We still use up leftovers. Sometimes we call it a stew, soup or just that stuff.It's mixed veggies basically. My guess is during the Depression years, no one threw any leftover away. You just incorporated it into the next day veggies/beans if you were fortunate to have them. People today have no idea how the Depression left so many hungry and all the soup lines people stood in to get just one hot meal a day. You may not like carrots, green beans etc..................but if you are truly hungry you would eat them.
We had an omelet for breakfast, so tonight it was a greek style salad with pita bread.
