    I usually love leftovers but it does depend on what it is. Some things just aren't good the next day.

    Things like french fries or nachos are never really good the next day, but I love most leftovers! I'm planning to get Chinese food tonight and then eat it again tomorrow!

    totally ate my peruvian leftovers and they were faaaaaaantastic. agree with ALSW...nachos, definitely gotta let go after initial consumption. i've found that most asian food is the best for leftovers. italian, too. i always try to keep halves of sandwiches, but those only keep for a few hours usually. soggy babies :[

    I grew up in a no leftovers household (my mom grew up in one too, who knows, she thinks they're gross), but now that I'm an adult (kinda) I'm learning to eat delicious leftovers whenever I please. Smiling

    It depends. Homemade soups, stews, chili, cassaroles and Italian are ussually good if not better the next day. Soggy stuff is gross. Asian is good. I live with four males so sometimes there aren't any!

    We always take our leftover fajitas and use them the next morning with our eggs.

    Red, sounds tasty!

    Some leftovers are obviously better than others. But they are so great for a quick snack!

    I had no idea there were people who didn't. My family is far from poor, but throwing away food is still something you Do Not Do. If worst comes to worst, there's always the compost heap. Or the dogs.

    Throwing food away is a taboo in my family as well. If you can eat it, if it tastes decent, why not eat the leftovers?

    It depends. I agree about the mac and cheese. it makes gross leftovers. I don't like to waste food but If it something that i know we won't reheat i will throw it away or else i find it months later stuck in the back of the fridge and moldy. Sad

    I usually pack stuff up and it sits in my fridge until I have to scrape it down the disposal.

    That's because The Man says he will take them for lunch, but leaves them so he can eat fast food.

    Some things, like spaghetti I like as leftovers. I LOOOOOVE taco leftover day!!

    I never had to eat leftovers growing up, though. Now my mom has my teen bro and sis and it seems like that's all they ever eat (I always wonder when they MAKE the food in the first place.)

    Grilling extra chicken breasts make for great leftovers because you can use them for fajitas, chicken salad, caesar salads, etc.

    I am a leftover person. I love taking them to work because they leave me much more satisfied than sandwiches. However, there are some foods that I just can't eat again. My faves are pizza, taco meat, stroganoff, and sloppy joes. Smiling

    I do lots of leftovers for lunch. It just depends on the food. Somethings are even better after they sit for a while.

    (I was wanting an excuse to use that guy)

    Leftover pizza is the best, always order extra so there will be some for days.

    Speaking of leftover pizza, if you reheat it in a skillet over medium-low heat, it's even better than it is the first time around. It may take a little longer, but it's definitely worth it. Drool

    Leftover pizza and spaghetti are great leftovers. Fries and nachos and some sandwiches are terrible leftovers. I'll usually eat leftovers but my bf hates them.

    My lunch almost every is some form of the previous night's dinner. Homemade lasagna is best on about day 2!

    I love leftovers - but only for certain foods. Some foods taste even better the next day and some... are just gross!

    I love leftovers, but my boyfriend hates them. If he had his way, I'd have cook him an entire meal every time he got hungry at 1 am. I can't believe people think that they're gross. Is it a germ thing? Most foods taste just as good, if not better the next day.

    Not seafood, or fried items (they lose their crispiness and become chewy and soggy, yuck!)
