[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Put yourself in the shoes of an average UMC or rich person. They take your (let's assume) high-quality leftovers home and put them in the fridge. Leftovers aren't a breakfast item, so they're pushed into lunchtime or dinner (perhaps upwards of 24 hours later).

If you have a fridge and pantry full of fresh food, why would you reach for a day-old plate of lousy microwaved food?

It's very rare that I'm so blown away by someone's food that I want more of it from the microwave the next day -- outside of maybe a spectacular soup or chili, which will reheat well?

Exception would be cookies and desserts, which don't require reheating and are generally still very good the next day. I will absolutely devour a good piece of chocolate cake, cheesecake, pumpkin pie, or apple tart the next day. But I'd never want anything like sloppy trays of cobbler, cream pies, whipped cream desserts which always look sad after sitting out and then scooped into to-go trays.[/quote]
I'm UMC/rich and grew up UMC/rich. I've always eaten leftovers. Rich people don't get rich by throwing away perfectly edible food.[/quote]
