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?

My OH saves pretty much everything and has it for lunch the next day.

I, on the other hand, have emetophobia so the only think I'll save and eat the next day is pizza (as long as there is no meat on it).

I think he's brave, he thinks I'm weird

I love a cold/reheated/toasted peshwari nan for breakfast. Lovely!

In fact, in the good old days (before pandemic) when DH are out on business (a lot), if it was curry I would request he bring a peshwari nan home!

@PleasantVille

I wouldn't be eating that curry, it's nearly 3 months old

Yes, nobody wants a 3 month old curry!

YABU. Leftover curry is breakfast.

What? Why would you throw away perfectly good food. It's a waste, plus it's common knowledge curry tastes even better the next day. YABVU

Also if there's only little bits left in each container that seem not worth saving just throw it all in to one and have a curry medley the next day. Might order curry at the weekend now!

I beg your pardon! A bit must ALWAYS be saved for lunch the next day. I have my leftover curry from last night waiting in the fridge as we speak

Oh @midnightstar66 I miss a curry medley. I don’t have them now I’m single.

Nope, you're the odd one, not your DH
Nowt wrong with a curry the next day.
Yum

Now think how many times your DH has been ill due to leftover takeaway (I bet it's rarely or never) and see what you're missing out on.

Probably more than half of what I eat is leftovers, because takeaway and restaurant portions are always at least two, sometimes 3 meals for me, and I also batch cook for lunches - I did a brisket in the slow cooker yesterday and while it is gorgeous, I could tell that DP wasn't keen (philistine) so I've now got lots of lovely slow cooked spicy brisket, refried beans, coriander rice and guacamole which will do lunch today, tomorrow and probably another meal or bits for the freezer without having to cook again - bonus.

I make a sandwich with nan bread stuffed with cold curry rice as and a bhaji

YABVVVVU

@Oldraver That sounds incredible.

@JustMeAndMyTins single also but thankfully both dc also love curry so can still enjoy 😆

We love last nights curry so much, we actually get a takeaway on Christmas eve, and have it for Christmas lunch!!

We always keep leftover takeout do you not keep any "leftovers"?

YABU. Leftover curry is breakfast.

Dirty talk. I like it.

Fine to eat next day

Also- top tip for reheating pizza: hot, dry frying pan (not nonstick, because you’ll ruin the coating at the temp you need) with a lid. When you can just start to smell the crust getting toasty it’s ready. Crispy crust, re-melted cheese, hot toppings. Better than when it was delivered usually. Only problem is that you can only do 2-3 slices at a time depending on size of your pan.

Why did I miss this absolute GEM of advice, @lookatallthosechickens - you are amazing!
