Yes, the upper left half is "done".

The way I peel them is better than both methods and similar to both. I cut it in half, remove the pit, halve the halves, then, especially if the ripeness is good, you can easily peel the skin off the quarters. And it doesn't waste anything like scooping inevitably does to some degree. If the ripeness isn't right, the quarters are easier to scoop effectively. So, win-win.

    I have never had a problem with waste from scooping but I have the perfect size and shape spoons and I am also usually making guacamole so anything that might get left behind on the first scoop just gets scraped out anyway.

    Thank you for saving me all the typing.

    And no one taught me this. After just trying to cut one once or twice this is super intuitive as the better way to do it.

    Also once sliced try them with some oil and balsamic vinegar drizzled over, and some salt and pepper.

    Np. I wish I could take credit for thinking up this method myself, but a person who is otherwise douchey, taught me haha.

    To clarify, do you mean the balsamic and salt and pepper is for taste (mouth watering as I think about it..) or does it also help with the peeling process?
