Conversation between fruits and vegetables on Food wastage

Had the time come for a big reveal, or was it better to let our guests eat their dumpster dinner in blissful ignorance? My husband and I whispered anxiously in the kitchen trying to decide as our guests sat down for Thanksgiving dinner. To serve with our store-bought meat, we’d prepared a myriad of dishes including mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, roasted squash, salad, and a “vegducken” – which despite my best attempts ended up as a pan of roasted vegetables – all made at least in part from dumpster produce.
Three days earlier, we had gone for our first dumpster dive. Under the cover of darkness, we’d left our home in Berkeley, CA around 10:00 PM with two experienced friends to see what stores were throwing out. When I peered into my first dumpster, I was disappointed. It was filled with the orange peel remnants of fresh squeezed orange juice and rotting lettuce. But as I began to dig just a little bit (gloves are highly recommended!), I started pulling out potatoes. One after another that looked just like the ones I would buy from the store. Then I found some apples and eggplant and grew incredulous at the waste right before my eyes. In the three dumpsters we searched through that night, we recovered more than 50 potatoes, bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, asparagus, bananas, apples galore, way more bagels than we could eat filling garbage bags and much more. We got home with a few cardboard boxes full of our treasures and gave it all a good wash. This was our inaugural dumpster dive and we were in awe, but to our veteran friends, this was just another attempt to put the tiniest dent into the amount of perfectly edible food wasted.
