Remember, now this is quite specific to a meal made of the leftovers that were ingredients of meals madeof leftovers from the previous two weeks.
Its good to have a word for every occasion , but in this case, Ill just let it go.

sorry to screw up the page
but go look for yourself.
Think theres a longer word out there? (English now) I know we can probably make a valid word in German that would beat that.

Yeah-
I've seen it done often. Scientists play that game during extended coffee breaks at $40 an hour. They like chanting scientific words strings. Not that I've anything against that mind you.
Can you do one as long as a Latin credo. That used to sound like one word to me and though I didn't understand it it gave me respect for the priest and when I later saw him join two people in Holy Matrimony I felt they were annealed and they generally were.
Here's a good word for that: grandiloquent. Hope it's the word you were looking for.

Yah, so, it isn't the word in my mind, scouring my mind as we talk. Bombastic has a connotation in usage of, y'know, Mussolini at his balcony in piazza Venezia. Not for use of multiply syllabic words of some intellectual import, or perhaps obfuscation.
As with others here, as with some character in "Alice in Wonderland" as I vaguely recall, the words I use mean exactly what I say they mean. No more, no less.
So, then, don't EVER run around claiming that I use words incorrectly, see?
