AIBU or is saving curry a bit weird

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?

We always order an extra meal from the Chinese/Indian and freeze it, it’s like a midweek treat, boil our own rice to go with it, delicious!

I love leftover curry. So does the dog.

She tends to win, on account of mournful eyes and the persistency that terriers are renowned for.

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.

To my great horror DD reheats her left over pizza-

Cold for breakfast is the only way to eat leftover pizza

this is purely hypothetical as there is never any leftover pizza

NOT saving curry is a bit weird to be honest.

Just put daughters left over lamb korma and rice in the fridge about 10 mins ago!

Come on. Back @rOsie80 and tell us exactly how many people you actually know, I'm going to guess 2 other and they are under 5, no other adult doesn't know this

I don't like leftover takeaway curry but dh does so it doesn't go to waste.

What would you do with the other half of your takeaway - just throw it away?! I suppose there are some people who eat an entire takeaway in one go 😳

Top tip: make a breakfast omelette filled with leftover curry, it’s amazing.

Always save leftover takeaways with the exception of chips, always better the next day!

Yabu. Everyone does it. So much better the next day.

YABVU - Left over curry with a warm chapati is amazing.

I get extra for the next day if I have takeaway.

If you don't fancy it the next day it can always be frozen.

I'll get me skanky coat

Completely normal. YABVU.

Yeah sorry, leaping on the leftovers bandwagon. Plus I don't think there are any calories in cold curry, are they? That's what I thought.

What is weird however is what an ex boyfriend of mine used to do. Which was to pile all of the curry, rice, naan on a plate. Eat half, then put the plate on the floor (not in the fridge), overnight, then eat the leftovers that hadn't been in the fridge cold off the floor for breakfast.

I don't think it needs refrigerating but clearly this was a man who'd never found slug trails across his living room floor.

Why wouldn't you? Throwing food out is awful and next day curry is lush.

Takeaway curry for Breakfast is the food of the Gods

I freeze the leftovers in portions and reheat it for work - much tastier than the local sandwich shop and saves me a few quid - YABU

Leftover curry is amazing be it an indian or a chinese one. I also make soup and mince or spag bol and always make a wee bit more so there is some left to leave some for the next day as 2nd day serving is even better than the first

It's weird you find it weird.

I order extra so there's some left for the next day!

I do it all the time! By the time you add the onion bhajis, the poppedoms, the naan bread etc, I can't eat a whole curry! And it does taste waaaaay nicer reheated the following day!

I always get the meal for two from my local Indian place. I eat as much as I can for dinner, then put it all in a big tub mixed together (usually three different curries in there) the next day I take it to work (eat outside so no smells!). Absolutely divine. The heat from the spicy curries has gone and it's got a totally different texture. Now I'm considering ordering curry 🤤

NOT saving curry is a bit weird!! It's nice heated up but even better cold.....
