Absolutely. You cut on either side of the seed, so that you have one disc ( the seed) and then two big pieces on either side. Then you cut those into wedges and sort of eat the mango off the peel. This is a horrible description but I don't understand how to explain it lol. This is how it should look. Also cut out the peel from around the seed and suck the part left on the seed.
This is how I've had it for many many years. Occasionally we'll cut it into small pieces without the peel and eat it with a fork.
This does make sense and I'll be honest this is pretty much how my mom prepped it for me when I was a kid. When she grew up (she's Carribean) she would just straight up grab one from the tree outside her house, slice open the top a bit and squeeze the mango almost into chunks inside the peel and would use it like it's own container.
Nowadays I do try to slice it up and remove the peel, but I'll be completely honest I always make a damn mess of it
Haha try it this way, it's not too messy. But it does depend on how juicy the mango is. Do it on the kitchen counter so that you don't make a mess somewhere else. And use a sharp knife I guess.
I can work with this haha
