Thanks all for sharing the ideas. I think the lesson is just should not cook too much. As you may know, most albergue require guests to check out by 8am and everyone would want to walk early. Having it as breakfast and lunch seem don't seem to make sense unless it is something dry. Anyway, noted. Thanks. It is good to know what most foods will be eaten if left in fridge. Very happy to know that. Because sometimes I only use 2 eggs and I bought 10 eggs. Good to know it won't be thrown away. All is good. For cooked foods, personal opinion I think it is better to throw away if not eaten in 1 hour. It may cause foods positioning etc due to poor handling etc. It can be quite a mess when the albergues are packed and some people are cooking big feast and other people are queuing to use kitchen. Anyway, I think what makes sense in one place may not make sense in other place due to culture, circumstances, convenience etc.If you have made too much food with good and healthy ingredients, surely you can eat it the next day for breakfast and lunch?
So long as it is refrigerated promptly there should be no problem, and as @Rebekah Scott said, put the date on it.For cooked foods, personal opinion I think it is better to throw away if not eaten in 1 hour. It may cause foods positioning etc due to poor handling etc.
I doubt that the reason was that they didn't like vegetarian food. Most non-vegetarians eat lots of vegetarian food. They likely had other plans for their meals.I am a vegetarian, no one is interested to eat my vegetarian food.
Great idea, and, I would add the date when it was made to the label.In my experience as a hospitalera, just cover it and leave it in the refrigerator. You can put a note on it "Free for pilgrims; Please enjoy!" and someone will eat it.
Yes, there was a thread on this a while back. Basically the Xunta albergues don't have anything in the wonderful kitchens and have not for several years. Not sure about other places. Some blamed pilgrims for the lack of tools and some blamed Covid.I finished walking the VDLP earlier this month and was so disappointed to see that several albergues had beautiful kitchens, but without cooking utensils, crockery or cutlery. Is this a new trend? It would have been so good to be able to make a meal, especially in places where there were no nearby restaurants. Sorry - I’m branching off the subject here. Hope you don’t mind.
...kitchens, but without cooking utensils, crockery or cutlery. Is this a new trend?
It has been true for years for the newer junta albergues in Galicia. Elsewhere, the situation was variable, and Covid measures complicated things. For further discussion, try putting "kitchen utensils" into the search feature. Here are a couple of threads to start: one about the Camino Frances, another about the Portuguese, and another focusing on the Sanabres.there was a thread on this a while back. B

Not just carnivores.Carnivores generally dislike such replacement stuff as tofu and so on, and you will not attract people to your food preparation by using it. Sorry, but just how it is.
If you make veggie food in Europe, stick as close as possible to the traditional vegetable dishes of the West
I probably wouldn't, but I know those who would!Really? Would anyone eat food they do not know the provenance of?

I always am happier after I have seen a photo of a dog!!! Hello, Fuji!!When I was in this situation before, I made omelette for breakfast the next day, with some of the veggies from the previous night, and the plain leftover spaghetti I decided to add on top of the omelettethe rest of the eggs I boiled, and boiled eggs and cheese make such yummy lunch. And then I saw Fuji (my dog) drooling next to my random leftover “gado-gado” meal, so she had the leftover of that too! Sometimes honestly, I think why I’m carrying her doggie food when she’s happy sharing my omelette.
I think food goes off in our tropical countries a lot more quickly because of the heat and humidity. I think if you put them in some Tupperware boxes and then in the fridge, they’d be okay! And cold pasta for lunch is okay too.

I am not saying sharing with people you know, am talking about strangersHave you been to university in the UK? (Your profile gives no clue as to your provenance)
Me too.I am not saying sharing with people you know, am talking about strangers
Also US offices. Put something for your lunch in the fridge and the break room--and hope it is still there at lunch, let alone the next day. Scavengers.Me too.
Leave food in a ‘halls of residence’ fridge overnight; chance of it being there in the morning close to zero.
So back to your question, on a sample of one: ‘yes’.
The morning clean-up crew at the Xunta Albergue in Pontevedra, FWIW, when I was there this Autumn, just cleared out everything in the fridge and other leftovers to bin the lot, so I just grabbed whatever leftovers I wanted before heading out, secure in the knowledge that it was just hours old.If you have been staying in an albergue, please ask the hospitalero before you leave left over or uneaten food in the fridge otherwise you are probably making extra work for someone who is already quite busy. Can I be a grouch and say 'don't cook too much'? Think before you cook and offer extra food before you cook it.
You are both talking about theft of someones food, a colleague, a fellow student, a friend. Without comment on that being wrong, the thread is about a random stranger leaving food behind for some unknown to eat. I would not eat it, or drink something left behind. Yes, it will probably be fine (barring possible food poisoning from undated "snacks") but why risk it?Also US offices.

Cook less. I would never eat unknown leftovers in someone else's fridge. I'd rather skip dinner and wait for breakfast. It's bad enough to recover from food poisoning at home. It's not worth the risk.In the small country where I live where there is only one city, we have app that people can share foods and stuffs. I always cooked too much in my camino trips being vegetarian and unable to find foods on winter. I do not know who to share the foods. People in the albergue who eat meats just don't want my foods. So I end up throwing away where I really put lots of good and healthy ingredients. Like now in Muxia, I cooked too much fresh tomatoes pastas (assorted veges type) with fresh green vegetables.
