[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who don't like leftovers grew up in homes with lousy cooks, and they themselves probably can't cook worth a damn either. That or they come from a culture of blandness -- think typical English or [b]midwestern cuisine[/b]. That food is barely edible during the first pass -- a bowl of cereal would be preferable to leftovers.

Good cooks and flavorful cuisines produce awesome leftovers. Indian food in particular tends to taste better the next day, after really marinating in the spices. Go to a black cookout, and you'll see people bringing their own containers to fix a plate to take home.

The idea on this thread that it's rude to take extra food a host offers is bizarre. It's actually more onerous for the host to find a place to store and eat (or waste) food cooked for a lot of guests. The more leftovers guests take, the faster the fridge can be cleared out and dishes washed and the kitchen feeling normal again.

It is also rude to insult other people's culture and food.  If you ate bland and boring food in the midwest, you ate something from a bad cook.  That's all.  There are many delicious dishes in the midwest.[/quote]
