Yet again alternatively, you can slice the mango in half longways. pulling the halves apart can be a bit tricky, twisting may be necessary to separate the two halves. this, if the mango is ripe, will result in a waterfall of mango juice, so it is best to do this over a sink. one half will wind up with the stone embedded in it which can be removed with a spoon. then, using the spoon, you can scoop out and eat the mango "meat", similar to how one might eat a cantelope. i prefer this method as it helps keep the hands from getting too terribly sticky from the wonderful mango juice.
