It's sad in a world where many don't have enough to eat and others waste food. :(
In this article, at the bottom, it lists the typical foods wasted in the UK. Although potato is listed at the top, if all the ready-meals were added together, they would be top of the list. :o :rolleyes:

I have to say I'm no angel when it comes to food waste. :oops: But by cooking more for myself, I do believe I'm wasting far less than I used to, because I know exactly what's in my fridge. ;)
I've been known to through mouldy apples away before because I bought BOGOF and hadn't used them in time. :o :rolleyes: However, there are some great receipes in the links below, and I'm also gonna make more of an effort to freeze excess fruit, ready to make a lovely pie or crumble! ;) :))
