While freshly served food is often considered to be the most delicious, there are some food items that actually improve in flavor and texture after being stored overnight.
A user took it to the forum, and asked “What food is better as a leftover?”. Here are the top responses.
CHILI
“Any time I make chili, I never eat it fresh anymore. When it’s done I unplug the pot and let it sit for about an hour and then I put it straight into the fridge because tomorrow I am going to absolutely love myself for doing this today. Take it out the next day, plug it in, wait a couple of hours, and enjoy.”, said one user.
RICE
“We Asians always say to use a day-old rice for stir fried rice.”, said one user.
BREAD
“For Italian-Americans, stale bread is THE BEST for garlic bread.”, said one user.
GUMBO
“Gumbo is always better the next day. I add red beans and rice to that too.”, said one user.
CURRY
“Curry tastes ten times better with eggs the next day.”, said one user.
INDIAN FOOD
“Indian food hits differently after late night microwaving.”, said one user.
“The biryani that we make on a Friday, tastes 10x better on Sunday lunch”, said another user.
LASAGNA
“The flavors of the lasagna concentrate somehow and it is a lot better the next day.”, said one user.
PIZZA
“I love takeaway pizza, but there is just something about takeaway pizza left in the fridge overnight that is just perfection.”, said one user.
PASTA SALAD
“Pasta salad, once everything soaks up the dressing over the next few days, is so good.”, said one user.
SOUP
“I can leave soup out for 6 hours and it will taste a 100 times better.”, said one user.
MEATLOAF
“I think I look forward to the next day’s meatloaf sandwich more than I do to the meatloaf on that day.”, said one user.
SHEPHERD’S PIE
“Shepherds pie or cottage pie! The potatoes have time to take in all the goodness of the gravy and meat.”, said one user.
“Been having small portions of Shepherd’s Pie all for the last 2 days.”, said another user.
