MDMD(6): Mango Transubstantiation

[Terrance]

The Rev.d holds aloft a Mango, as if 'twere a Host." MD85


Mango:  A tropical Asian evergreen tree (Mangifera indica) cultivated
for its edible fruit.  The ovoid fruit of this tree, having a smooth
rind, sweet juicy flesh, and a flat one-seeded stone. It is eaten ripe
or pickled when green. 

Etymology
    Tamil (a South Indian language) man cay "mango
    tree" is a probable source for the fruit's name. The
    genus name Mangifera ("bringer of mango")
    contains Latin ferre "carry, bring" (see also
    asafetida), cf. Lucifer "bringer of light" or
    Christopher "he who carries Christ".
    Hindi amchur (also transcribed aamchoor) means
    the dried spice, whereas aam is used for the ripe
    fruit, as are the other Indian names given above.
    Sanskrit madhuulii refers to the sweet taste (madhu
    "sweet").
