@Beth Loggins: Yeah, I and all those I know who does the technique eats the flesh off the seed. They are not wasteful. What I do is empty one of the “cheek” parts by eating its meat first so there’d be a vessel for the bare bone that will result after munching on the “middle part” next… :-)
Some people even prefer the seed part than the two “cheeks”! Different strokes for different folks, I guess… ;)

and Marketman, love the fruit blogs… :-D

Hmm … I feel that slicing vertically is a bit wasteful because so much of the flesh is left on the seed. I prefer to slice horizontally, using the seed to guide the knife. More dangerous, but less wasteful, unless you like eating a lot of the flesh off the seed.

For you Filipinos transplanted to the East Coast of the US:
The mangoes closest to Guimaras or Cebu mangoes are called “Ataulpo” variety and the best brand I’ve found is “Champagne” out of Mexico. Sometimes you can even find companies branding them as “Manila”. Check the Chinatown or Indian grocery nearest you from May through July, they are sold in small crates containing from 9 to 16 mangoes for about US $10. to $15. depending on size.
