I hate it when it's fresh but three days old-Yuck.
Honest Gordon the green stuff formed on the surface is good for you - it is a basic penicillin culture - I think. Let's have a bit of a cavalier attitude

Lol I went into more detail than Marl
Sorry, I just tend to cook by trial and error, I love cooking.
Balls are just because I like balls (not really, just makes it easier to flatten them into neat shapes rather than raggy ones (stops them burning so much as well, but I reckon you know that )

Gordon....I was taught to use up leftovers(there is too much food wasted today because people do not know what to do with it, to make it usable)...and done in the right way you would not know they were leftovers........and anyway, it isn't second hand mash....it's leftovers.
^^Yes this!

And maybe there is a reason why there was leftovers...maybe someone who should have been dining didn't.

When deciding if food is not suitable for consumption, you look at it, smell it, and give some to you other half...if he survives then it should be oK to eat.

Gordon...way back when...there were no fridges or freezers....we regularly ate stuff that had been sat on the cellar head for days......we cut the green off the cheese.......did we come to any harm?
I can't speak for you...but I certainly didn't.
I totally agree-if it smells okay it should be okay to eat.I even use food that's past its best before date, I can't stand being fussy about things like that, I'm grateful that I have the choice when it comes down to it.

Re: ideas for leftover mash?

I take very little notice of 'sell by' dates. I use what god gave me and what has caused man to survive for so long....my eyes, and my nose.
The sell by dates were put on foods by the food industry(probably at the behest of a 'nanny' government) to make people distrust their senses and to throw perfectly good food away.(more profits in it for the food giants) This, while half of the world starves.

Because of my upbringing, I find food waste sinful. I throw away nothing that can be used. I was born recycling.

If they looked alright and smelled ok and had been kept dry then I would give 'em a go.

Well, no I wouldn't eat them, because I am not fond of thea kind of stuff...but I would feed them to himself.

I also use leftover mash to top a vegetarian baked pie....a bit like cottage pie, but with all kinds of vegetables in a white sauce(whatever is in my veggie box that looks like it needs to be eaten soon......wrinkly carrots, mushrooms, peppers, floppy leeks that kind of stuff. It makes a hearty lunch and is healthy...five a day in one dish.

Are you allowing P.C. speech to creep in here Margaret?

Is it no longer allowed for us to call a vegetable meal just that, a vegetable meal?
If someone wishes to eat just vegetables then fair enough, they can eat only vegetables, it's their choice, however a vegetable pie does not have to be known as a vegetarian pie surely?

No Less...I hadn't actually thought about it.......I only called it a vegetarian meal because I use it for a friend...who is a vegetarian....it is just a vegetable pie to us.....pastryless.

Agree with you 110% on this ... I know that Canadians waste way too much food.

Most of Canada's wasted food dumped from homes - World - CBC News

So, you would feed 'himself' with 26 year old food but not touch it yourself?
Greater love hath no woman!
Is he insured?

That's one of the reasons I love Stilton cheese. It's mouldy to start with so you can't tell if it's gone off or not, it all gets eaten.

As I stated Gordon...I do not eat Pasta/Noodles...if I did then(and they looked and smelled OK) - then yes I would eat them.
And of course he is insured...do you think I'm stupid or something
(I should state at this point we have been married for 46 years and he has never once been ill off my cooking - he has been sick off drink, but not my food)
