AIBU or is saving curry a bit weird

[rOsie80]

Never known anyone to keep leftover takeaway for the next day until DP - always thought it was a one night treat. Think it's a bit odd - is it?

YABU.

Leftover curry is an oxymoron.

Totally normal!

@ludothedog

I always buy extra to have the next day

Ditto!

I prefer leftover pizza for breakfast. Curry is also acceptable but we always order more naan than rice because I wont save takeaway rice to be reheated.

OP has to be a troll, yes? Everyone knows curry is better the next day. And who throws sweat good food?

Are you actually insane? What will you eat for breakfast then? Haha! Enjoy your shit toast while he eats cold curry.

@PleasantVille My step DiL is Scottish and threw away the remains of a curry last time DH, DSs & I stayed there. The next day we were just 😧🤷🏼‍♀️. She said she always does that. There was loads left as well. We’d been really looking forward to it for brunch.

I don't do it (probably coz it all gets eaten in our house....) but the majority of people I know save left over curry for the next day.

OP you haven’t lived! Give it a try

I always do this. Tastes better and spreads the takeaway love over more days.

Slightly off topic, but what’s the deal with the reheating rice? I’m an emetophobe so I’m really careful with food hygiene, and I know it’s Not Supposed To Be Done. But I’ve known loads of people do it with no problem, and surely heating up a ton of rice pudding is the same? We made a delicious rice pudding recently and I didn’t dare eat any heated up the next day but DH did and was totally fine

If you refrigerate it straight away and heat it right through, within a day or two, it's probably fine. It's more a risk if you leave it out at room temperature for a long time before putting it in the fridge. I don't think the risk is huge but I also don't think it's worth it if the rice wasn't refrigerated quickly or is more than a day or so old.

I don’t even eat curry but leftover takeaway is always kept by anyone I’ve ever met. Would think it more unusual to bin it TBH.

What do you do? Throw it away? Omg

A SCOT thew away CURRY???

Perfectly normal thing to do.

Curry improves with age, as does chinese. Try it.

@Mummadeeze

It isn’t a weird thing to do but I wouldn’t do it as I never fancy eating curry again so soon after I ate it the night before. I always feel bloated and awful the next day and like I need a healthy meal to compensate.

You're buying from the wrong places.

This thread has reminded me that I have leftover daal in the fridge from Friday evening. That's going on my baked potato tonight - carbs on carbs, heavenly.

I am dying for the OP to come back and explain herself

YABU we always keep leftovers for tomorrow, there’s always too much food 😋

Much weirder to throw good food away

Just about all leftovers are a joy. Chips not so much because they go a bit meh and pasta needs to be sauced up if it's not to go hard, but I'll eat just about any sort of leftover.

Cold curry and warmed up chapattis, maybe a bit of minty sauce = breakfast heaven! My mouth is watering thinking about it.

We plan to have the next day , place near us does a set meal thing and after starters we often set aside the main for easy Monday night supper - so many things taste better when left a day or longer to mature and curry is one of them
