Yummy Leftovers

I don't mind taking home with me our left overs whenever we eat in the resto. My husband doesn't mind, either. Sometimes, the servings were just too much for two people though my husband eats a lot. We don't want to waste such good food and our money, too. What I do love most about left overs is that I get to savour them more than when I am eating them in a resto. I can eat in a relaxing without thinking of the traffic and all.:-) some of the left overs taste better than they are freshly cooked. One example is the pasta. I love it when it is chilled a little.:-)

Hi drannhh! Nice to see you! I'm not ashamed to ask for my leftovers if there are any!lol And since Chinese Food is one of my very favorites and what I also had for dinner tonight, I love it leftover! When I was working I would cook on the weekends and make enough food for most of the week so I had leftovers to just heat up when I got home. I don't go out to eat very often and there usually isn't anything left, but if there is I sure will take it and eat it later! Most things are just as tasty leftover. The only thing I don't like reheated is pizza and I know plenty of people who disagree with me and plenty who eat it cold too. That isn't for me though~

I really like leftovers. I did not when I was a youngster, but once I was cooking on my own, I did like leftovers. Splitting a order with an extra set up is an excellent way to enjoy eating out, and not over do it. I will ask for a takeout box anywhere. I paid for the food and I am going to enjoy it. I do find certain things just seem to get better if they are leftover and reheated. I think we will do some of that tomorrow.

I never can eat all of the food I order when I go out. I always want the bread or breadsticks that you get at some restaurants and I also love the salad. I'm usually almost full by the time my entree gets to the table. LOL I am not ashamed to ask for a container to take it home. I kind of do that on purpose. It's so expensive to go out these days that I feel better to have made it into two meals instead of one.

Yes ,I like to take home the remaining food which we are not able to finish it in the restaurant.I always go to the restaurant with my hub but he doesn't like asking to pack the food,but I ask the server to pack the remaining food for us.My hub is ashamed but i am not,as what is wrong in taking back the food for which we pay.happy mylotting.

I eat leftovers most of the time and it doesn't bother me. Most of the time when I eat at a restaurant, I'm able to finish all I eat while there. If it's too much, I will ask for a container to take it home in and finish it later. I never have thought about it but I think warmed over Chinese food is good, too.

We don't mind having leftover...esp. the kids. If there's very little left, we do not ask for it to be packed....but most of the time, there's enough left over at a restaurant and we get it packed and take it home. The kids love pizza for breakfast...and if it's a spicy indian dish, we have it for lunch or dinner. The food is just the same and sometimes better if we get it to a refrigerator as soon as possible. So, we've never had a problem and we aren't ashamed to ask for a container. We paid for the whole dish, didn't we?

I've never liked leftovers, it's something I've always disliked. Once something goes cold that's it for me, I won't eat cold pizza for this reason as it just doesn't taste the same as it did. It's one of those things that some people do and some don't, certainly I tried as a kid to have it but it makes me feel sick. On the other hand my wife and our children do..

I love leftovers, I think it's good to keep clean leftovers, because it's not wasteful at all. I love eating pizzas, and sometimes my family loves to order the delivery hot-line, and there will be lots of leftovers that we tend to keep in the fridge. I think that's awesome..

Hi, drannhh. Yes, I do like leftovers. I eat this at home when I have extra food cooked in the refrigerator. It does taste so much better the next day when it is warmed up. If some of the restaurants offered doggy bags then, I would take home a lot of food. I hate to throw away good food, I would be mad.

Hello, Yes I love to eat my leftovers in the morning, especially, I love eating cold pizza, chicken, etc. Well it all depends on the food, some meals like pasta, well I have to warm it in the microwave, otherwise, cold pasta is disgusting. As for eating at a restaurant, I rarely leave my plate not finished so I don't have to bring back the remains. If one of these days this happens, well I'll be glad to ask the waitress to give me a bag to bring home. Since I have a good appetite, I always finish my plates at a fast food or restaurant. Oh if you are eating some leftover Chinese, you are so lucky and hope you are enjoying your meal.

Hi drannhh, In most of the time its true that I myself do feel bit ashamed to carry it back to my home and I never had done so,whereby it could be deemed as foolishness on my part, but yes you are very correct that the left overs do taste better on the next day specifically the food that's been home-cooked. As a matter of fact you might be surprised,that in our part of the land we have such festival("Day after SAWRASHATY PUJA"in-between January end & February middle,the end of winter season) where we or rather our females counterpart specifically do cook the food to be consumed on the next day, and we really relish it to anything,hence in such scenario even if one provides us something better or mouth watering food we generally go for the food that were prepared the previous day all together in a family.

Some foods just cannot be eaten as leftovers, such as french fries or onion rings. But there a great many that taste even better as leftover because it is the point when you are even hungrier than when you first got it. Rice for instant if put in the microwave tastes rubbery and dry. What I have done is put 1/4 teaspoon of oil in a skillet then reheat on low flame and yum taste as if just cooked.

Hi drannhh Oh yes I do love the leftovers. They don't even have to be from restarants, they can be from relatives dinners. I know when we go over to mother inlaws and she cooks I always want to aske to bring a plate home. I agree with you that leftovers always seems to taste better at home..
