What's food waste???:D I had my dog for 10 years and she polished off any leftovers both cooked and uncooked. She would eat anything and loved curries, garlic, veg etc (although, at times, it would smell like a bad case of C-Difficile in my house:rolleyes:)

Now that the dog has died I have Sparks, there's no such thing as food waste in our house..:D

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

All our left over food goes in the bin, I wasn't aware that you can compost anything, I do all the peelings etc.

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

What last line? :confused:

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

they would not eat something discarded by humans.sorry bad humor

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

I think the cats find the idea disgusting too. :D

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

So it's disgusting to throw waste food down the loo but all the stuff she eats she doesn't have a problem with it ending down there ? :rolleyes:

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

Well this thread has reached the bottom of things:D:hidewall:

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

or when your throwing ya guts up:rolleyes:, same thing;)

my waste goes in the bin:D

heres a question for you where do you put your used cooking fat out of the chip pan???? down the loo, or down the sink or back in the bottle!!

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

You shouldn't put it down the loo or down the sink, even if you rinse it down with boiling water it will stiil clog the system up. I usually use an old plastic milk bottle and then throw it in the bin. Technically I'm not recycling the milk bottle but it's better than throwing oil/fat down the sink.

And this is for somebody who is going to give me a scowl when she reads it :p:p:p:p:p

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

mine goes down the sink with lots of fairy and hot water:o.....oops

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

If serving dishes were used instead of just presenting somone with a plateful, then it is hygenically acceptable to reuse any food left in those dishes at the end of a meal. eg - cold mashed potatoes can go into homemade fish cakes, cooked veg can go into soups and omelettes etc. Reheating meat is not recommended more than once and then it needs reheating very thoroughly.
Wasting food is just not the way I was raised - during post war rationing.
There was no junk food then, which is probably why it gets left in the 1st place -I cant think of any way of reusing cooked potnoodle, but I never eat it so havent tried :D

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

Try frying them with the left over chips and curry sauce from your supper. If you happened to have passed the kebab shop on the way as well a bit of Chicken Tikka or donner adds a little extra kick.

:D

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

Depends if its cooking 'OIL' or as I prefer, LARD, the latter would go in the bin , the former I sneak in Neil's diesel car (Shhhh, don't tell him!!!!)


:D

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

Neil was saying his car has never run better than it has done in the last few months and he was getting a lot of mileage from it.:rolleyes:

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

used cooking oil should be tacken to a household waste recycling centre put with motor oil

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

There's very little ever left, in our house, but what bit there is is scraped off the plate into the waste bin and I still feel guilty, doing it. In my head I can hear a voice saying, "Don't throw that away. I'll take it off your hands if it's going spare", which is what Jet, or old dog, would have said, accompanied by an accusing look, if she'd been able to talk.

I have very little "sloppy" waste, what constitutes that? I use olive oil for frying but in such small quantities it's absorbed by the food and I haven't had a chip pan or deep-fat fryer for many years. If the pan is left with a residue I rinse it under hot water and I put Domestos down the sink regularly. I can't think of anything else that's sloppy apart from the milk that's sometimes left at the bottom of a cereal bowl.

The more solid waste, what bit there is of it, goes in the bin and gets transferred to the wheelie bin in a tied plastic bin-liner. Uncooked vegetable waste goes in the compost bin.

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

We use crisp and dry ,,which is solid ,so i put it in the black sacks (when its solid again of course, not when its hot...)

He should have eaten it all up - naughty boy :D

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

Oh no I'm not!!!, Olive oil for shallow frying, Lard for deep frying :D

Trans fats work of teh devil,


Oh, what was it that first brought the idea of them being so bad for you to the consumers mind yep, the unhealthy(according to some) ATKINS Diet

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

ahhh the atkins diet!!
didnt do the fella much good did it!

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

I was replying to Grannyclaret (should have used a quote)
Glad to see you dont use them spread the word :)

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

Tony Livesey also asked how many people ate in the toilet? Seems pretty disgusting to me, but in the name of research I thought I'd give it a go.

Didn't really work out for me. The candelabra and napkin kept slipping round the u-bend.

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

eww how can anyone eat in the loo!!
just the thought knocks me sick!

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

Lol...... We have such double standards in this country. I reckon that most of us would find it disgusting to eat in/on the toilet but breastfeeding mothers are often relegated to feeding their babies in restaurant toilets after some patrons complain that feeding their baby at the table is disgusting. I know hundreds of women that this has happened to...
We wouldn't eat our own meal in the toilet but we would force someone to feed a baby in there...:rolleyes::cool:

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

We eat lot's of leftovers and rarely have to throw any kind of food item in the trash. Grease and oil and fats get thrown out. Everything else is thrown into the compost pile or given to the chickens and guineas.

Have never heard of throwing anything into the toilet over here. I guess alot of folks have garbage disposals that grind it up and it goes into the septic system. We have a septic tank and putting food items in would cause us to have to pump it out more frequently.

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

Most of our left overs are given to our hens, found very little they won't eat.

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

Tadaahhhhh

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

It amazes me that people are disgusted by mothers breastfeeding. There is nothing disgusting about it. It's perfectly natural human behaviour but oddly somehow it has become almost on a par with pornography in this country. We are a weird lot aren't we?

Garbage disposals are not very common here and it's only the rural areas that have septic tanks. Us townies' waste goes into the main sewerage system.

My Grandad never used to throw anything away either - it all went to the pigs and chickens. Unfortunately we can't keep pigs and chickens in terraced houses. Maybe that town centre farm isn't a bad idea after all - except I think there's some rule now about not giving left over food to pigs and chickens.

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

The rabbits get any veg peelings but don't like leeks and spring onions! The guinea pig will eat virtually anything, I recommend one,bit like a miniature goat ! The cat is too damn fussy and will only eat cat food,unless you are having fried chicken. The rest of the waste goes in the bin if it's not recyclable; with leftover cereal I would pour milk down drain and tip rest in bin. Don't have a compost heap but my mum composts everything !

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

compost bin, bin, sink and drain outside is where all of mine goes.

Mind u the compost bin is getting full now and so it will all probably end up in the bin.

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

Eat it, because if you don't your mummy will send it to the hungry little black children in Africa.

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

Whats food waste?:confused: do people actually leave food? shameful.:D

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

That's intersting Rindy. We always had to eat our food so Mum wouldn't send it off to the poor starving kids in India.

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

I was allways told to clear my plate because there were staving Armenians ,

bit of a sidebar ...does anyone remember the "sunshine children" during the 50s, children at the Parish primary school in Gt. Harwood were given tear-out books containing photos of african children whose faces were printed in the center of a sunflower (bit like Weed on Bill and Ben) and we were instruced to go and sell them for 6d each the proceeds going to missionaries in Africa , I remember being commended for selling the most and being called to the stage during a morning assembly , all went well until I told the gathered pupils and staff my secret .......outside the Royal pub at chucking out time

:cool: :eek::cool: :eek:

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

Not much food goes to waist in our house. Oil or liquid goes into an empty carton or bottle n put in the bin.
Nowt goes down the loo or sink.

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

Funny that, the majority of the food I eat ends up on my waist. :( ;)

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

most of our waste food goes inside sam .........my fat little dog .......not that there's much waste here .

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

That's why it appears as though I'm cultivating a bambino.
Every time I polish off Lettie's leftovers, it adds another week to my gestation period. I'll be carrying my belly round in a barrow at this rate! :o

Brits Urged To Think Before They Flush |Sky News|UK News
This says what should and shouldn't go down your loo.

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

I think it is disgusting that some water companies, based in seaside towns like Brighton, can still pump untreated sewerage straight into the sea.:mad:

If your landlady is flushing last night's cabbage down the pan as well, you could play a modern day version of Pooh sticks, and see which ends up floating on the beach first, your breakfast or your dinner.

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

yes all mine go in the bin as well and less the dog want,s it .

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

I know what you mean Willow - I have my cat food dishes in the bathroom and him being a fussy old chap, he sometimes wont eat everything I put down for him. It is easier for me to put his uneaten food down the loo than to take it the kitchen and put it in the bin. After all -most catfood looks like poo!! -dont even suggest I reuse it in my own meals :D (see my earlier post)

Re: What do you do with your food waste?
 

why not just feed it to the dog
