i've never had mango. is it sweet? is it in season now? how do you cut it?
1Mangos are pretty diverse in the flavor spectrum. They are sweet, but they can be a bit tart and pine-y sometimes. I think theyre in season now...yeah, I would say they are available most places. And to cut them, I take a knife from end to end (kinda what it looks like when you have and almond), but make the incision a bit above the midline, since there is a very solid, oval pit in the center of the fruit.
I LOVE MANGO!

Whops!
3side comment, i've had mango fried rice with chicken at joy yee's noodle shop...one of the best things i've ever had!!
4The mango DRINK I could find- but "chutney"??? is there a substitute for THAT?!??
5Idk if a mango marmalade or preserve would be a good substitute or not...
6Mangos are in season during the summer usually from May unto September. You can substitute a mango jam or marmalade like crispet1 suggested or make your own mango chutney or buy it.
7^^^ Never had a mango LaLaLaurie06??? You definitely need to get to a grocery store stat. You don't know what you're missing!
8ha ha Okay! Okay! I'll go get a mango tonight at the grocery store. One thing, though, do they have a texture like a peach? Because I hate peaches...
9The texture is a little bit like a peach, but a bit more fibrous. but they're great, definitely do give them a try!
10yummy! can i make it with shrimp?
11Sure, I dont see why you couldnt make it with shrimp if you adjust the cooking times accordingly. Let me know how it tastes!
12I think mangos taste similar to peaches.
13I don't think mangoes taste anything like peaches nor would I say the texture is similar. I am from the Islands and I grew up eating them.
14I find a lot of times that the ones in the grocery stores do not have the best flavors. They taste the best when they rippen on the tree. However, they obviously aren't available everywhere in that form. Sometimes they have frozen cubed mangos in the section next to the strawberries, etc.
While I think you actually could do this with peaches with a few substitutions, I don't think the two fruits taste anything alike (nor do they have the same texture). I'm not a huge mango fan, it's sort of hit or miss for me but I do like peaches consistantly.
15Mango....well I dunno about the zucchini part, I'm still a kid that likes to cringe at paprikas and things like that so...but it sure does look tasty....
16lms - i agree, peaches don't taste like mangoes (although like susanec said, you could try a substitution) and the texture is definitely different. however, i think for someone who hasn't tried them before, i'd say they're more like a peach than other common fruits (apples, oranges, pears, bananas, etc.).
17okay! i just had one! it took me awhile to get into it but they aren't bad! are you supposed to eat the skin? it was kind of tough and nasty.
18Oh, I've never eaten the skin, I think of it sort of like a banana peel and not worth eating. Anyone else, have you eaten the skin?
19LaLa: no you definately don't eat the skin. I'm proud that you ran out and tried something new!
20oh okay! whew! i was afraid that if i left the skin i'd be wasting part of the fruit. i stopped eating the skin after two bites. yay for mangoes!
21That sounds interesting and possibly delightful!
