I always end up throwing a lot of it away because I get fed up. It seems so hard to get all the fruit out. Do you peel it first or just cut into it or what??? And a papaya for that matter??? Does anyone else have these problems???

To remove the flesh from a mango, cut through the mango parallel to the seed, that is, on the flat side. Use the knife to skim the surface of the seed, cutting over it. Repeat on the other side; you should then have 2 slightly concave halves of mango. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the flesh down to the skin but not through the skin, making strips in one direction and across, making cubes of mango. Turn the mango inside out, forcing the flesh upwards to look like a blunt porcupine. Slice the cubes of mango away from the skin. If you don't want cubed mango, remove the flesh from the seed in the same way, but peel the mango. Then cut the flesh into strips or slices.

I don't really like mango but you can cut it like an avocado or like the way I cut papaya. I cut it in half stem to blossom end (vertically) and then take a spoon and run it along the skin until all the flesh is separate from the skin. If it is ripe it works just fine. Melons are too hard to do this to.
