Best and Worst Leftovers

[primushead]

What's best heated up the next day?  What's the worst?

Best--Chinese food of any sort.  And dare I say it's better when it's leftover?  I do believe it is.

Worst--Hamburgers...the meat seems way too dry and the bun gets way too hot.  Definitely a 1 out of 10.

Anyone else?

most italian is great leftover.  mac and che.  lasagna. although some cream sauces don't keep.  jambalaya is also good leftover.

not good:  hamburgers.  mashed potatoes (actually, if you make them into potato cakes that could go to the top of the good list.)

Best- PIZZA. Come on, cold pizza in the morning. Breakfast of champions! Also, most soups, stews, and chilies. The extra time allows the flavors to meld even more. chili is sooooo good the 2nd and 3rd day.

Worst- I'll have to agree with eveyone else so far, hamburgers. Meat turns into a protein laced hockey puck.

Chicken tenders of any kind of fried chicken is pretty bad leftover. I think one of the main things I like about fried foods is the crunchiness. It's just not the same warmed over.

best are soups or stews / pasta dishes
worst are hot dogs or fish :-[

Best: Pizza. The king of all leftovers. All forms of pasta are also good.

Worst: Burritos. Don't even try reheating these.

I never re-heat my leftovers. A lot of foods taste better cold the next day IMO - Hamburger Helper for example.
Not leftovers but I'm eating cold chili straight out of the tin as I type.
My wife thinks I'm strange but I think she's strange!  ;)

best: all thanksgiving food, soup/stews, pizza, meatloaf, meat that can be made into a sandwich the next day.
worst: mac n' cheese

That is actually what I had for lunch today. Leftover Chinese food is always something to look forward to.

if we're talking about reheating, pizza is terrible out of the microwave. cold pizza is very good though. meat loaf is pretty bad.

Cold rare steak gnawed from the bone.

meatloaf sandwiches are the dank

THANKSGIVING FOOD is the best.  Good call.  Ever make a turkey and stuffing sandwich the next day?  It's one of my all time favs.

[megisnotreal]

also delish leftover: fajitas. they make good nachos. yum. i am also a fan of eating cold fried chicken leftovers.

unfotunately for me, sushi does not fair well in the realm of leftovers. it loses its yummy texture.

ps: i dig the new name greg.  :-*

Those sandwhich rule! Throw some cranberry on it and it's even better.
