Takeaway leftovers for breakfast - better the day after?!

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!

I can't!

Cold curry for breakfast is the best. Anything else, nah

I recently managed to wangle a series of offers and discounts which got me £45 worth of Chinese and Indian food for £30.

All my meals for several days were AMAZING!!

YADNBU OP!

Left over take away pizza for breakfast, yum!! Has to be cold though, can't be dealing with that microwaved soggy shite🍕😋

Curry for breakfast is a primary reason for curry for dinner

Whack all leftovers into a frying pan together 👍🏻

Ohhhhh I love a takeaway the next day!

Pizza, cold, with extra salt is one of my favourite breakfasts (when I’m not low carbing, obvs!).

Also always ensure there is extra Chinese so I can have it for lunch the next day. Chow mein or Singapore noodles can happily be eaten cold, although I do prefer Chinese heated through.

Leftover curry is generally eaten as a second dinner meal, but we don’t tend to get Indian takeaway as we usually cook our own or if we don’t fancy making it we just get supermarket curries.

Yesssssss

ibblebibbledibble · 15/03/2020 12:35

I love it the next day but for lunch not breakfast.
🤢 to curry for breakfast 😀

etherealbeauty · 15/03/2020 12:41

Oh yes the best one ever is pizza!
Followed by Indian.
Not keen on Chinese heated but still do it lol

britnay · 15/03/2020 12:58

cold leftover fridge pizza is the best

NotExactlyHappyToHelp · 15/03/2020 13:04

Don’t microwave pizza leftovers. Warm them up in a frying pan on the hob. Keeps the crust crunchy.

Kastanien · 15/03/2020 13:36

Do this all the time, one of life's pleasures!

TheFastandTheCurious · 15/03/2020 13:37

Yes but not for breakfast, lunch yes

timeforawine · 15/03/2020 13:41

I have half my sweet and sour chicken and egg fried rice for the next days lunch Grin
Nuke it in the microwave of course

OscarWildesCat · 15/03/2020 13:43

Just had leftover salt and chilli chicken from last nights Chinese, ALWAYS better next day Grin

RaininSummer · 15/03/2020 13:44

Definitely yes to leftovers but not for breakfast.

Marlena1 · 15/03/2020 13:56

Left over yellow curry this morning, even better than last night!

wildthingsinthenight · 15/03/2020 13:58

Cold pizza for breakfast when you are hungover....the dream...

CaffeineInfusion · 15/03/2020 14:06

Left over Chinese.... Love it!! 😍

vampirethriller · 15/03/2020 14:40

Absolutely. If I have takeaway I get extra so there's some for breakfast.

Ninkanink · 15/03/2020 15:01

I do also like leftover pizza warmed up, however I do it gently in the oven.

mummmy2017 · 15/03/2020 15:48

Cold curry for breakfast is amazing.

Ninkanink · 15/03/2020 15:57

Yes cold curry is actually lovely for breakfast - it’s one of my staples when I’m lowcarbing.

@BrightYellowDaffodil
Deviants is right! Can’t believe reading the replies that it makes some people feel sick. I thought everyone did it!

Best thing is if you’ve had a drink and realise the next day you’ve left much more food than you originally thought 🐷😁
I’d kill for a takeaway now mmmm mmmm
