You may have invented the new Hollywood craze - "The Dumpster Diet". :-P
:lol: its been around for years, its called freeganism

Freeganism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Freeganism is the practice of reclaiming and eating food that has been discarded. Freegans and Freeganism are often seen as part of a wider "anti-consumerist" ideology, and freegans often employ a range of alternative living strategies based on limited participation in the conventional economy and minimal consumption of resources.
Freegans "embrace community, generosity, social concern, freedom, cooperation, and sharing in opposition to a society based on materialism, moral apathy, competition, conformity, and greed."

Many freegans get free food by pulling it out of the trash (bins) a practice commonly nicknamed "dumpster diving" in North America and "skipping" or "bin diving" in the UK, as well as "bin raiding" or "skipitarianism" (so called because the person's diet mostly involves eating out of a skip). Retail suppliers of food such as supermarkets, grocery stores, and restaurants routinely throw away food in good condition, often because it is approaching its sell-by date (without thereby becoming dangerous), or has damaged packaging.[3] Freegans find food in the garbage of such establishments, which they say allows them to avoid spending money on products that exploit the world's resources, contribute to urban sprawl, treat workers unfairly, or disregard animal rights. By foraging, they believe they are keeping edible food from adding to landfill clutter and that can feed people and animals who might otherwise go hungry.[4]
Dumpster diving is not, however, limited to rummaging for food. Many "dumpster divers" search for anything that can be recycled or reused, from accessories to power tools in need of small repairs. Some divers collect aluminum cans, which they can then sell for a small profit. Often, these people have all sorts of equipment such as a long pole that they use to move items in the dumpster around.[5][6] When searching for food, a forager may come across food waste that is not entirely sealed from the unwanted waste in the same rubbish sack. This lower quality food is commonly referred to as "Scree".[7] As bugs, rodents and other disease carriers also forage in such places, there are risks associated with sourcing and eating such food.

Cooked up Fillet steak baguettes for the staff today. Fried it in rosemary and garlic oil, then a nice slathering of horseradish sauce and cheddar then popped under the grill. Yummy :-) then got home to find the folk sitting down to spaghetti and tomato sauce with green chillies and bacon. Double yummy! It has been a good day :-)

Feckin love boursin! Issue is that the gf always eats all of it. I find minute steak a bit too tough for sarnies due to the cut of meat, so i just opened up the fillet to resemble the same thing, then shredded it across the grain. I love things like steak sarnies, but i find even with a bacon sarnie i end up with half of the bacon in my mouth on the first bite.

Got a boat for this evening with my pop so gonna do some cornish pasties, get some nice cheese, bit of sliced meat, and probably a bag of scotch eggs to munch on throughout the evening :)
