I made meatloaf on Sunday for when my MIL was here for dinner, so
we've had leftovers for a couple of days. I keep thinking meatloaf

What leftovers do you like best?

In general, I don't like them. Meatloaf is one exception as I prefer it
cold and on sandwiches. Also roast beef. I have no idea what cottage rolls
are.

Leftovers usually become my lunch the next day or so. We like meatloaf
sandwiches too!

Roast beef often become hash for weekend breakfast.

Sometimes we'll cut up the meat, be it chicken, beef, or pork and make a
one dish meal by adding some tomato sauce and cheese. Works with rice
and veggies too.

Yes, I do that too. I like to use dice pork and use with a sweet and sour
sauce over rice.

Cold meats and potato salad, but I don't suppose they should be considered
leftovers The only way I can eat minced meats is when they are in a
sauce like Bolognese. I just can't get on with burgers or meatloaf They
look so good too. I made meatloaf and the family loved it but ... not for
me.

What are cottage rolls?

I like meatloaf sandwiches too. Even better though for me is to just
heat the meatloaf up again the next day for leftovers along with the
same sides, like mashed potatoes, vegetable (corn is a favorite).

Mr.TIAD here likes all leftovers. Living alone now, I never cook a
meal just for one. I'll cook for 2-4. I'll eat one leftover the next
day and freeze the rest for an easy microwaved dinner some busy night.

Meatloaf and lasagna, are two things that I never freeze. I love them
so much, I'll eat for days until it's all gone.

Yep, that's what I do with meatloaf. Just reheat it (or freeze it) with
the veggies the meatloaf was served with. Or cook some fresh veggies if
I happened to eat the others.

Lasagna works for me. Ditto cabbage rolls, although I haven't made
those in years.

Exactly what I do. I tend to cook enough for four people on weekends
and stash some in the freezer for when I don't feel like cooking.

I don't eat that much. And unlike some folks believe, I when I cook big
meals I am not forced to eat the same thing day in, day out until it is
gone. That's why I have a freezer. So I can stash leftovers and pull
something out when I don't feel like cooking. Home-cooked. Thaw, heat,
eat. I like leftovers.

I'm not about buying "cooking for one" books. I don't cook for one, I
cook for four and use my freezer.

Cottage rolls are delish! I think they might be a Canadian thing.

Never seen such a thing here. What do you do with the meat after it's
cooked? Just eat it plain?

Seems to be only pork shoulder with salt and sugar, plus
preservatives.

Cottage roll seems to be a cured, unsmoked pork shoulder. Generally
(WARNING! GROSS GENERALIZATION)
anything that's cured is also smoked.

I once had a "cottage ham" that we got at a butcher in Cincinnati.
It was cured and smoked pork shoulder, and was just delicious.

I don't much care for the taste of reheated meat. McGee (On Food
and Cooking) describes the reheated meat taste in food science
terms.


When I grill chicken or salmon, I make extra and eat the leftovers cold,
on a salad or in a sandwich. The cooked salmon is marinated in
thinly sliced sweet onion, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper,
and dill (if I have it on hand or remember to buy it when I get
the salmon). I dump the whole thing on a pile of salad greens,
and the marinade forms the dressing.

Once in a while I'll reheat chicken in some of my homemade barbecue
sauce and make a sandwich of that. The hot and tangy sauce covers
up the reheated taste of the chicken.

Doesn't look like it to me but the only pork that I'll eat is really crisp
bacon.

The sailors during the Napoleonic era would disagree! They lived on
salt-cured pork.
The village butcher when I lived at home would occasionally cure pork
that way. Mum cooked some once but it was not as good as his salt beef.

My Father once made himself a sandwich of leftover beef stew as a late
night snack. So Mum would make them for his lunch at work. One day, a
truck driver went into Dad's office and, in the course of conversation,
said that he hadn't had lunch so Dad gave him one of his sandwiches. The
guy raved about it and soon all the other drivers were getting their
wives to make them stew sandwiches.

I like leftover chicken strips, cold out of the refrigerator.
I always make extra.

Lasagna. Chicken catch. Pasta sauce.

We used to eat cottage rolls when I was a kid. It was a completely different product than yours. Ours was a cured, smoked, shoulder meat that was formed into a cylinder. We would slice it thinly and fry it and have it for breakfast. It was probably poor man's ham. Some of the pieces would be pretty gnarly, with gristle and veins. I see it in the store sometimes but it seems kind of expensive for a weird meat roll. As I recall, it was a product of Canada.

I'm not a big leftover fan, but I like leftover rotisserie chicken
because I can turn it into tortilla soup or chicken chili, depending
on how much there is and of course the carcass is turned into stock.
I try to cook the biggest corned beef I can find because I love
corned beef hash and I cook the biggest pork butt but I can find
because I can turn it into so more meals that aren't repeats of what I
served at first.

Okay, how is Cottage Roll traditionally prepared?

I can't think of any left overs I don't like so it would be very
difficult for me to choose a favorite, in fact most of the foods I've
cooked are on-purpose left overs. If I had to choose I'd have to say
left over Chinese take out, cold and congealed from the fridge.

That's not true, there are several cured meats that are not smoked;
some Canadian bacon is smoked some not, procuitto and pancetta are not
smoked.
http://www.thekitchn.com/whats-the-d...lligence-79111
Some cured fish isn't smoked, many are just pickled (vinegar), salted
or brined. Many meats are cured simply by just salting and drying, no
smoking.

On a tonnage basis, I'd say that smoked bacon and smoked ham render
all of the cured, unsmoked meats as negligible.

You take it out of its plastic wrap, cover with water, and boil it for
a couple of hours. After it has boiled I like to put it in a roasting
pan, glaze with mustard and brown sugar, then put it in the oven until
the outside carmelizes.

A top one is home made chili after the flavors have really blended.

Lumpia also blends better (at least the recipe I make), minched cold
and crunchy (just dont cover when you fridge it)

Home made soups blend better over days

Don's version of fried breaded squid. Excellent hot, its even better
chilled later!

What bread do you use? I have a recipe for a mustard bread with a bit
of wasabi that we think well of for that. I make them into smallish
buns.

Jill, I will look for the link but I got some really nice freezer
containers off Amazon that came in a 10 pack and have 3 compartments.
If you carry them sideways the compartments will mix but if left in
normal horizontal they work fine.

I think that is what I got. I take them frozen to work then cook still
frozen later and dishwasher them. Been using the same set for close to
a year now with no losses.

Actually the unsmoked cured meats far outweigh the smoked... just in
pepperoni/bologna/salamis alone, most cured sausage and cold cuts are
not smoked , and then all the poultry... and if you counted herrings,
salmon, and other seafood fergedaboudit. Most of the planet's cured
meats are not smoked. Don't get hung up on American breakfast bacon,
most cured pork bellies are not smoked, neither are most cured hams.
If you went through a list of the hundreds of cured deli meats you'd
discover that pitifully few are smoked, most deli ham is not smoked, I
buy a lot of deli/boiled ham, most are not smoked, honey cured is more
popular. Most country ham isn't smoked either.

Naturally the dwarf will be around soon to disagree but don't take
shorty seriously, his butt is double smoked with weed.

What the heck is wrong with preservatives? Don't they help prevent
people from getting sick and dying from tainted foods. What's nasty
about that?

Used to be a show on some kid's channel that was set in Seattle. Not sure
if it was really filmed here or not. They were always making spaghetti
tacos on it. Angela kept begging me for some so I finally made them one
day. They were actually pretty good!

I forgot about baked potatoes. When I make those, I always make extra. You
can do a lot with those.

Sounds like a plan *except*... doesn't the boiling for a couple of
hours leech out most of the pork flavor? I think I would prefer to
cook it long, low and slow in an oven. ?

The Okinawan cook will boil pork, then drain off the meat, and then continue cooking with fresh water. My auntie explained that this is done because pork is a dirty meat. OTOH, it is tasty.

I bought a set of 3 compartment trays with lids too...about 20 years
ago. Don't know how many I started with but I still have 3 with lids.

Mine a Micro-Tray made in the USA by Sunshine Products in Cerritos,
CA.

Good trays to freeze homemade dinners to use on work days when time is
an issue.

Thanks! I have a bunch of divided containers, not like those. Mine are
like this:

http://www.amazon.com/Microwave-Divi.../dp/B0033XTEEO

The description doesn't say they're freezer containers but I've been
using them that way for a couple of years now with no problems.

All of the online recipes say to boil it. Boiling leaches out the
brine, but not the flavour.
