First time I ever tried a real mango was when a coworker offered me a half she has already scored into squares. She handed it to me and I asked “How do I eat it?” She said, nonplussed “You just eat it.” “I just take a bite?” “Yeah.”
So I take a bite of this piece of fruit she handed me. As I force myself to chew and swallow this tough, bitter garbage fruit, I tell her “I don’t think it’s for me.” I look at her and apparently she had just been staring at me in open mouthed horror, instead of warning me “Don’t eat the skin!”
It’s not like a banana or a watermelon or something. The only reason people think it’s weird is the texture, but by the time you’re chewing the bite it’s not evident. I wouldn’t lick a kiwi or run my lips on it unless you’re a total weirdo, but I can recommend eating it whole. It adds just a little tart flavor and a little more crunch to the experience (and also you don’t need a spoon anymore).

What the fuck did she expect you to do? She literally told you to just take a bite lol
I have an aunt who eat kiwi fruit like an apple. Just hold it in your hand, and bite. She chews it with and all.
She’s otherwise a normal and kind person.
It’s good this way.
