when i was a kid (late 50's, early 60's), we would save 
all the leftover bits and finish them off for saturday 
night supper.  chow mein, liver and onions, salisbury 
steak, peas, potato cakes from leftover mashed potatoes... 
all kinds of combinations of dibs and dabs.  i sincerely 
think it spoke of rough times in the depression and in the 
old country (hungary) when nothing went to waste.

for some bizaare reason, my irish father called it 
'leftover for meddlers'.  go figger.

nowadays, if it's not worth a half a meal or lunch, it 
becomes a kitty-feast.
