A guide to the shelf-life of your festive scraps

After the build-up, the hours of cooking, and a couple of drinks, few things are better than tucking into Thanksgiving dinner. Except for the leftovers. Thanksgiving leftovers are the stuff of legend. Indeed, it is no wonder the Friends episode hinged on Ross Gellar's leftover sandwich - complete with the signature 'moist maker' - was one of the show's most successful. But how long can you hang onto those tasty scraps for? While most of us tend to guess the best-before dates, the US Agriculture Department has a website dedicated specifically to leftovers, called StillTasty.com. The site has subsections for every kind of food item, and whether it was cooked, raw, packaged, fresh - you name it. Here, to help you navigate the next few days of snacking, we have compiled a guide to everyone's favorite leftovers.
