    I dice mango, pineapple and mandarin and toss through chilled cooked rice. Drizzle with any of the fruit juice that leaks out when diceing and serve as a sort of Eice Fiesta Salad alongside green leaves and grilled salmon steaks. HTH

    Oh I couldn't use it for anything - I'd just have to EAT IT! :drool:

    I'm living in Mango country here!! (sunshine coast, Queensland, Australia)

    Eat it sprinkled with lime juice
    Mix it in a nice natural yoghurt cubed
    Whizz it up with a lil milk, yoghurt and sugar to make mango lassi
    Have it with some ice cream
    Chop it finely with red onion and a little chilli for mango salsa
    Dry it in a dehydrator to a rubbery stage for a tasty snack
    Once peeled freeze it so you can use it in smoothies later
    cook it with a little sugar to make a nice pancake filling
    Once cooked with sugar whizz it up for ice cream sauce or cheesecake topping

    Can you tell I love them and they are sooo cheap here in season!!

  • Make a smoothie - use up any bananas, kiwi fruit, strawberries or raspberries ( fresh or frozen). if you can get a pineapple all the better. I always keep a mango in the fruit basket as smoothies are a great way to use up old fruit and get your 5 a day.

    Put all the peeled friut in a liquidiser and whirr. You may need some fruit juice - apple is good to get it going.
    The Universe will provide - all you have to do is trust.

    And give it a nudge in the right direction occasionally :o

    I chop mine into chunks if they are getting too ripe and freeze them. I can then add them to smoothies as and when I fancy them.

    I've used it in place of some of the carrot in a carrot cake recipie to make Carrot and Mango cake. It was very very nice!
  • My dd loves mango chopped up with chicken and pasta and sour cream. She loves mango and has it in a wrap with chicken too.
    You are only as old as the man you feel ;):p
  • How about dicing it and adding it a curry - a friend made me a curry once with mango in it and it was delish! She's vegetarian so it was a veggie curry, but I'm guessing that it would be nice added to a chicken version too.
