Hi Rombi...well theres some things that are ok the next day...but i know a lot of people who will have a takeaway meal..and save the leftovers for the next day...my sister is famous for this!!...but i couldnt do that..it would put me right off!!!
But any buffet food that was left over i would pop into the fridge and eat quite happily....

Hi there. Yes we are a family that loves to get creative with leftovers for the next meal, and theres nothing wrong with it, actually sometimes it tastes better second time around, really nice if you can add to it and make it exciting, I usually make pies or omelettes out of our lefties. Great stuff.

Leftover pizza or fried chicken, thumbs up. Leftover burritos, thumbs down. In other words, I don't mind eating leftovers and sometimes like it very much. It just has to be food that can either be eaten cold or that tastes decent when re-heated!

Ewwwww! I have a real aversion for leftovers, and day-old food (or worse).
Even when its been inthe fridge, all covered up, and is perfectly fine, i just cant bring myself to eat it!
I am a bit of a fussy-eater i suppose, but its mainly with food thats been prepared then left ~ i cant even eat a sandwich i prepared myself, if its more than 30minutes or so old.. it just makes me cringe!
I have got mild OCD though, so this could be partly why i cant bear it.
I could never ever eat anything like that for breakfast! My hat goes off to you! xxx

I am not too much into eating leftovers and would never deliberately cook more to eat the next day but just the thought that so many people don't have enough or nothing to eat, makes me finish the leftovers rather than throwing them away. I hate to waste food and try my best to finish off the leftovers next day. Only when its too much for me to finish in a day or two, I grudgingly throw it away. Earlier, I used to give it away to my maid or the watchman or somebody who needs food, but these days you just can't be sure, what if somebody falls sick? That would be an added trouble, I would rather eat it myself or let it go.

I take leftover food in breakfast or lunch almost everyday, i eat that with bread and taste very good. Another reason for eating these foods is that throwing foods its not good its very precious don't u ever think that how many of poor people remain hungry and cant get food. So my advice is not to throw any leftover food or if you dont want to eat give it to some poor people.

Oh, share some of that left over pizza with me please, lol. Seriously, some foods are better the next day, usually chili's and anything with a bit of bite to it. That is why I make a big pot of it. Spaghetti for breakfast is fine with me. Throw that pork chop on a biscuit and I'm happy as a clam. Hey, where's my pizza!

I eat leftovers for breakfast more often than not. Since I live alone, I cook a good sized batch and eat off of it for several days - breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sometimes I vary it with something else I cooked earlier, but I hate to throw out food and leftover food is sometimes better than the original.

Leftovers are my favorite food. When we have company over, I always cook way too much. I eat the leftovers for breakfast too. I had spaghetti for breakfast the other day - it's even better when it sits in the fridge overnight. I had leftover chicken for breakfast this morning. Well, you get the idea..

I too like left overs. I think it is nice to have a interesting choice of what to eat the next day.

Yes most of the time specially if its meat of some kind as Ican reheat it or put it with other things to make a delicious dish. I love pizza for breakfast or lunch. Chicken is always so easyto add to veggies and pasta for a different dish. I seldom throw out food if it can be combinedd for something good to eat.
