so had roast lamb on Sat night, made leftover lamb into potato moussaka on Weds night, there is enough left for the DDs to have today but it is now Friday 6 days after lamb was originally cooked and the lamb has been cooked and reheated once already, i am thinking this should be fine but WWYD?

i'd do it, but make sure it is really well heated through. if it has gone off it will smell.

I would too

4 days max for me.

In your case I would be reluctant to eat it again as I gather it was refrigerated rather than frozen. Dh would say "smell it, if it smells fine it will be fine!"

Maybe another time freeze the leftover inprtions and just take out when needed (I do that a lit with lasagna or shepherds pie).

thing is can you freeze something that has already been reheated if you get my drift...

so roast lamb
make leftovers into something (shepherd's pie, moussaka) can this then be frozen if there is leftovers...

I am going to bin it based on the above think sick DDs would send me over the edge at the mo.

I have frozen things that had beeen reheated once, but I would not freeze something that had been reheated several times already.
