^^^^^^^^^That bought a memory flooding back Buffs. About 60 years ago I left some of my dinner one evening in my rush to get out and play with my mates, imagine my surprise when it arrived ..........for breakfast the next morning, last time I didn't finish my food.

Composting cooked foods in a dalek ?

I'm with Buffs and Potty here - my cooked food waste consists mainly of bones and chicken carcasses (usually boiled to destruction from making stock), plus fish and chicken skin and surplus fat from things like ham. The occasional mouldy bread crust is considered a failure (I make almost all my own bread), and there might be cooked fruit stones or citrus peel if I've been making jam or marmalade. If I throw away anything else cooked I'm probably ill.A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP. - Leonard Nimoy

Not so long ago, I decided to try to convert cooked chicken bones into bonemeal, so that I wouldn't have to bin them. I put the bones in a tray in the bottom of the Aga and forgot all about them.
Days, or it may have been weeks, later, I found this charred, rather unpleasant smelling mass in the oven
I now feel no shame in throwing them away and I don't think you should either, Jack

Shouldn't take it to heart Jack... I think it's part of what's good here... Ask a seemingly innocuous question and get leapt on from all sides Most don't mean any harm. I can't speak for the Cardiff/Swansea thing mind you...
Soak it up.
Make a highly amusing aside to any comments that do or don't tickle your fancy.

I am with you Jack I very rarely leave anything on my plate, in fact I am told regularly to leave the pattern on the plate, but there are times when it does happen, I dont put cooked food into my compost bin, I would rather send it to land fill though as Buffs has said the local council takes the food waste along with the garden waste on a weekly collection, I put the food waste into a neighbors bin as I use my bin for composting I suppose this council has got to be good at somethingit may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

Sometimes it is hard to get the wording of a post right so that it conveys the intended meaning.A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP. - Leonard Nimoy

I certainly didn't mean to criticize I was just recalling the 50s attitude, certain things were still on ration and parents had just come through a war. They didn't take kindly to anything being wasted well mine certainly didn't, mother would come down like a ton of bricks at as she saw it frivolous waste.Potty by name Potty by nature.
