Loved this! Mango is one of my favorite fruits, but I always end up making quite a mess when I try to peel it. I'm definitely going to try this method next time I eat one!
and....it should smell more like a mango and less like turpentine (one mango smells and tastes like it). There is a chemical in the skin and sap that is similar to the one in poison ivy, so many people are allergic to it and/ or get contact dermatitis
Just be sure either your knife is dull enough not to go through peel, or you use a plate to support it, not your hand! I just cut up about 10 mangoes like this, ready for the cobbler...
