Why do some people refuse to eat any leftovers?!


Question: Why do some people refuse to eat any leftovers!?
I know a woman who would make the most amazing dishes but all the leftover would go straight in the trash!. She was a neat person overall, kept a tidy home and all, but I consider myself very neat too but I have no problems with leftovers!. I can see if they're someone else's leftovers it can seem gross, but if it's your own food, why do some people not eat any leftovers!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

I hate leftovers as well!. I have started cooking only as much as I need, since I hate to waste also!.

I saw someone else mention mac & cheese!. I have the same problem with day old mac & cheese!. What I have started doing is only cooking half the pasta, using the full cheese packet (turns out great) and saving the other half for when I make macaroni salad!.

There are a lot of things you can get creative with like this and not waste food in the process!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Talk about a waste of food! In my family, we were basically told to eat every last bit of our food - my dad couldn't stand to see good things go to waste!. Well, it might be germs, but I have a roommate now who does the same thing too!. She just doesn't think about it!. I just assumed that she doesn't feel like putting it away in a tupperware to keep it for the next day(s)!.!.!.but some people just don't think twice about throwing things away!. She didn't only do this with food! Was she raised in a wealthy home!? My roommate did and her parents were this way as well, didn't seem to value anything!. Who knows!.!.!.maybe just ask her, lol!Www@FoodAQ@Com

i personally hate leftovers!. it doesn't taste the same no matter what you do to it!. i will eat things like spaghetti the next day, but not past that usually!. most meat products taste like cardboard re-heated, and have you ever actually enjoyed eating a re-heated french fry from mc donalds!? just think about that icky taste and that's kinda what leftovers taste like to a lot of people!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Plain and simple!. She's an idiot!. She thinks that her food is falling out of the bottom of garbage can and landing on the tables (or laps) of starving Chinese families, only to discover that the rood is back in the garbage can the next day!. Obviously, they do not like her food!. But she keeps giving and giving even though those families will just keep tossing it right back up to her!. She has a good heart!. A good heart like a retard would!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

some people who are neat always like to eat new and good food, they think leftover food is bad and they might say that it smells bad even thought it doesn't!. Then they would throw it in the trash because they think its bad and might make other people hate it too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i eat leftovers, have no problem with them!.
i dont like some of the containers leftovers are in sometimes!.

I am a good one for not wanting to eat them, but recently I have been keeping an eye on and even improving oldies!. You just need to remember when it was cooked!. Put them away, right away and you can get another meal out of it!.

5!. Could be a phobia!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Food always tastes better the first time because after awhile the natural flavors start to disappear!. Although, some dishes such as chili taste better after being in the fridge for a couple days!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
