    Think it might be a mango??????

    Take the seeds out, slice it in a cris- cross pattern and then turn inside out and use a knife to slice it off in cubes and eat it.

    No, it's not a mango, I think it's a PawPaw/Papaya.

    Bin the seeds and eat the flesh.
    I'll have a google to check which one.

    doesn't a mango have one large seed? Is it a sort of melon? Is it even a fruit?

    hmmm, the first pic looks like a mango
    but the second one has seeds showing, so it's not a mango, they have one big stone inside

    I don't know what it is :confused: but I'm sure there'll be someone along soon who'll recognise it

    Absolutely 100% papaya, nice in a tropical trifle made with a wee bit of rum instead of sherry and some toasted coconut on top insrtead of almonds

    I agree. It looks like a huge papaya. I don't like them. But if you do, just chop and add to a fruit salad.
    May all your dots fall silently to the ground.
