The ridiculousness of, of… wasting food while half of the people of the world are starving, that's just not right. Rub and Stub is a food waste concept restaurant based in Copenhagen that takes excess food from the food industry and turn it into a delicious meal.
My name’s Ditte and I'm a volunteer chef. The restaurant started by me and a group of eight to nine young people got together and talked about how we can minimize food waste in Copenhagen. In Denmark the problem is actually so big that they, they estimate that round half a million tons of food is thrown out every year which amounts to 8.4 billion krone or almost one billion pounds with the food that could have been eaten. We serve food from our menu that is made day to day well.
Well, tonight's menu is gonna be baked Brussels sprouts with the… with the yellow beetroot and, we actually the vegetarian dish is going to be dhal and I think the potatoes and carrots would go nicely in the down to give it to volume and good taste.
I lot of the food we get from the food industry is thrown out by the food industry due to the expiry dates and there's nothing wrong with the food, but we are only allowed to take in food that hasn't expired yet and if there's only a couple of days left before it expires. We can maybe we can freeze it and use it for another three months.
