I know people who are convinced left-over food is unsafe. They throw it away, the fools.
Our Christmas Day beef has provided many meals and sarnies in recent days; might finish it later today.
But we had 14 guests yesterday so we have a whole new load of leftovers rammed into the fridge like some kind of edible Jenga game, complete with occasional avalanches.
Best of the most recent food is the large gammon joint I boiled & roasted yesterday, with a honey & mustard glaze; so I've got 3 litres of stock for making soup, and a week of ham sarnies to look forward to!
Oh, I'm with you there. Especially being an inveterate yellow sticker-er. It's a sobering thought that I buy a lot of my food at the point where quite a few people would be wanging it in the bin...
We actually has a guinea fowl on Christmas Day. Still a little bit of that left, and some stuffing. The turkey meat is from the two free range bronze turkeys that I bought on YS on Christmas Eve, that I de-boned, jointed and froze, before using the carcasses, giblets (except for the livers*) - and the guinea fowl carcass - to make a big pot of stock. And then picking the remaining meat from the carcasses before finally shoving the bones into the maw of the heating. I've used every bit of the birds except for the cackles and gobbles!
Most of the cooked turkey meat has also been portioned out and frozen, but I've kept some back for a) more of those sandwiches, and b) to make a curry. Although how much will survive to actually end up in the curry is anyone's guess
I will be making a pie of some description over the weekend I think, probably with ham, stuffing and leek. And probably the last of a piece of stilton that's been lurking in the back of the fridge.
I *did* buy a tomahawk steak for New Year, but that's been shoved into the freezer as well. I'd rather take it out when I'm in a position to enjoy it, rather than clearing up leftovers - only two Humans and one cat here. Although the leftovers have been very tasty, so no complaints there!
* livers have been frozen to have later with bacon, onions, fried eggs etc...
