They’re a limp yet loveable, perfunctory, predictable, practical and sometimes putrid; that’s right folks, they’re leftovers. This week, as many of us enjoy turkey milkshakes and stuffing tacos, we thought what better time than now to directly address food you made too much of, assuming you’d want to eat it for two weeks straight. Leftovers are a necessary part of food waste reduction, and sometimes they are also very gross, and we are here to unpack the whole (leftover) enchilada. Nic has the economic history of fridge leavings, and Z is coming atcha fast and lose with the thrilling tale of Tupperware. So scrape that omelette into the ice cream maker and throw another bone in that stew, it’s Life’s a Banquet the Podcast!Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.
