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?

Curry for breakfast is a given just like the bubble and squeek at Christmas.

Natsel84 · 14/08/2020 20:54

Chicken tikka masala for breakfast , yes pleasseeeeee

mrsBtheparker · 14/08/2020 20:55

There are few foods that don't taste better the next day, I had two-day old sweet and sour pork, well re-heated, it was bliss!

Illegitiminoncarborundum · 14/08/2020 20:55

Well I don't think OP is returning to this one

SundayShawl · 14/08/2020 20:55

We deliberately order too much takeaway so we've got leftovers for the next day. It's always tastes better for marinating overnight

YABVVVVVVU

Stinkbug · 14/08/2020 20:56

I always do this. My takeaway does three meals, dh’s does one and he orders more than me.

YourWelcomeBitch · 14/08/2020 20:57

You will think us very odd then- We save and freeze all our leftover curries-then add them together with more meat if needed and serve again for a complete meal!
It is lovely!!!( save and freeze the naans too-just add more garlic butter

ShebaShimmyShake · 14/08/2020 20:57

I always over order Chinese so I can eat the leftovers cold for breakfast the next day. My husband thinks I'm mad but he likes rum and raisin, so what does he know.

enjoyingscience · 14/08/2020 20:58

God I want a curry now. And then I want it for lunch tomorrow too, because day two curry (tarka Dahl, cold on leftover naan in particular) is fucking amazing.

Lilybet1980 · 14/08/2020 20:59

YABU for not having voting buttons because you would have got severely trounced.

We deliberately over order so we have another meals worth to put in the freezer for another night.

Nottobesoldseparately · 14/08/2020 21:00

I'm eating curry right now and already looking forward to the leftovers tomorrow (or sunday).

In the nicest possible way, you are weird, really fucking weird!

unoeufisunoeuf1 · 14/08/2020 21:00

Wasting food is really weird imo.

Nottobesoldseparately · 14/08/2020 21:03

@WombOfOnesOwn

We usually eat the meats or paneer or kofta from the curry on the first day, and then on the second day, we medium boil up some eggs from our backyard flock and then cook them gently in the leftover curry sauces. Food of the gods! Egg curry is common enough in India, but not done on too many menus elsewhere, so it's a nice refresh of a previous evening meal.
Oh god, I think I love you.

So ordering extra curry sauce next time so I can do this the next day for breakfast!

Thank you!

LadyGinger · 14/08/2020 21:04

To be frank, I think that’s the weirdest opinion anyone has ever had.

YAB SO U

CeibaTree · 14/08/2020 21:04

I've never known anyone not to OP - do you normally just chuck away any leftovers? That seems the odd thing to do to me..

Giraffey1 · 14/08/2020 21:05

Why would you waste good food? I am unlikely to leave curry but if it did it would not be going in the food waste bi.

Pittapitta · 14/08/2020 21:05

Your are 100% unreasonable

ErinBrockovich · 14/08/2020 21:05

Curry? No I wouldn’t because I never reheat chicken.
Pizza? Yeah blatantly.

Pittapitta · 14/08/2020 21:06

You are*

AriesTheRam · 14/08/2020 21:06

Left over curry? What's that? 🐷

Isinknot · 14/08/2020 21:07

Not weird to me, I've always been one of these grazers who is full after a quarter of a plate, then hungry later. I can't force myself to eat more in one sitting no matter how hard I try.

Weirdos who can eat full meals in one go just don't get it. Grin

whirlwindwallaby · 14/08/2020 21:07

A takeaway is far too much for us for one night. We get a starter, a curry and rice each and split over two nights.

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 14/08/2020 21:07

Come on, cold curry for breakfast is the absolute bees knees!

cheeseislife8 · 14/08/2020 21:08

YABU! Curry is so much better the next day. Not that there are many opportunities to test that theory in our house 🐷
