It’s that time of year again!
We have just carved up a 1.2Â kg mango. A mango that big offers a number of carving possibilities. I am not a fan of the hedgehog technique. I find it stickier than necessary and mango fibres get stuck between teeth. Instead, I like to carve out mango steaks, which can be tackled with a knife and fork.
For those who are interested, a 1.2Â kg mango can easily be carved into three steaks to feed a family.
I have been told that in Japan, a mango might cost $80. In Melbourne in this season, the going price is $2-4 per kg. To those in the cold of the United Kingdom and the United States, I will eat an extra mango for you.
