Today Easter Monday is traditionally the day of leftovers and picnics, the latter obviously not to be considered for this year. Once for the holy feasts, for fear of making a bad impression, the housewives increased the amount of food to be served in a meal that included the presence of distinguished guests, although aware that this abundance would have led to “leftovers”. Risk that did not worry much at the time since there was a real culture of reuse of uneaten dishes. Every housewife, at least those of the past, prepared in their kitchen; recipes that for modesty or modesty have never been transcribed, but handed down from mother to daughter like the secrets that each family jealously keeps. A precious commodity that today is worth brushing up, because among the many evils that afflict our society, that of food waste is undoubtedly the most reckless and heavily affects every class of our society and a wise one administration of the family economy could really help improve budgets that are increasingly difficult to manage.
