Default Question for Mango Lovers

My local supermarket is beginning to adopt everyday low pricing, which I
LOVE! for a lot of reasons. We still have the dreaded card, but some things
are just everyday low priced. Mangoes are one such item. 2/$1, every week.
Lemons and Limes, too.

I have been buying mangoes every week. I don't eat mango everyday, but I
keep them in the fridge, once they get ripe, and when I want it, it's there!

I love their fragrance and prefer their taste to peaches or nectarines.
While they are similar, I like the texture of mango better.

I know how to cut and peel a mango.
I set the mango on one of its "thin" sides, run the knife down the equator
between the two halves, and when I hit the pit, I turn the knife slightly so
it runs close to the pit. Then I put the mango, pit side down and slice
down the other side of the pit. Finally, I trim down the sides of the mango
to release any flesh that's on the edges of the pit. Then I slice the fruit
lengthwise and peel each slice with a knife.

My question is this:

There's always so much flesh left on the pit, no matter how carefully I try
to make those cuts. I hate throwing all that mango-goodness away!

What do other people do?
