Bubbly Squeaks a plenty.
Home made pies are a great way to combine left overs.
Chop finely allsorts, add herbs and spices and wrap in puff pastry for portable/picnic food

No cooks in this house but we can put it in the same bin as the garden waste.

Depends what it is, often it goes in the fridge for later but the dog sometimes gets it.

Either freeze it or make a stew/curry/chinese/pie.

No leftover food. It’s just that some hangs around for a while before being eaten. Turkey meat can go into sandwiches or curries long after Christmas Day. The surplus of Christmas Day roast potatoes, parsnips and pigs in blankets tasted great when I warmed them up on Boxing day.

Bones, scraps etc sometimes go into the slow cooker for stock with some seasoning but that’s about it :+1:

And this afternoon I had the rest of the home made pie. A wee bit sweet for my liking but I ate it anyway.

Just had the rest of a leftover spicy lamb stew for lunch heated in the microwave. These kinds of things often taste better heated up a day or two later. Cold roast potatoes also make a good addition to a salad.

A bit of roast chicken or something is saved for a sandwich. More will be warmed in white sauce spiced and served with rice.

Bones, being cooked bones, are no good. You need proper bones for stock. :crazy_face:

Sometimes the leftovers are better than the original.

You need to borrow the neighbours dog and ponce a free bone off your local butcher.

Sounds like a good basis for making a Sausage!

I’ m not sure the next door neighbour’s dog would make a very nice stock and wouldn’t the butcher miss one of his bones - especially in his arm!
