Myself, and I'm sure many others on this forum were brought up by parents who lived their early years or were born during The Depression.
For that reason, food was purchased for nourishment, not entertainment. Meal planning was essential to avoid 'useless' (Thanks Jack: "This brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "useless eaters") spending and grocery shopping was an art.
Every week there were at least one or two reheated or hodgepodge meals. It was well known how long foods could be stored in the refrigerator safely. These were the years of big families and waste could not be tolerated.
The subsequent generations have not practiced the same 'foodology'. They lived the "I want it now." and "Just throw it out." era.
Thanks artvision for your commentary and future view!
