Yes our mums taught us well. Mother said to all 6 of us. "waste not want not" Today i peeled and cooked 3 eating apples that were past there best. Put into the freezer, to be used as apple sauce. there no need for waste, when most homes now have a freezer. |

I agree, Jean, in fact I never wate any food, there is always another meal to make with a little ingenuity. My Mam taught me well. :-) |

i dont waste any meat, its far to expensive. we had roast beef for xmas dinner, the left overs were sliced, covered in gravy and frozen, i divided the meat into 3 seperate containers. that will make 3 meals for 3 of us, just have to cook veg to go with it. i will do the same when i cook the leg of lamb. |

Julia - strangely enough, I only really have leftover roast beef cold, and will probably send some over to my Dad. I'm not a total Delia! |

Sparkling Ann, I am the same as you, in that I love the Bubble & Squeak the day after, with the cold meat. Eat it with a blob of brown sauce and a slice of bread and butter. That is as far as my joints go, as being only the two of us, I don't buy one that is too big. |

I'm the same as Kay - don't like left-overs! I only ever do enough veg and potatoes for the meal. I don't mind a bit of cold meat the next day, but after that any left goes in the bin or the dog!! Only 2 of us this year so we just had a small chicken. |

Ann, you were lucky to come back with the cold meat, and able to make a meal, after your travels. We had the soup, which I was ready for, and to suit the OH, the next day had Ham, Egg and Saute Potatoes, and then moved onto Scampi and Chips. I soon get ready to give my stomach a rest from too much food. |

Strange how some of us prefer dark and others white meat isn't it? I prefer the dark myself, always think it is not so bland. I am not a great lover of turkey at all actually and usually only buy it at Christmas, Unless I buy a drumstick which I have discovered cooks beautifully in the slow cooker, very tasty and tender. |

We bought the Turkey breast from the butchers as our contribution to the Xmas fair. Was fresh white meat rolled and although a bit expensive we prefer it to supermarket turkey and we get all white meat which is preferred, |

As well as pile of sandwiches, I've made turkey curry, turkey a la king, and leek and mushroom soup with stock from the bones. From leftover gammon, tomorrow we're having Boston baked beans, also will make a cheese and ham pasta bake and a quiche, plus any scraps will go into lentil soup. |
