I am a Hellmansaholic. I have mayonnaise with everything and get through jars of it. And, having just retired I'm trying not to waste any food at all.

We do use mayo a lot as a dressing and for sandwich mixes,nothing better than a nice bowl of soup & a sandwich for lunch or tea-time nice easy and very good on the budget.

They need to have a word with my son, he is always using up leftovers and mixing them with mayonnaise. His favourite is leftover stirfry and bacon with mayo, another is chorizo, camembert and sliced grapes. He will spread just one side, then lettuce, then grated elderly cheddar then leftover coleslaw. In the holidays he will eagerly await the cold chicken carcass and then add that to mayo and salad and sliced banana with maybe a little mango chutney. Maybe he should get a job in a sandwich bar. He's been gone for just over two weeks now and I look at the fridge and wonder what on earth to do with all the leftovers now he has gone. My mayonnaise bill will decrease hugely until he is back at the end of this semester.

Apple slices with hot bacon was another one.

What's a leftover ?? Potato peelings sandwich anyone ? With mayo of course.

tiggy Roasted potato skins and mayo dip,goes down a treat.100% no waste in this house.

Sorry but I don't like mayo! Have you tried leftover shepherd's pie sandwiches though?mmm...

No but I bet my son has. potato peelings, washed of course, are really nice deep fried and dipped in mayo, and deep-fried floured broad bean pods are even nicer. I do hate waste. Son came back from uni last weekend and I offered to cook him lunch on Saturday, he refused and preferred to rummage for weird sandwich fillings. Apparently elderly cheddar, damson jam and mayo are good. Why is there no Yuck smiley?

Yesterday I made coleslaw of sorts by mixing a grated broccoli stalk (a thick one), a small grated carrot, small amount of finely chopped raw onion, and a few quartered cherry tomatoes with Helman's mayonnaise. I thought there would be some left for my sandwich today but DH finished it all off.

we love Hellmanns with all of our leftovers especially on a sunday evening with what ever meat we have had on that day ie- roast lamb or chicken on a sandwich with Hellmann`s and crispy lettuce, yummy supper xx

Being an absolute Curry addict,all our left over chicken, lamb,vegetable curries mixed with Hellman s Mayo simply takes sandwiches to the next level, just heavenly contentment and very filling.

My Gorgeous Dad would have loved this idea
He was from a very poor family (financially) and his Mother taught her children how to make a meal from almost nothing.

When I was a child and he and I had the house to ourselves we would make a pan of 'bread pudding'
It was basically old bread, milk and anything else that needed using up.
We made some terrible concoctions using the last scrapings from jars of jam, honey, fruit last bits of this and that, simmer it all in the milk and called it 'sloppy dosh'

I'm sure if there was a bit of mayo around it would have gone in too!

My Mother would arrive back with a horrified look on her face at what we were eating, but it was precious time with my Dad and I loved it.

mmmm I love the ends of cheese that have gone hard softly melted in a pan with some finely chopped up either cooked meat or quickly fry off chopped bacon with afew herbs( fresh or dried) thrown into the mix, allow to melt until soft (can add a small amount of vino -if there is any left!). Allow to cool a little and spread onto bread. Top with a mix of mayo and mushed up avocado or finely chopped mango or peach - sounds dreadful -try it! LUSHAROONY!! So many ppl have gone ugh and then I have made one and get the 'wow' - not very healthy admittedly but add a pile of salad into it too to relieve those guilty feelings! lol

These ideas sound great. Keep meaning to find something to do with potato peelings, they do seem such a waste. Will try some of these.
