holy cow! thats huge! I have never really liked Mango... maybe cause I don't have any really good recipes for them... but they tasted just bland to me... Maybe I bought them to green or something.

wow that's a big mango !

I would know what to do with that big boy. Peel and slice it up. Mix up a dipping sauce of of a little bit of soy sauce, vinegar, salt and pepper and chow down.

I read about that in the paper today. It's sure a beaut. Imagine an avacado that size!
The only way I've tasted mango is in Dole canned Triopical Fruit Salad...love that stuff! There was a special on mangos at the market the other day, but I don't know how to pick one out. What do you look for?

To pick a mango, look for an unblemished yellow skin blushed with red

It looks delicious! We have a couple mango plants but the fruit is only 1# to 1 1/2#. Our property never gets as warm as it should for the mangoes to ripen properly. They are good anyways!!!

Michael Chiarello has a mango dessert I would really like to try. It sounded so good. I will post it and see what you think. I think I would like a mango salsa, also.

That recipe sounds great - I LOVE mangoes. Mangoes are hard to find in my neck of the woods. I would be in heaven if I had a 5 lb mango - wow!
