Poll: Foods that taste better when eaten as leftovers

[Double A]

Chili gets a lot better the more it's in the fridge (up to a certain point of course). However, sometimes steak tastes just plain strange. That's normally when I reheat it in the microwave, but I have found exceptions both ways. And of course, fried chicken pretty much always tastes worse when it's been in the fridge, soaking up moisture.

Does anyone else think that pizza and mac n' cheese taste better when microwaved the day after it's made?
Certain foods just taste better later on.

Strangely enough, curry does taste a bit better when room temperature.

Pizza, but depends on the brand/pizza

Lasagna... I love leftover lasagna...

I love the crackle it makes when you Nuke it in the microwave, the smell it emits when you take it's bubbling form out...

... and it tastes pretty good too...

Most have been mentioned, so I'd just like to add that on certain days (particularly hangover days) it seems I can't get enough of shitty pre-heated foods. Even fries taste good when cold at these moments.

Pepper indeed gets stronger the longer you let it stand. Love spicy food. Also, yoghurt tastes better past it's date, it even gets more, cause it's like alive.

We do this thing called Kams, it's kinda like Pitepalt. The best part is not when they are new and fresh, but the day after when you fry them. Jummy.

Cold chicken/turkey is godlike.
As is cold Steak and Kidney pie... mmmm cold S&K

I usually prefer to eat as much as I can when they are fresh but they still taste great as left over.

My mom makes these fried chicken tenders that are delicious when eaten hot, but surprisingly, even better when eaten straight out of the refrigerator. I don't know, maybe it's the contrast between the slightly spicy breading and the coolness of the actual chicken, but they are damn good leftover.

Wow. I was actually ninja'd by the first post.

Nicely done, OP...

But yeah, I second that. Currently eating left over Domino's pizza right now and loving it better than when it was fresh last night :3

Pizza is awesome when reheated in a toaster oven... Other than that basically anything wet. Like soup.

 

[drwow]

pizza cold is better then warm, ribs too.

 

[soren7550]

The only thing I can really think of is pizza. Maybe pasta. I don't know, I guess I can't tell what taste better leftover versus fresh since I'm eating leftovers all the time.

Tend to prefer things fresh but have a great deal of experience of less fresh - student lifestyle, my contribution would be that quavers taste fantastic if opened the day before, and a mix of fried rice, minced pork, soy sause and sesame oil is pretty damn good long after cooking, though pretty damn good fresh ... will experiment with this further *eats self to death*
