They say nothing is better than a home cooked meal. Clearly, those people have never had pizza the next day out of the refrigerator for breakfast. If you don't know, now you know. Breakfast pizza is somehow even better than fresh-served-for-dinner pizza, and if you think that's the only good leftovers, you're missing out, as evidenced by the entries below.


Reddit user, u/keepitstrizz, wanted to know what's best the day after when they asked:

What meal makes the best leftovers?

Clearly Both Way Are Right

Lasagna.

It's great right out of the oven, but it's even better after it has a chance to set up in the fridge overnight.

BOOM! Chili Anything.

Chili, you can put chili on almost anything.

Fries boom now chili fries,

Hot dog now it's a chili dog

Let The Mixture, Pardon The Pun, "Stew" For A Bit

Most soups and stews. 24 hours gives them time to gel together.

Soups and stews are always much more flavorful and delicious on day two.

A Truly Colorful Way Of Putting It

Curries! All curries develop flavor only the next day.

Being_grateful

Curry the day it's made is good. Curry the next day though? Orgasmic.

Superior On Reheat

Hands down. Chinese food.

The reason is when the dish is sitting in the fridge, the dish proceeds to soak up all the sauces and flavor. When it is reheated, the food has a almost better then fresh flavor, if not better then the first meal.

To Be Fair, Everything Is Better With An Egg On Top

Red beans and rice is great for breakfast the next day, especially with a fried egg on top

I've eaten a lot of leftover red beans. I've never heard of a fried egg on it though.

One To Do, One Not To Do

Pot Roast.

Definitely.

And I know it's not what you asked but fettucine alfredo makes terrible leftovers! the cream and cheese like separates when you reheat and it just isnt right anymore.

Good As New

Beef stroganoff, if you use ground beef, the noodles and meat heat up so well they basically taste as good as new.

A Good Feeling To Last For Days

Pozole!

My mom always makes it in a huge pot, even though there's only 4 (sometimes 5) of us.

It usually lasts us 3 days as dinner, and it's always better the next day.

cake

pantsthatlast

This is so true. Bake a cake and eat a slice that day and it's okay. Let it sit out at room temp overnight and something magical happens between the soft cake and icing. I can't even have it in my house I'll eat it all!

Multi-Use Meats Are The Best

Pulled pork or pulled chicken.

I usually make a whole bunch of it at once, eat some and then use the rest over the next few days in a variety of ways. Sandwiches, tacos, on pizza, in casseroles, or just straight up.

As quickly as the internet and social media came onto the scene, many people can still remember what it was like before the internet was so prevalent, or at least when people were first getting acclimated to it.

Thinking back, they entertained the idea of the internet going away again, and the results were eye-opening.

There's no question that the pandemic changed the world, and as the pandemic grew from a month-long hiatus to a three-year one, it's disconcerting to think of how much things have changed.

For some, basic conveniences, entertainment, and those things we used to take for granted are the things they still miss the most.

Some people have the tendency to hold things in so as not to risk ruffling feathers or facing huge embarrassment.

The problem with that, however, is that these secrets can fester and become unbearable to live with.

At some point, something's gotta give, and it can be worth the release.

First impressions can be misleading, to the point of being dangerous.

After all, as Jane Austen taught us in Pride and Prejudice (whose original title was, in fact, First Impressions) the person who ends up being the love of your life might seem utterly loathsome upon a first meeting.

Even so, it's hard not to snap to judgment when meeting someone for the first time, particularly based on what they say.

Be it a difference in political or religious beliefs, or simply something shockingly rude or ignorant, all it can take is a few words or idioms to make us never want to see or hear from someone ever again.
