One does not often here this term much in cooking these days , but it was an important means of budgeting and cooking in the war and post war years when every scrap of food was made use of ,often a reheated dish was created and and served from the left overs of a previous meal . Today I have just done that - the left over roast chicken , was used to make a Chicken and sweetcorn pie , and left over mincemeat , and left over home-made apple sauce .was made into a Mincemeat and Apple Pie . Very rewarding and tasty making use of the leftovers like this .
That ends my cookery tip for the day !!
Love your cookery tip Beryl. I try not to waste food most leftovers used to get put in the freezer and used another day but now I am on my own I never get leftovers it is easier cooking for one. Your pies do look delicious for a great meal.
What a wonderful way to repurpose leftovers with a much nicer name!
Raised by depression era parents who abhorred wasted food, this really appeals to me! I think it was Phyllis Diller who said, "We had leftovers so often I don't remember the original meal!"
