Halve the mangoes by cutting just to the sides of each pit and, using a 3/4-inch melonball cutter, scoop the flesh from the mango halves. (There should be about 2 cups.) To the lobster meat add the mango balls, the celery, the whole endives, trimmed and sliced thin crosswise, the minced
chives, and the sauce and toss the mixture until it is combined. Divide the lobster mixture among 12 chilled small glasses an garnish each serving with 1 of the endive leaves and 2 of the whole chives.
