I squeeze fruit and vegs to see how long they were laying in the stall. You can tell that they were laying a bit long if they feel squishy. Of course, with softer fruit it takes me some time to find out if they are suposed to be squishy…
…or sometimes they just do explode into bunch of scorpions. So aim away from face, just in case.
Watermelons ALWAYS have it coming, just so you know. Mangoes on the other hand are usually pretty easy to get along with, and don’t mind an occasional squeeze. A pinch, however, will get YOU slapped.
And they rarely are filled with scorpions. Unless, of course, you’re referring to the band SCORPIONS. If you know just where to place the antenna, mangoes can usually pick up radio stations playing Scorpion hits like “Rock you like a Hurricane” or “Don’t stop at the Top”….little known fact, but true story!
Ayuh, antenna placement is critical. Squeeze to change the song. If you do and scorpions actually come out, the song automatically changes to ‘Send me an angel’
If it’s too soft, it’s too ripe and will go bad before you get a chance to eat it. If it’s too hard, it’s not ripe enough and you’ll die of old age before you get a chance to eat it. If it has scorpions, I guess fry them up and eat them with whatever pieces of fruit are left?
It took me over 20 tries to pronounce the village name.
You can hear it at http://forvo.com/user/frijolito/
Took me only one try. At least, I THINK I’m pronouncing it properly…
I have BEEN to Chichicastenango. Nice little place, not very exciting, tho.
I slap watermelons to tell if they’re ripe. Also those watermelons had in coming.
Are you saying the watermalons were asking to get slapped?
They know what they did.

You have to shake your mangos.
That’s how you tell if you’re getting the freshest scorpions.
lol. That’s sound like something different, now that I’m reading it from out here.
Squeeze? I was taught to do the stem push and sniff tests.
The first determines what utensil you need to eat it; axe, saw, knife, spoon or catapult.
The second helps determine level of flavor; crunchy green, tangy yellow, custard orange or bad banana black.
I thought mangoes came from Papaya New Guinea.
Nah, they come from the apple-accian mountains.
I love watching the not a zombie migrant workers harvesting fruit.

You can’t have-a the Mango!
Oh good lord! I’d forgotten all about that SNL skit. I only wish it could have STAYED forgotten!
