DH says it’s fine to put a slice of left over pizza in DD2’s packed lunch tomorrow. I say it’s disgusting. WIBU?

I wouldn’t like it. But then again I can’t eat cold rice or pasta dishes but I like everything hot.

MyDcAreMarvel · 30/01/2018 19:42

Dominos is the best breakfast ever .

Grumpbum · 30/01/2018 19:42

Sounds good to me, my DS is trying to convince me he can take the crumble and chocolate custard he made at cookery club tonight for his lunch tomorrow

iveburntthetoast · 30/01/2018 19:42

Update: apparently he’s sending a little tub of garlic mayo for her dip it in. Envy - bleugh

Love leftover dominos out the fridge with a garlic and herb dip mmm

x2boys · 30/01/2018 19:43

I quite like cold kebab and curry too? Grin

Cold pizza is a marvellous breakfast after a somewhat boozy evening.
Or an evening without booze.
So there.

Italian pizza is best when it’s fresh and hot, but is perfectly fine cold.

Dominos, Pizza Hut et al are better cold on the next day.

TheDowagerCuntess · 30/01/2018 19:45

Cold pizza is grim - congealed cheese?

But if she's happy, and it's not an every day staple, no issue.

Blackteadrinker77 · 30/01/2018 19:45

My kids would have loved your husband to prep their lunch.

mindutopia · 30/01/2018 19:45

I think it's fine if she likes it. It's not quite the same, but mine isn't crazy about breakfast foods. She won't eat toast at all in any form. She'll eat some cereal but I hate the idea of feeding her nothing but cereal every morning. Eggs are hit and miss. She likes overnight chia oats (I know!), but not really porridge that's cooked. Anyway, sometimes I give her a small slice of leftover pizza from the day before and either carrot sticks or a piece of fruit. It's sort of gross for breakfast, but it's probably better than most cereals and at least has some protein and calcium in it and she gets a good serving of fruit or veg with it.

I agree OP.

BertrandRussell · 30/01/2018 19:47

We have this for breakfast every Sunday. I make pizza from scratch every Saturday night and make sure there’s enough for leftovers.

BertrandRussell · 30/01/2018 19:48

“But if she's happy, and it's not an every day staple, no issue.”

Why not every day? Some people have a cheese sandwich every day.......

SugarMiceInTheRain · 30/01/2018 19:54

My kids love leftover pizza for their packed lunch!

Steaksauce · 30/01/2018 19:55

Cold left over pizza for lunch the next day is my main motivation for getting a takeaway pizza tbh.

WaxOnFeckOff · 30/01/2018 19:57

Bread, cheese and tomato (and maybe other stuff), seems fine to me.

BigcatLittlecat · 30/01/2018 19:57

It is the one sinful thing I admit to, (eating cold pizza) but there are many others that I don't admit to either!

Leftover pizza is yum. I see no issue at all.

oblada · 30/01/2018 19:58

Oooh I'm so glad I'm not the only one loving cold pizza for lunch the next day!!! I thought I was a weirdo and needed to hide from my colleagues at lunch time!! Yay!

Mollie85 · 30/01/2018 19:58

Cold pizza is better than hot pizza.

however I also eat cold super noodles

I'll get my coat....

Enko · 30/01/2018 20:01

@iveburntthetoast The idea makes me feel sick.

Never have I wanted a like button as much as for that comment. I am with you completely and think its awful. (Never caved on it in lunch boxes either - but did on them having it in the fridge the next day)

expatinscotland · 30/01/2018 20:03

Yes, YABU

Mum2OneTeen · 30/01/2018 20:04

Cold pizza is great. Better than hot imo, great for school lunches!
