Daddima "I remember once asking on here why we thought certain foods should be eaten at certain times of day, so no curry for breakfast, or, less often, cereal and toast for dinner."

Likewise why can't we have dessert before our main?

When I was in my 20s, I used to sometimes eat left over takeaway (Chinese or Indian usually) for breakfast but I don't think I'd want it first thing in the morning these days.

I'd have it for lunch.

Cold roast potatoes sprinkled with salt, so good... Or cut up smaller and fried. Best breakfast ever

My Dad used to make the best bubble and squeak on a Monday using left over vegetables from Sunday lunch and it was served with cold meat from the Sunday roast. I have tried many times to make bubble and squeak that tasted as good as Dad’s but have never succeeded.

Love any leftovers for breakfast, cold ...?

Once upon a time I could do that but not now. I would probably see off a full breakfast if it was cooked for me grin

My sister always liked left over lamb stew ( cawl) for breakfast

Reminds me of when I had a part-time job teaching a very bright Downs boy to read english.
He lived near me so we walked to school together. I was always a bit concerned about his care at home so asked him if he'd had any breakfast. He grinned and took a bag of roast potatoes out of his pocket. A lot better than nothing grin.

DH used to be given left over curry for breakfast.
It doesn't happen now.!

Leftover fried vegs on Boxing Day is my favourite meal, chopped up roasties and everything else with lashings of gravy yummy.

That's a middle of the night treat for me.
I'd also add some grated cheese. Yum.

Sounds great to me!

Sounds great. I also like them chopped up and fried with some bacon (not the broccoli and gravy though). Fried up mashed potato was also a great treat when I was growing up. Think some people have lost the art of using left overs.

Lovely, to be enjoyed no matter what time of day it is!

I remember once asking on here why we thought certain foods should be eaten at certain times of day, so no curry for breakfast, or, less often, cereal and toast for dinner.
I confessed to waiting till nearer 12 to eat some of last night’s leftovers, but don’t do that any more!
As often happens here, very few (if any) got my point, and I got replies saying people just ate when they were hungry, didn’t have set mealtimes, or gave a rundown of their day’s menus!

Thanks. Now I know what we're having for dinner! ?

Jaxjacky Fri 23-Oct-20 11:29:11

I’d do the same! No waste in this house.

Nortsat Fri 23-Oct-20 11:28:16

Yum

Sounds good to me smile

henetha Fri 23-Oct-20 11:24:01

Yum. It always tastes better the next day.

To be fair it was nearly 11 am - I hardly ever fancy anything to eat first thing - but I’ve just had 3 large roast potatoes, some broccoli and gravy, all left over from a roast chicken dinner the other night - warmed up together in the microwave.

Delish! And cleared out the fridge a bit at the same time.
