a papaya and a mango....now what? :eek:





hehehe any good ideas?

[konmai]

slice them up and munch as-is! DELICIOUS! :D

[cassidy]

eat em! mmmm... two of my favorites!
if you don't want to eat them by themselves chop them up into cubes and throw in some avocado cubes and have as a salad!

And after eating take the peel with you into the shower and rub all over ya...and then rinse...your skin will be soooo smoooth!

Oh yum!!!!...I live in So. CA so those are available for us year round and I love 'em.....

Papayas , slice in half (I throw the seeds away, some people I hear dehydrate them and then grind them and use as pepper)....slice into bite size pieces...now I eat the skin....I also put pieces into the blender and make a great smoothie...I don't usually add anything but you could....like strawberries, bananas, ...anything...

Mangos...double yum!!!!...kinda messy ...I also eat the skin...then you get down to the pit...and that's where the messy comes in...you hold on to it and get all the wonderful fruit off the pit, covering your hands and face with juice...in Mexico you can buy them off a cart with a stick stuck straight through it...I've tried doing the same with a fork but the ol' hold 'em and get messy works the best for mangos...

Enjoy...they're great!...Elaine

When the mango gives slightly to the touch and you can smell it through the skin....peel and eat.

As far as papayas go, I like them best in smoothies or blended with a banana into a pudding.
