People in Stamford and Rutland urged to not let Jubilee leftovers go to waste
Almost three-quarters of us that attended or hosted a party are expected to have uneaten food
Those across Stamford and Rutland that enjoyed Jubilee street parties and lunches yesterday are being urged to not let uneaten food go to waste.
Clare Crowley, from Rutland's Community Food Fridges project, is an expert in making use of food surplus.
She says there's a number of ways to make your leftovers go longer, particularly when the cost of living is so high:
'At the end of a party if there's leftover fruit you can take it home and make smoothies, or you can put it in the freezer and have it on your granola or muesli or breakfast or on pancakes.'
'...If there's leftover sausages, provided they've been in a cold place and they've not been eaten, then perhaps you can make casseroles'
'Obviously with all of this you need to make sure food safety is thought about because food does go off, especially on a hot day.'
It's as figures from food surplus business Too Good To Go show that three-quarters (72%) of us either attending or hosting street parties are expected to have leftover food.
That statistic, combined with the fact that an estimated 70,000 big lunches were held yesterday, means there will be a lot of extra leftover food to go around - which, if put to good use, will be another small way to make our money go further during a difficult cost of living period.
