Hi, I bought 3 mangoes for £1 but I only know that you can eat them in fruit salads. What else can I do with them?

mkae mango chutney...yummm

Rhubarb · 25/08/2007 16:59

juggle them

nightshade · 25/08/2007 17:02

nice if you skin and slice them, roast them in the oven with a little sugar and cinnamon and serve with a drop of cream or marscapone cheese.

Smoothies....yummm

fedda · 25/08/2007 17:07

Thank you, nightshade and thievingmagpie. Sorry, I don't like jokes, Rhubarb when I'm asking for advice, do you?

Depends if you have a sense of humour or not!

Sorry if you don't.

bcsnowpea · 25/08/2007 18:23

Simmer them with 1 tbsp maple syrup, 1tbsp brandy, then serve with ice cream. Sooooo good.

That's you told, Rhub. Go stand in the corner, facing the wall!

Roseylea · 25/08/2007 18:27

Just eat them! They are delicious! Or you cuold always make mango sorbet, works v. well and fabbo on a warm day.

But really - au naturel is best. I spent a few months in the Philippines during the mango harvesting time and I ate thousands. I'll never firget camping, sleeping in a hammock under a mango tree [wistful sigh...]

unknownrebelbang · 25/08/2007 18:48

But but...you CAN juggle with mangoes.

FrannyandZooey · 25/08/2007 18:57

OMG just EAT them

blimey Rhubarb you got your wrists slapped didn't you? Didn't you know better than to joke about something so very serious and delicate as MANGOES

She's not allowed to talk to you Franny. She's still in the corner. Where she will stay until she learns to not be flippant on Very Important Threads.

Lullabyloo · 25/08/2007 19:00

have them with passion fruit squeezed over...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

MyTwopenceworth · 25/08/2007 19:02

Although I suspect she now has another suggestion as to what the OP may do with her mangoes.

FrannyandZooey · 25/08/2007 19:02

Actually can I state right now that I DO like people making jokes when I am asking for advice. As long as they are friendly jokes and not at my expense. Which I don't think this was.

I had a lovely mango this morning. Where are they 3 for £1?

I am learning lots of interesting things about mangoes.

So fedda, what did you do with the mangoes?

chopster · 28/08/2007 09:13

make fruity caramel sauce for over cheesecake or icecream.

I make soup with alphonso mangos, sort of sweet and sour thingy, it's rather tasty.

bran · 28/08/2007 09:34

I was going to post my all-time favourite, very easy mango recipie, but now I'm tempted just to tell a joke instead.

Q. What is a feminist's favourite non-phallic fruit?
A. Mango

unknownrebelbang · 28/08/2007 16:59

lol

fedda · 28/08/2007 17:08

I was too busy reading all your jokes so at the end I just decided to eat them one a day. i wish i had some good recipes though. I didn't know that it would make you all laugh. I even though of changing my name because probably whateve I ask now will receive the same reception and if I don't like it you'll just say that I don't have a sence of humour. I don't recall anyone else having such responce with jokes instead of the answer. okay, you can start laughing. It's soooooo funny, isn't it?

I love eating mangoes in the bath, just chomping the flesh straight off the skin, and letting the juice dribble down my face, and neck, and .... TMI I think!

Doing anything to them would be sacrilege.

fedda · 28/08/2007 17:10

Yes, whatever...
