e all have our "defaults - the chicken pie, risotto or soup that we can do without really thinking.  And while WE might be bored of our old favourites, they'd taste fantastic to someone else. So do  please share your ideas for using up the last carrot in the fridge, those last two blackening bananas or the single lingering single egg white".

Filing some recipes today, I spotted one which Liz Seeber (cookery book dealer extraordinaire from Brighton) found in the Five Roses Cook Book from Canada. The idea is to pass leftover sandwiches through the mincer, mix the result with a good, well-seasoned gravy, put in a pie dish and cover with an inch-deep layer of mashed potato.

I can see that this could be both thrifty and delicious, but scan the sandwiches carefully, as one single smoked salmon or tuna one might skew the balance if all the rest were meaty or cheesy ones.

Mmmm... it is certainly absolutely of its era. And brave. The combination of minced bread and mashed potato is certainly strange, but I'd love to hear from anyone who's tried it....

Leftover sandwiches are also pretty good toasted - even jam ones.
