How to eat a mango...the Indian way

1. Hold the mango stem side up
2. With both of your hands, slowly knead it until the insides are all liquidy.
3. If the stem doesn't pop out on its own, bite it off, leaving a tiny, tiny hole.
4. Suck the mango juice through the hole--it will get much larger as you go
5. Take out the pit and suck the extra mango meat off of it

This is far less messy (until the pit part), far more fun and, I think, more delicious because you get all the juicy parts. After only one, I'm officially a convert.

The remains: An intact, and deflated, mango peel

Stay tuned: Another post about my first clinic to come...As well as a call for travel suggestions (my boss requested a generally list of days off asap, so I need to start planning!)
