Mangoes

That's almost too pretty to eat, Marguerite, but the fruit does look delicious.

I can tell you, they really tasted wonderful, sweet and juicy.

I love mango but have never mastered the art of preparing them to eat. I make such a mess.

Why are you tantalising us like this? I would like to eat them now!

Hi Ams, perhaps you have never had a ripe one! A ripe mango is easy, you just give a cut into the skin, peel it off just like that, then cut slices off the fruit till you hit the seed, suck the flesh off the seed, yummy.
Alternatively you can cut the fruit in half, but around the seed in the middle, then fold the fruit inside out, cut a pattern in it, diagonally and across and eat the fruit away from the peel. I do agree, you do get sticky hands, but it is fingerlicking good, lol.
Sorry Celandine for tantalising you.... I just thought it was such a bright coloured picture and the frangi panies matched so well with the fruit.

Mouth watering photo Marquerite!!

Thank you Marguerite, I will post a photo of the results. Dont forget tropical fruit is much older by the time it reaches us in Blighty.

Wow Marguerite, what beautiful mangoes, I love eating them and always buy them, lucky you!

Brilliant coloursl!! This composition has an almost oriental artistry - and the "neglected" fruit seems so good too.

Delicioso photo :)

I would love to try these mangoes, they look different from the two varieties they sell here in my area.

Looks delicious! My stepdaughter adores frangipani flowers, from her time living in Sydney, I would love to grow some in southern England for her, do you suppose they would survive here? (Even if I could find plants/seeds.)

Wow they look lovely
