Who does that!!
I'm away with friends and last night we had curry and pizza delivered. Ordered too much and quite a lot was left.
I've just got up and was thinking a slice of cold pizza would go down well with this hangover ....... to discover it is all IN THE BIN. Shock

MajesticSeaFlapFlap · 19/12/2015 08:23

But pizzas supposed to mature in the fridge overnight ready to cure the hangover in the morning!Xmas Shock

BeyondJinglebells · 19/12/2015 08:24

Rarely dh and i agree on a LTB scenario, but this is one where we do

Shock wtf is wrong with them?!?!?!

I do, I think it is rank to eat takeaway food the next day.

Enjolrass · 19/12/2015 08:24

My mum does this.

She seems to think that takeaways have a higher chance of giving her food poisoning.

Personally I wouldn't have a takeaway if is suspected I wasn't getting freshly cooked food.

What is leftover pizza? never had that in my household of greedy pigs.

Janeymoo50 · 19/12/2015 08:26

Cold pizza (and mayo) is the best hangover cure ever (plus flat Sprite). I freeze left over Chinese/Indian takeaways, rice too!! Maybe it was done when drink had been taken?

icelollycraving · 19/12/2015 08:26

I wouldn't be eating leftover takeaway either.

TheHouseOnTheLane · 19/12/2015 08:27

Ew. I always bin it. It's crusty and rank the next day!

MyballsareSandy2015 · 19/12/2015 08:28

I'm trying to stop myself from hammering on bedroom doors weeping.

Never a good idea to reheat takeaway rice - common source of food poisoning. Pizza is fine though. Write a strong letter of complaint.

MyballsareSandy2015 · 19/12/2015 08:29

Can't believe how many of you do this!!

Iamnotloobrushphobic · 19/12/2015 08:29

Probably me being paranoid but...how can you be sure that a takeaway has been freshly cooked and is therefore safe to keep for eating another day?

What....? But why?

Were you tempted to take it out the bin.....Xmas Wink ?

fieldfare · 19/12/2015 08:30

Anything other than rice is fine to nuke the next day. Make sure it's thoroughly piping hot all the way through and it'll be fine.
It's a travesty!!!

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 19/12/2015 08:31

l love cold morning after curry, morning after Chinese is even better.

happystory · 19/12/2015 08:31

I'm planning Chinese duck pancakes for lunch !

blueandgreendots · 19/12/2015 08:32

Totally with you OP, I'd be gutted. You can't beat leftover takeaway

Cookingongas · 19/12/2015 08:32

Oh god. These people are not your friends - the world us split into two kinds of people, normal people like you and me who appreciate the finer things in life, and these abominable takeaway nazis.

Poor poor unappreciated pizza

Enjolrass · 19/12/2015 08:33

Why would you be ordering from a takeaway of you weren't sure it was freshly cooked?

The rice I can see the point as they may have cooked it off and reheated it. I can't eat rice so it's never a concern

ValancyJane · 19/12/2015 08:33

Friends don't do that. LTB immediately!!! Clearly there is no way you can ever move past this.

MyballsareSandy2015 · 19/12/2015 08:33

Yes I did have a fleeting moment when I thought about rescuing it from the bin!!

IamSantaClaus · 19/12/2015 08:34

I do this Hmm I can't stand the smell of pizza or curry in the morning . Breakfast pizza is so wrong ... Runs away.

MyballsareSandy2015 · 19/12/2015 08:35

I've known these people 20 years!!!
They're still snoring away while I'm raging.
My teens are going to be absolutely horrified when they emerge from their pits.
