Entertainment channel Dave has announced the launch of a new pop-up restaurant - Big Zuus Big Eatery which promises to serve up a delicious three-course dinner based entirely on the food Brits are most likely to waste.
The restaurant is the brainchild of award-winning chef and presenter Big Zuu and was created in response to new research which reveals that a huge 83% of us admit to wasting food on a regular basis. The project aims to educate the public on recycling unused food items to help reduce waste.
TV channel Dave surveyed 2,000 British adults to shine a spotlight on the nations food waste revealing that two thirds (69%) of us throw out food because its too much effort to make new meals from leftovers, while 87% admit they regularly forget about the items theyve bought until theyve gone off.
Menu items curated by Big Zuu, which will be available at the restaurant, include salted cod & monkfish croquettes with tzatziki and focaccia dough marinara pizza with romesco sauce. Top 10 most wasted food items:
Vegetables
Bread
Yogurt
Milk
Fruit
Eggs
Cheese
Chicken
Fish
Bacon
The research from Dave found that more than two thirds of respondents (67%) struggle when trying to create meals from leftover food.
Brits throwaway £18,600 worth of food in a lifetime, with over 1 billion eggs discarded annually. On average, 8 Olympic-sized swimming pools worth of vegetables are chucked out by households a month, whilst a fifth of apples bought are never eaten.*
Big Zuu said,
Food waste is a huge issue in the UK and I want to help people reduce their waste by creating delicious meals from the stuff they might be about to throw out! Forget your tired, boring attempts at leftovers, because Im about to show you how to spice up those everyday ingredients you forget to use. Come down to my new joint and experience the peng eats weve created that are sure to awaken your tastebuds.
