return to RECIPE CORNER: FIRE MANGOS

return to RECIPE CORNER: FIRE MANGOS
This is a great snack and can be very sloppy.  So many great things are.  Get a good mango - not a crappy one, that’s your first mistake right there.  Good mangos have a stamp that says “good” on the pit, so you can tell.  Peel it with a veggie peeler and cut it with a knife into easy bite-size pieces (actual bites may vary).  Put the naked glistening chunks of orange flesh (told you this was a good recipe) into a baggie and add some lemon juice and cayenne - all to taste, I like about 1/4 t of cayenne I guess but I never measure it.  If you can see it really easily once it’s all mixed in, you probably put in too much.  (Heh.) Lemon juice used to come from lemons but now I know that it’s really from limes - this stuff makes it fun to pucker - eat yer mangos they make you strong
