Just Thrown Out

[Vagus]

Half a tin of sweet corn which has been sitting in the fridge since goodness knows when, and a small box of dark chocolate covered crystallised ginger after trying two of them and deciding they’re really not for me.
Everything else has either been eaten, will be eaten, or turned into soup and frozen.
What’s been chucked in the bin in your house?

I never ...or rarely...throw anything out. But I'm about to get rid of some goats milk camembert. I like most goats cheeses I've tried, but this stuff was revolting.

i did throw out some camembert and other cheeses before Christmas gone right off eating them -

Pasta, the birds just love cheese of any kind. Half tins of sweetcorn etc I would also give to the birds. I also microwave potato peelings for the birds. Haven't found a use for eggshells yet but friend swears that they keep slugs away from hostas?

Scraps on plates??? The only scraps on plates in this house are chicken and fish bones/shellfish shells which all go in the food waste bin.

Absolutely nothing is wasted in my house, I’ll often eat brown bread 6-7 days past its Best Before and yoghurts are fair game up until 6-8 weeks after.
No need for the ridiculous amount of waste that (especially) us as Westerners fritter away, diabolical in fact.

[rowanwitch]

I waste very little, but I do have greedy gulls from a nearby roost who will eat pretty much anything

[emmie]

i try not to but have gone off eating,

[Vagus]

We don’t have a food waste bin, wish we did.
I never peel potatoes or carrots, just things with tough, inedible peel like swede, bananas, oranges, etc.
We throw very little food away so I think it would be really interesting to have to use a food waste bin, probably make us realise we throw away more than we think we do.

[emmie]

my brother and sil throw out stuff when it up to use by date, seems a waste but not my call to say something

[tamborine]

Empty mulled wine bottles fill my bin. All combustibles up the chimney for warmth. Excess food for birds & animals. No landfill from here ;)

[MartinMillar]

Egg shells can be dried out in the oven and then blitzed to a gravel and mixed in with soil for plants or gardening

[maggiebee]

Tambourine, you've just reminded me that my mum used to bank up our open fire with potato peelings - burned all night.

[tamborine]

Anyone got marzipan, as Ive eaten all mine & desperate for more

[emmie]

hate the stuff -

[tamborine]

Em - as my mum would say "what do monkeys know of the taste of ginger"

[smurfchops]

Nothing. We feed the birds in the garden.
