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!

Yes indeed,
I call it 'the disposable society' which include all foods, appliances, motor cars, infact just about everything...its 2 years old...we better buy a new one...this also extends to relationships, disposable! if it gets a bit tough, throw in the towel and move onto the next one...I'm generalising a wee bit.
Sad state of affairs!
