How many meals from one chicken?!

[WinkyWinkola]

I read on MN you can get four meals from one bird.

So, you get:

i. a roast bird for the family

ii. soup from the bones with added hearty veg and vermicelli

What else?

And are there any other meats that you can get several meals out of, please?

We might have 3 meals, roast bird, chicken salad or chicken sandwiches, and risotto made with stock.
Other meats - well it depends on the size of the chunk you start with! You can use leftovers from pretty much any meat, really!
FWIW we tend to use leftover pork in a stirfry, leftover lamb in curry, and leftover beef makes a good sandwich.
You can make stock with bones and scraps any of the above but we only tend to bother with chicken, probably because there are more bones and fiddly scrappy bits relative to meat!

I only get two meals from a chicken, but there are five of us, six if my bf is here. Leftover chicken is usually curry or pie

Two plus a sandwich usually. Make stock as well if I can be bothered.

1 is the roast
2 pie/curry/casserole/risotto/stir fry/whatever
3rd is stock

1.roast
2.chicken&wild mushroom risotto/pasta with chicken, bacon, peas etc
3.soup or freeze stock for future use

I can easily get 4 meals for 5 from a chicken, but I don't serve a roast. I cook the bird and then strip the meat from the bones.

Typically I would make:

risotto/savoury rice/stirfry/easy thai spiced noodles with 1 breast
pasta bake/creamy chicken and veg jackets with 1 leg.
chicken and veg with dumplings/chicken and veg pie with the other leg
chicken tortilla bake/shredded barbecue chicken rolls or similar with the other breast.

Then I would make stock for soup and add all the little scraps from the wings and underside of the bird along with carrots, onions, leek and either barley or rice. Soup would typically last 2 lunches.

So, in effect, I would get 6 meals for 5 from a chicken. It's not everyone that would want to do this, though.

Other meats get the same treatment in here. I don't buy a lot of meat because I am veggie and can only stomach buying ethically reared (outdoor, organic/wild) stuff for the rest of the family and it's really expensive.

I cook a pork joint and then divide it into enough for 3 or four meals, depending on the size. A lamb/mutton leg will get divided into 4 and then I'll make stock with the bones for soup. Same with the very, very odd beef joint that I buy. I make things like savoury rice/risotto, hedgehogs (rissole things made with potato and veg mash) barley mince, shredded barbecue meat rolls, pies/pasties, curries, fritters, toad-in-the-hole type things. A joint will give me the basis for meals for the family for most of the week.
