What are the worst leftovers? - Page 2

heres another gross one for you...

We just came home from a fabulous dining experience at a newly opened mediterranean restaurant in Dundee...The Byzantium. Food was amazing. Altogether a great night.

Then I noticed a couple using the lovely plastic, prysm-like spears that are left on all the tables as toothpicks... They ate their olives and sundried tomatoes with them, then placed them back in the container they came from...Well we were using ours too and then we were suddenly using our fingers instead.

I know its not leftovers/re-cycling per say, but yeuch!! How often have they been re-used???

No, not really. It can be formed into 'meat' balls - it can be used as part of a skirlie... Versatile, that's our national dish!

And, by the way....? It's haggIs :rolleyes:

Well it gave me the dry boak for sure... BTW To the un-initiated. Re. Scots translation...~The dry boak is the gagging reflex. As opposed to the BOAK which constitutes an up-chuck.

Haggis is a tasty dish... I mean, could millions of Scots be wrong?

But that croquette thing? Naaaaah, full on boak, never mind a dry one - and I've never heard of it!

if you eat pasta and chinese food cold the next morning that would still constitute a leftover?.....
love reheated fried rice, congee, pad thai, lasagna, pesto pasta, mac and cheese.....

recycled picks & grissle are just bad form.....gross.

100% with shroom.

And a big thanks to Ish and BH for adding such a useful term to my vocabulary. As it happens (failed actor that I am), I've got quite a few accents -- among them several Scots' -- which I use to bedevil perfectly innocent people. Boak will make it so much the better.

I think this would make a really great "Iron Chef" or "Chopped" knockoff: Here's a bunch of leftover food. Now make a decent meal out of it!

You heard it first here. :peace:

Here too, not much goes to waste. Didn't Top Chef do one episode on leftovers?

I'm reminded o' wee Craig Ferguson doin' "the worst Sean Connery impression I ever heard," in The Big Tease.

Can that be healthy in a food forum?

I've had hit and miss success with morphing one meal into another, but this week was a win for sure. We just got back from a 2-week trip, and were ready for a home-cooked meal.

I made a small sirloin boneless beef roast (on sale) with root vegetables, and there was plenty left over. However, I had no usable juices to make a sauce with, so I ran to the store, bought a small sirloin steak (also on sale), seared it in the pan, and deglazed with wine. After some fussing I added small bites of the roast and slices of the steak and the vegetables to the pan, covered it and put it in the oven at 275 degrees for an hour while I tutored a student at his home. By the time I got home, it was done. All the meat was tender and the sauce was perfect. There was enough left to portion and freeze four meals for my mother-in-law.

Welcome 00sheven

(I must explain why I've gone on with this (but I couldn't help that last one)...my teens and I play a driving game where we try and outdo each other with Sean Connery impressions. We get ourselves into fits of silly laughter, makes the drive go faster too. Not taking the you know what out of you, it was just too tempting as we do this, and often).

So...who is going to recyle the bbq sausages? Assume they aren't burnt to a crisp and have some life left in them :)

Easy. Cut them into fine dice and use them, along with shrimp, scrambled egg, and green onions in fried rice -- using glutinous rice.

Chop the sausages and add them to the leftover baked beans for lunch.

I've never actually tried Haggis, but I have heard that it can be quite tasty. I probably should give it a try since I am of Scott decent on my mother's side.
