Favourite Leftovers

[Wigsie]

Just polished off last nights left overs - Shepherds Pie!

I have a bit of a penchant for refridgerator cold left overs, sometimes the food taste better than the night before... Most of the time I cook extra and specifically save some food to eat cold the next day!

My favourites are;

Curry
Lasagne
Shepherds/Cottage Pie
Fajita's

Strangely enough I am not a fan of cold Pizza!

Is it just me or does anyone else skip the reheat?

As above. I did forget to put the curry in the fridge one warm night and soon learnt a lesson via the loo.

It depends. Some things I prefer to re-heat, others not. A particular favourite cold leftover for me is ratatouille, it makes an excellent salad, with a few lettuce leaves and sliced tomatoes thrown in! But alas! The ratatouille that Mrs P dishes up is so 'more'-ish, that there's seldom any left over after the first serving-up!

Stew. Served with chips the following day

I wonder if I should recount the tale of my youth, the leftover roast chicken, and a large number of Calliphora vomitoria (young'uns)...

No, perhaps better not. Some CCers may not have eaten their lunch yet...

 

[661-Pete]

How many did you eat then?

Errr... you know the old joke about "what's worse than finding a maggot in the apple you've just bitten into?"....

Cold sausage - Cumberland, of course

 

[Lizban]

Anything with chillie in I like things hotter than the Mrs so I make it medium hot to suit her taste and by the time it spends overnight in the fridge it's hotter yum yum!

I think Bolognese sauce might actually improve with being a day old.

 

[Wigsie]

Cumberland Sausage, Chilli and Bolognese all good shouts!

I always try to cook extra rice or potatoes, egg fried rice or bubble and squeak the next day

+1

Mrs KH and I think it improves if frozen, then de-frosted and re-heated.

 

[PpPete]

er ... all of the above !

Bubble and squeak! Bring it on!

Curry = Win - flavours get even better with a re-heat I reckon
Kebab = Win (as long as it's a good chicken one and has not gone soggy)
Chips = Epic Fail - they always go bad
Bolognaise = Awesome, especially spread on a (fresh) piece of toast
Sausages = yum
Chinese = hit & miss - there's some good sauces and meat, and some that turn to gelatinous gloop.
