Re: Leftovers anyone?
Used leftovers a lot in the UK, but I try to use it differently. Sunday roast would become a curry for later.
Something with rice one day might later go with a baked spud or chips, while the rice becomes a fried rice, using the unused meat from an earlier meal. Other stuff not enough for a meal might give a bit more body to a soup. |
Re: Leftovers anyone?
I thought the same thing until I came here, it was disgusting watching the cradles devour all their secondhand food. There was a reason they were called leftovers as nobody wanted them. But now I make stuff so that it is leftover because its better the next day when the flavours have mingled got more flavourful.

Yeah you say that now because you live in canada. Back then you were earning GBP, had 20 days holiday, cheap flights to the continent for nowt, it was cheaper to fly to America and the Carribean
How much would a starbucks Grande cost you now, or a subway sub if you are into those things? Think about it.......there use to be a sandwich shop across Debenhams on oxford street (hmm..their baps were to die for) :) At least I can afford my childcare here and my swimming pool chemicals :thumbup: I have never been an advocate of throwing food away |
Re: Leftovers anyone?
I do like some leftovers then? Turkey curry sounds awesome an roast beef butties. As long as it is not off a plate that was half eaten, a half eaten potatoe would make me gip next day in a dish with a half eaten meat pie. If it straight from the bird or joint then ok.

Re: Leftovers anyone?
My No Frills $7.49 thanksgiving turkey fed 5 on Monday, 3 for curry on Tuesday and 4 with turkey casserole on Wednesday.
I couldn't be bothered to make soup but there were enough scraps if you were interested. Bargain! Thursday we had a Ploughmans salad for 4 . Price of cheeses...... don't get that thread started!! More than the blinking turkey for sure! |
Re: Leftovers anyone?
Actually, we're making turkey pie tonight with the frozen leftovers from Thanksgiving :).

Re: Leftovers anyone?
Made loads of mash yesterday (for the meat) with the intention of using the leftovers for a fish pie tonight.
Similar to Admiral's Pie but not as good as that so I called it Purser's Pie. Well it was better than calling it Seaman Pie wasn't it? :rofl: |

Re: Leftovers anyone?
We generally don't have leftovers at our house, but then we portion control much of the food that we do have. For example bought a hunk of lamb for roasting from Costco and cut it into five separate joints of meat.
Seems that pretty much anything that's left over gets snaffled by our cats these days... |
