Haven't seen the program, but I can guess! I remember my flat mate at uni hadn't a clue! She would happily eat breast meat from a roast chicken - then want the throw the rest away! Spent most of the year teaching her to cook.
I had to teach TOH how to boil an egg...
But having said that he would automatically strip a cooked chicken so as not to waste the meat - never thought to boil the carcase up to make soup though....
I'd class him as not too wasteful.
I remember when I was a kid shopping was done every Friday - so Thursday night supper was 'back of the fridge stew' - anything and everything went in. I still do that now for TOH and myself - the kids are too picky and won't eat it though
