I've heard people who don't "do" blood rationalize the
deliciousness of drippings and juice by saying that it's not
blood, it's intramuscular fluid. Whatever.

It's not just the fat and trimmings, sometimes there are whole
pieces of chicken (as others have pointed out) and slices of
meat that go uneaten. I avoid such behavior, even when the stuff
tastes not so good: it has to be really, really bad before I will
waste it.

The dressing in question was white, which prevented my being
curious enough to taste it. White dressings are poison to me
as a generalization.

She also tossed a whole pork tenderloin (!) and assorted other
unwanted things. I don't want her to descend into penury, but as
long as she can buy whatever she wants whenever she wants, there
will be substantial waste in the household.

Ulva Soup
cat: soup, seaweed
Serves: 6 to 8

1/2 c fresh ulva fronds
2 qt water
1/2 c carrots, chopped
1/2 c leftover cooked chicken, diced
2 Tb soy sauce
1/2 ts cracked black pepper

Use Ulva lactuca or substitute with various species of Ulva.

Ulva creates a very nice soup base and background flavor for
most clear soups. Wash and clean the Ulva thoroughly in
lukewarm fresh water. Remove any small snails that may be
feeding on the blades. Boil the carrots in the water until
they are tender. Cut the Ulva into 1" squares and drop into
the boiling soup. Add the diced chicken. Simmer gently 5 min
more. Season. Serve.
