I'd give 'em a good wash and use 'em.

Let's face it, if you grow veg in the garden, anything could walk/crawl over it or worse, while it's growing, and you still use it!:o

tonight we have had a chicken and mushroom curry. We served all the meat and mushrooms but had some sauce left over.

Mr L didn't eat all of his dinner so has put what left in a tub to take for lunch tomorrow.

I though I could water down the sauce to thin it out a bit and use it as soup or a soup base - spicy and when re-heated, add a bit of rice (or not).

i dont see whats minging about doing that
i would add the rice
and do write down what you do
i dont know how many times i have done similar things
loved it
and then cant remember what i added later on and cant replicate it:o

if you feel your soup needs "something"
maybe a can of tomatoes if you dont add the rice
might make it more substantial

Not minging at all. You could have also frozen the left over sauce to make something like coronation chicken or just a topping for jacket potato.

I do it all the time. If I have a friend round for tea and make the portions so big that we both end up leaving some I've no shame in tipping both the leftovers in a tupperware tub to make one lunch portion to take to work the next day. And I'm a 30 year old lad.

I save sauce all the time, and don't think there is anything minging about that. A nice mulligatawny soup...yummy.

I don't tend to save anything left on my plate, but then I don't put big portions out for me, preferring to have another helping if required.

I would do that, with an adult who eats with cutlery. ;-)
Would not do that with a child who eats with his fingers, sucks fingers, picks !!!!!!s out of its nose and sticks his fingers in his food again....

Not a problem ,why throw good food away.I use every bit of food that I can,My Mum's admonishment reminds me from well over 65 years ago
" Don't throw food away lassie your feeding the devil "
a bit archaic I know but to me I know what she meant.
When folk are in this world who are starving the amount of perfectly good food that's binned is awful.

No you save the sauce and bulk it out if you fancy with perhaps some pasta or as another poster suggested freeze and use as a topping for a jacket spud.I have some small plastic tubs that I keep for this purpose.Even a thick tasty gravy will freeze nicely in an ice cube tray then use again as a base for stew or soups
