Do you eat Leftovers? What about leftovers given to you from a family member?
I can't eat leftovers at all, I guess I don't like reheating foods or something but I know it is something that goes way back to my childhood . Stevens parents always offer us leftovers from family gatherings, thanksgiving etc; and I always tell them I don't eat them, I can't, which they think is weird.
I know my brother doesn't eat leftovers either and has no idea why he can't stomach the thought, considering there really is nothing wrong with them.

Some food doesn't work well as leftovers, because they taste wrong or mushy when reheated. Mostly though I will eat leftovers as I don't like to waste food. A lot of our leftovers go into either toasted sandwiches or pies.

I agree, Beck. Some foods work well as leftovers, and others don't. I eat leftovers every now and then, but not much. I don't mind them though, as long as the item(s) taste very close to how they did the first time I ate them

We never have leftovers so we never eat them.

We often have them. Cold pizza is the best.

We always have leftovers. Food gets too expensive to waste

We have leftovers all the time. I usually have the leftovers for lunch as we don't cook lunch.
I pack leftovers for work as well.

I eat leftovers a lot. It is too expensive to waste it and it's a good lunch to take to work most days.

I don't have leftovers too often, so it's not a huge issue for me, but when I do have them I certainly try to use them. Sometimes I'll just pop them in the microwave (works well enough for things like spaghetti, which I can take in a Tupperware to work and reheat for lunch) but other times I'll reinvent them into other dishes (left over turkey after Thanksgiving gets put into a casserole, for example). There are some types of food I really don't like as leftovers, though, so it's always amusing for me to try to find a way to "remake" it so that I'll eat it.

I rarely make enough food for there to be leftovers. But using left over roast meat for sandwiches is yummy!

You can I guess but at your own risk . Do you guys take uneaten food from restaurants home with you? in Scotland you don't get enough food to have leftovers but over here they give you so much! Steven's dad knows I don't reheat food but still insists I take home all of my uneaten food in a box , it's annoying lol.

I do depending on what I ordered. If it's a pasta or chicken then I do, but if it's a burger or something, then no I don't. Most of the time though, I'll put my food in a box to take home but end up forgetting the box at the restaurant.

I don't like eating reheated chicken. I reckon it tastes different I don't often take things home from restaurants. I have taken fish home for Jimmy Choo

I have never taken food home from a restaurant. But I can't remember many times I have not finished my meal.

I've done that often, but it does depend what I had at the restaurant and if it's worth packing.

Some people will take anything home lol. I will take home things like pizza, or anything easily reheated but I don't like to take home meat or fish.
