Good people,

I am sure this may seem strange to some folks, but many times, food tastes even better on the second day after it was prepared. Since I eat alone most of the week, I just love - no, it's not laziness - having a plate of yesterday's food.

Some people actually take the leftover food and make it into a different dish, but I just eat it in the way it was initially prepared.

How about you ? :)
 
I too am a big fan of leftovers ...... I think it's because the different flavours have had more time to get to know each other that it tastes so much better. Sometimes I have it as is, other times I'll make another dish from it :D
 
Stews, Roast meats and curries aside, for the life of me I can't understand why anyone would want to serve leftovers the very next day, apart from the mother-in-law.

:sick::sick:

Usually my aunt makes a whole new dish with leftovers. Those dishes taste better than the original.
 
i can understand putting it in the fridge, and warming it the next day, if it was sealed properly...but for the life of me i can't understand who would turn it into another dish?!

what?
Today: Steak and chips
Tomorrow: Swarma and mashed potatoes?

Today: Hake and mash
Tomorrow: fish cakes and hashbrowns?
 
We sometimes use leftover food as part of a new meal.. Sometimes we make for eg: Spagetti and mince.. And there is spagetti left over, so the next day we will put some cheese, mushrooms, and ham in it.

Or we have veggies with rice and fish and there are veggies left over, which we then have the next night with mash and sausage..

I almost always try and cook enough for lunch the next day...otherwise its takeaways etc. i also don't bother to much with sandwiches as bread seems to go off if there are just 2 people in the house. As Natasha said, sometimes we have noodles or a salad left, nothing better than adding some tuna/ham/steak strips etc. and making a salad for lunch the next day.
 
I don't have a problem with leftover food, but somehow leftover potatoes just don't taste right.
 
I make potato salad with boiled eggs in it, so 3rd day is a bit of a "no-no" for me.. Potato salad is also great with gherkins or peas..

Spagetti and mince on bread is the best :)
 
I just love left-overs.

left-over potatoes can taste leka the next day, provided that it gets heated properly under the grill (in oven). otherwise it just tastes bleg
