Takeaway leftovers for breakfast - better the day after?!

[Schuyler]

AIBU to think takeaway leftovers for breakfast are the best part of a takeaway? Please help settle the debate in my house. Yes, it was delicious for dinner last night but chow mien in my pyjamas for breakfast is the absolute best!

YANBU

i always order a bit more so can have leftovers the next day

Pizza, reheated and eaten with hot sauce for breakfast is amazing. Same with curry. Chinese nope, and I bet you ate it cold didn't you OP

My favourite is curry the next day, though I do love a chinese

@Sparklfairy

I did eat it cold. How did you know?

Yanbu.

Just finished last night’s curry for breakfast!

Chow mien, naan dipped in left over curry or pizza is the BEST the day after

Pizza yes, chow mein no.

Yum I’m the only one in my family who does this, they think I’m buts

Nuts

I've just had leftover chow mein but I did reheat it. I'm not a complete animal!

My favourite lunch is Indian takeaway Dahl and a tanoori roti from the night before! Followed only by crisps and coleslaw on well fired morning rolls but that's a different thread.

It's had a chance overnight to let the flavours develop and it usually thickens overnight so it isn't as soupy (not all Dahl are obviously)

Definitely not cold though!

No, I don't get that at all.

It needs to be hot and fresh.

I rarely have leftovers from the Chinese or Indian because I married a human garbage disposal. He will eat his whole dish, then look longingly at mine until I get full halfway through

I do always order a large pizza though, so I can have the soggy, microwaved leftovers for breakfast.

@amusedbush put the leftover pizza in the oven for 5 mins at 180 degrees with a bowl of water.
SO much better than microwaved - I promise you.

Who is voting you’re being unreasonable and why 😱 leftovers are the best. Hot or cold.
Pizza, Chinese, Indian.....I’ve just started slavering 😂

Hell, yes. I’ve just eaten the leftover popadoms with lime pickle and mango chutney for breakfast

Who is voting you’re being unreasonable

Deviants, that’s who.

🤢 Disgusting. I would happily eat it for lunch or dinner though. I just have very strict rules about what can be eaten for breakfast (only for myself, I don't enforce these rules on everyone in the family 😉)

I love next day pizza, especially Domino's. Sadly, it very rarely makes it past the evening.

@GiveHerHellFromUs

Oh, you misunderstand. I LIKE it squidgy and microwaved

Why can't anyone spell this morning? 🙈

Chow MEIN

@crustycrab only 4 of us plus you have used the word. 2 spelt it right and 2 spelt it wrong, probably thanks to autocorrect. Calm down.

Nope.

@Schuyler YABU. Eating last night's Chinese or Indian takeaway for breakfast is minging.

We do have it tucked away in the fridge to finish off tonight though.
