[quote=Anonymous]In my experience, everyone has their quirks. I have one friend who's 80-something dad swears you should never reheat meat - not for food safety reasons but he thinks it loses its flavour. Personally, I'll reheat/eat leftovers of almost anything, except I hate hate hate reheated seafood - especially shrimp - to me, it gets rubbery. If I'm out for dinner and order a shrimp dish with pasta that I know I can't finish, I'll make a point of eating all the shrimp so I just have the pasta to take home, whereas if there's chicken in the pasta, I won't be that specific- I'll take home both chicken and pasta.

I do think there's a bit of a class/money in the family of origin to it - if you grew up with money, you don't necessarily feel compelled to eat leftovers (but you might if you think they're tasty). If you didnt, you either refuse to eat them because you had to all the time while growing up,and you're please you've risen above that and don't have to; or you feel compelled to finish them so you don't waste anything.[/quote]
