Waste not want not.

Yesterday i went out for a meal at a fairly local pub,and it was marvellous that we could at last sit inside to eat.

I had Gammon,egg,pineapple,chips,salad and peas,which was lovely,but such a gigantic portion i brought half the gammon home,together with most of the chips.

So today,i reheated the chips and gammon in the airfryer,made a small salad with coleslaw,and it was as good as yesterday.....but even so i still left some chips.

I never understand why they serve a mountain of chips with everything,its ridiculous and wasteful.

And why not as they do give too large a portions sometimes and I bet you enjoyed it a lot today. 👍

No harm in asking them if they could give you a smaller portion!

I used to work in a university kitchen years ago and it was criminal the amount of food that got thrown out that could have been reused!

Do your dogs like chips as if they do you could have given the chips to them so they weren't wasted!

At our house nothing goes to waste!

Its disgusting when there's so many in the world starving!

Are there many people actually starving? I know much of the world is undernourished, but those people do not need potatoes. In fact, tragically, there is a portion of the world that is undernourished and obese.

The crime with food waste is really the waste of resources, and of course the greenhouse gasses releases as it rots.
