Does this meal sound nice to you...

...or horrible?!

DH is a one for using up leftovers in the fridge, and he will be home from work at 7.30. This is what I found in the fridge, and what I've done with it. (I've already eaten, I'm not daft😂)

One cooked jacket potato - I cut it in half, scraped out the potato, mixed with some grated double gloucester, piled it back into the two halves and put them in a dish. Then I found several mushrooms, half a red pepper, half an onion and two rashers of bacon. I've fried it all so it is part-cooked, mixed in a little bit of red pesto, and put it all around the jacket potato halves. Then I found some leftover roast parsnips so I cut them into bits and threw them in as well. I'm then going to bake it at 160 for about 15 minutes.

It was his idea to use up the leftovers, but I'm not sure what he's going to make of it - what do you reckon?

Sounds fine to me

Sounds lovely apart from the parsnips!

Can I have some please 😂
Sounds lovely!

I’d eat it.

It sounds delicious!

Agree the parsnips ruin it. Apart from that...yummy

I was with you until the parsnips. I like parsnips but just seems an odd combo

Throw away the pepper but add more parsnips

Disclaimer - he does like parsnips.

Sounds lovely to me. Just a tip for next time - fry and chop up the bacon then add it to the cheese and potato mix before putting back into the skins 😋

im with pixiedust take out the peppers and add more parsnips scooped out and cheese added jacket potatoes are yummy

No bacon and not sure about the parsnips but I would eat the rest.

Sounds great!

Fine apart from the parsnips. Well, I'd not have eaten the mushroomy bit, but I assume DH likes them, and they do go. The parsnips is an unusual addition.
Although I think you should have mixed the fried bacon, onion, pepper mushroom mixture in with the potato and cheese.

@Hidingawaytoday Good idea, although I had already done the spuds before I found the bacon - underneath a nearly empty dish of tiramisu. He's lucky that didn't go in as well...

Yes apart from the parsnips

I don’t think the parsnips go. Is it enough food for him? Add a tin of beans ?

I’d eat that, sounds nice. I’m a big cook/foodie but sometimes enjoy the challenge of using up leftovers and seeing what creation we can make.

Yep it all sounded pretty damn good until you mentioned the pesto then parsnips which takes it to jumped the shark territory!

good to hear the food doesn’t get wasted though!

I agree.

Sounds like "if its" which is the kind of sensible throwing together of fridge and veg cupboard leftovers I make a lot. Often topped with half a potato waffle or the last 2 frozen sausages in the freezer 😂

There's a stale brown roll so he can have that to fill him up. And there's some slightly limp rocket and flabby celery if he wants a side salad.😋

Sounds good, I’d happily eat it.

I like parsnips but I wouldn't have put it with the rest of it. But yeah, sounds good to me.

What you having it with ? Half a filled jacket spud is t much !
