Come to think of it, a forum 'Come Dine With Me' sort of arrangement would be rather fun...

Last night I happened to be passing Morrisons so I popped in to get something for tea.
Bought a lovely three fish roast for £6 (they prepare them at the fresh fish counter).
It consisted of salmon, cod and smoked haddock. Had it with mashed potatoes, carrots and peas and cheese sauce. It was lovely and I will definitely buy it again for a quick and easy meal.
There was loads left over so tonight I cooked up some peppers and mushrooms in a pan. Added some tinned tomatoes and herbs, the leftover fish, (and a packet of prawns that needed using up) then I added some cooked penne.
Served it with flat garlic bread (from Morrisons) which was reduced to 29p.
I feel like we've had 2 nights meals for next to nothing.
And I've still got loads of fish pasta and garlic bread left for my lunch tomorrow.

Totally agree about not wasting food and making meals from leftovers.
When we are having a roast chicken we buy a larger one than we need and extra vegetables.
When the chicken is cooked I drain all the juices and fat into Tupperware pots and this gets made into stock which I freeze for future use.
After the roast dinner, we keep some chicken back for chicken salad tea or sandwiches then I remove nearly every bit of flesh from the carcass.
With the left over chicken I would make a chicken pie and/or chicken pasta or perhaps chicken in a white sauce. (depending on how much is left.)
The carcass/bones get thrown in a cauldron with loads of veg to make soups for the freezer.
The soggy underneath bits and the skin get mixed up with cooked rice and veg and this makes scrummy dog food.
Absolutely not one bit gets wasted.

I just knew that you would have a cauldron.

Don't Brunning and Price leave 50% of tables unreserved?

When I rang they told me they leave 10 in the bar for walk ins, but he didn't want to risk it

Why not serve your bread on a saucer. Even better why not serve a pizza on lawn mower. Or a steak on drainpipe. Or a Scotch Egg in a trophy. And a trifle on the ear of an owl

I've served my bread on a plate.
It might not be a round plate, but it's a plate all the same.
