won´t end up with two big chunks of the fruit.)

Slice off two chunks from both sides.
The section you have left in the middle contains the large flat seed.
Make criss-cross sections with a knife in the two sections of the mango that you cut off the sides.
Turn that piece inside out so the sections of mango pop out. Bite them off the skin and enjoy! To eat the middle part of the mango that contains the seed...peel of the skin and bite off what fruit remains.
