Re: very embarassing question
i think it has a pit...Dont eat the skin, its tough...You can cut it however you like, you can always halve it then do the 'avocado' method to get it out...

Re: very embarassing question
i googled it for you:
Sweet, juicy mangoes, with a large pit and inedible skin, can be difficult to eat, but there are several methods for cutting them.
To eat from the skin:
Slice about 1/2-inch from the top and bottom of an unpeeled mango, then stand it up. A little bit of the pit will be exposed. Slice from top to bottom, parallel the pit and as close to it as possible. You will now have one large mango slice, with the skin still on. Turn the mango over and cut off the other side, close to the pit. Holding a mango half in your hand, skin side down, use a paring knife to make a crosshatched grid of slices. Be careful not to cut all the way through the mango's skin. Turn the fruit section inside out and eat the mango cubes straight from the skin. Peel the remaining band of flesh from the pit, and eat it right off the pit, or slice it off.
To eat in a civilized fashion:
Using a vegetable peeler or pairing knife, peel the mango. Slice about 1/2-inch from the top and bottom, then stand it up. A little bit of the pit will be exposed. Slice from top to bottom, parallel the pit and as close to it as possible. Repeat on the other side. Place a mango half flat on a cutting board. Hold a chef's knife parallel to the cutting board and slice the mango into about three planks, each about 1/2-inch thick. Holding a chef's knife perpendicular to the cutting board, slice the stacked mango planks lengthwise into 1/2-inch strips. Rotate the stacked mango strips 90 degrees and slice them into 1/2-inch cubes. Serve the mango cubes in a bowl, sprinkled with lime juice or add them to a tropical fruit salad.

Re: very embarassing question
It has a pit in the middle. Ive never ate the skin but its common to scrap the skin on your teeth, the fruit is very sweet thats on the skin. Make sure you brush your teeth good after eating it, I have heard they are not great for your teeth. It's a little stringy so it can get caught between your teeth
and here i was thinking that you guys were gonna make fun of me
