# probably
i never came to any harm
cut off any sprouty/green bits and peel them first, i suppose

# Officially- no
Potatoes are no go once they start to sprout, and definitely if there are green patches

Unofficially- they're fine. The green bits are worth cutting off, but they're not really poisonous, it's just a combination of old wives tales and a throw away culture

# I only chuck stuff away if I can see mould.
Otherwise (especially with veg, and it's just gone a bit soft or wrinkly) it gets chopped up and made into vegetable stock which I freeze for soups and stuff.

# I waste WAY more than I used to
But in my normal state of being I use everything I can. I'm still adjusting to my new lifestyle though and it's taking a bit of getting used to

# New lifestyle?
Hmmhmm? What's all this?

# Being part of a duo
ie: can't just skip meals if I want to or make some random concoction up to use up what's in the fridge.

Well, I still do, but it has to at least be edible to others now ;)

# Hahah, that's what I used to do in previous duos
But I'm apparently a contradiction of lazier and more bothered these days

# and bread mould is fine (unless you're allergic to it)
it just tastes horrid. so you can cut off the bad bits and consume the rest with glee
(I helped save b3ta! plentyofants more ghee, vicar?, Thu 6 Dec 2007, 17:44, archived)
# Exactly.
Cut it off, toast the bread, cover it in marmite.

I can't be doing with nancying about.

# Yeah, they're fine.
Pull the sprouty bits off, peel and boil as normal.

The rule of thumb is potatoes are usually fine.

# EFFORT
You have to go outside and do things, and you get no mash at the end of it.
(I helped save b3ta! Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Thu 6 Dec 2007, 17:42, archived)
# well you do...
but you need to wait a few months to mash the new ones.
