First of all I am THE objective authority about eating mangoes and that is not up for debate thank you very much. As much is my goddamn birthright.

Secondly it depends on the breed of mango.

Now idk what kinds exist everywhere in the world but I do know that theres several legitimate ways to eat the varieties found in India and Pakistan.

If you can ever get your hands on em try one of the Pakistani breeds.

  • Chaunsa (white, sweet and black)- the best stuff imo.
  • Dusehri-great texture.
  • Anwar Ratol- small, sweet, very flavourful. Short shelf life.
  • Sindhri- queen of mangoes.

Theres also badshah pasand which I believe Shah Jahan loved and was pissed his son Aurangzeb was taking some of his. (Mughal Emperors and my ancestors as it so happens)

  • Cutting into slices is acceptable, skin on.
  • Cutting into cups is acceptable for kids (and me)
  • Squishing them when skin on to pulp them and then breaking the little black nipple tk suck out the pulp is acceptable for certain varieties. Anwar Ratol for example.
  • Cutting into skinless squares to be eaten with forks will be allowed so long as you do it with shame.

I thought, "Ha! That's some very funny hyperbole right there!"

Then I read the rest of your comment. I no longer believe that your opening statement was inaccurate in any way.

Lmao I was just joking but I'll still gladly take the title
