The answer to this is pretty simple. I don't know why so many people find it counterintuitive.
Most people will carefully peel the skin and cut the meat of the fruit into bite-size slices.
You're supposed to eat a mango with your face.
Step one:
Find the perfect mango. Ideally, you want one that has come from the tree not long ago. It's flesh must be firm, yet supple, with the slightest amount of give when you squeeze it. Wash it well.
Step Two:
USE YOUR TEETH.
The skin of a mango is surpisingly easy to get rid of. Just use your teeth to rip it off in strips.
Step Three:
Eat the now-naked mango like an apple; hence the use your face reference. Eat it with gusto. The juice of the ripe mango will drip down your chin, run down your neck, and stain your shirt. In the end, you'll be sticky, dirty, and respendently satisfied.
Enjoy!
Ciao

Yum! That sounds so yummy (and messy)! I guess Nebraska's not a good place to find mangos...The ones in my supermarket just look gross!
Here's my how-to: http://simplethings1.wordpress.com/2008/07/10/how-to-create-a-silhouette-t-shirt-from-your-childs-photo/
You sure you didn't grow up in Mozambique?! I could fill a photo album of little kids running around with sticky faces in mango season!
Though I admit to not being converted - I get a rash if my lips touch the skin. Give me mine skinned and cubed in a frosted glass bowl!!
Now I'm getting hungry. Those little bitty mangos on our two mango trees won't be ripe until November . . .
