I am sure many people on here have the same problem.
Today is the last day of my Christmas holls from work, and so all the decorations are away, the tree has been chopped up and put in the garden waste, the cards have been put in the Sainsbury’s charity box and the house is pretty much back to normal. Except, we still have an inordinate amount of snacky type food left over from the festivities.
Now in my defence it is MUCH less than previous years as I made a conscious effort not to over buy this year, but I do not know what to do. I feel very wrong throwing away perfectly edible food when there are people going hungry, but in all honesty I do not think we are going to eat it.
Nor is it stuff that I can give to people as it is already opened.
Husband begged me this morning not to make him take mince pies in his lunch box lol
Which is the most immoral? Forcing the family to eat the food or throwing it away.

We bought less last year so there was much less waste. Also we deliberately tried not to 'have everything on offer at once' and just use what was out and wanting to be eaten up. We still have a lot of food in storage that will be okay for a goodly while in the freezer.

I would love to have given it away to a food bank, but am not sure that open stuff would be well received. Some examples are…..
mince pies – but stored in a tin, not sealed in box
Half a chocolate log – in a tin, obviously not sealed in a box
Two thirds of an open tub of savoury cheesy snacks
Multiples boxes of chocolates, all containing just the least favourite flavours
Open Jars of nuts with half gone
A stollen loaf with one slice gone that tasted shit
An open box of dates that had a few gone
So not really stuff that a food bank would want

mince pies – freeze and bring out in a couple of months and serve as a desert with custard or cream
Half a chocolate log – As above
Two thirds of an open tub of savoury cheesy snacks - crumble and add to meat and mince for a savoury topping
Multiples boxes of chocolates, all containing just the least favourite flavours - chuck
Open Jars of nuts with half gone - birds
A stollen loaf with one slice gone that tasted shit - chuck
An open box of dates that had a few gone- chuck they are the devils invention
Hope some of these help |

"Ah no, if it's open they won't take it.
If it's open and bread/pastry put it out for the birds, or maybe see of any pig farms or animal charities will take it?"
you are a genius!!
I will take it to next door for their animals!!!!!!! |

now THAT is a good idea"
Also make a soup with either cauliflower or brocolli, crumble in and use as thickening |

We didn't eat much of our Christmas food due to feeling under the weather so our cupboards are fairly full. Even the turkey had to be cooked then portioned up and frozen again. The speciality cream needs using very soon so may heat up the xmas pudding over the weekend and have a nibble.
Most of the snack type stuff will be eaten by little one over the next few weeks I'm sure. |

Throw it away.
None of it is nutritious. It's all sugar and fat.
If you had eaten it all, the needy wouldn't have got a look in anyway so it's not immoral to throw it away.
Compost some of it and put some out for the birds.

"I know most pig farms won't take waste food.
It is against the law to give pigs, goats etc any food that has come from a kitchen. Ex pig owner.... 
Why aren't they allowed?"

I grew up with the narrative that we should not waste food and as a result I often ended up eating things that I should not have done. I have taught my kids differently...and I now try and buy less and whatever is left in " less healthy choices" gets thrown away this week. No point it ending up on our waistlines.... |

It goes back to the 80s or 90s when some under cooked pork waste from a school was fed to pigs and it started a big foot and mouth outbreak.... My question was what was a school doing feeding under cooked pork to children... So now you can cut up veg in your garden and give it to pigs no probs, but if you took it in to your kitchen to cut it up it would then be illegal to feed to livestock in case of cross contamination...
Sorry for hijack...  |
