Leftovers were always my favourite, coming as they did in the form of Bubble&Squeak.
One of the reasons clashes over meals tended to happen when Dad was cooking, more than when mum cooked, was that my mum had a genius for turning the most mundane thing into a treat. She could invest practically anything with treat status. My childhood favourites were almost always the really cheap stuff lol. Bubble&Squeak was a classic example of that. Salmon, or beef paste sandwiches was my other favourite.
Though I am incredibly wasteful of food as an adult, mum taught me one of the most useful skills I can think of: I can make a meal out of thin air:P Being able to throw together something which is recognisably a meal from seemingly empty cupboards is a skill which has served me very well in the lean times.
