[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Speaking as a cancer survivor, life is too damn short and fragile to eat leftovers. If you knew you were going to die in December, would you eat leftovers? Of course not. Eat well, every meal — because you never know.[/quote]

I don't understand why you view leftovers as not eating well. I'm not eating leftover KFC. I'm eating the leftovers or delicious meals made at home or in nicer restaurants from fresh, high quality ingredients. Even when we have leftover pizza, it's the leftovers of really good pizza (dough made from scratch, homemade sauce, top notch ingredients).

I eat leftovers specifically so I can avoid eating mediocre food, while also sparing me the trouble of cooking or going to a restaurant every single night.[/quote]

If I put two items in front of you, freshly made vs day old, nobody in their right mind is choosing the day old. Stop all the nonsense about food being better the next day. Sounds like boomer crap to pressure kids into eating day and two day old slop.[/quote]

different poster than you responded to

I think it greatly depends on what the two items are.  If it’s fresh baked bread, hot from the oven, versus stale day-old bread, I absolutely agree that everyone would choose the fresh bread.  On the other hand, assuming proper food handling procedures have been followed, I’d rather have lasagna which was cooked the day before, as I think it has better flavor.

Generally speaking, I think casseroles (like lasagna), soups, stews, and other dishes that meld favors from different ingredients tend to benefit from allowing those ingredients the extra time to combine.  Here’s a Food Network article that lists various foods that they think are better the day after they’re prepared.

Soups stews and casseroles are all traditionally peasant foods. How often are you making those at your house in 2025?[/quote]

What? Multi-course meals often have a soup course.  Formal china includes a soup bowl.  Soup isn't peasant food...[/quote]
