When the time comes to crown the world's greatest fruit, it will be hard to argue against the mango. It's got it all — a slippery, juicy lustiness; intriguing, inspiring aromas of everything good and tropical; candy like sweetness and enough balancing tartness to remind you that it's still a real fruit, not a cavity borer designed in a lab. Lets figure how to cut a mango ? It heart-breaking to see good people do wrong by their mango, struggling with a peeler that can't cut through the thick skin, mashing up the fruit underneath or trying to cut through the thick, flat pit and giving up.
