I have an absolute disdain for leftovers to the point where I can't even look at them without gagging. It does make it annoying when I have perfectly good leftovers and I literally cannot think of even eating them. I'd rather let them rot or just throw them right away then actually eat them.?

Like I just gag thinking of a leftover burrito or leftover sandwich in the congealed nastiness. I keep seeing people on tiktok and poo poo reinventing their leftovers into new meals and it utterly discussed the gently caress out of me. Especially when you have like a burrito or something like that that has a clear bite marks in it that's where it really gets me gagging.

I just don't ask for a box of restaurants anymore and it makes me feel bad that I'm throwing the food away but I know for a fact I just won't loving eat it.

My wife brought home leftover Chinese food a few nights ago and I looked at it for 3 seconds and couldn't loving do it.

you don't have a condition or anything, you are just picky and didn't get that humiliated out of you properly, like it rightfully should have been.

if this is true OP, it is not some cute character flaw that makes you more interesting, it's just weak and pathetic

I've reduced my food wasted by just cooking two portions at any time. Lasagna i just make a small one.
But ughhhh how do you do it how do you eat the sandwich with the mayo all congealed and the acid from the mustard reacting to it over night. Hjjjjj

Half a pizza in the fridge? Might eat a piece the next day for lunch. The rest gets consumed by my partner or zzytrash

It's not that I haven't tried, I've reheated the leftovers and as soon as I smell it I just start gagging. Gagging to the point where I literally feel like I'm going to vomit even just looking at it. Like I looked at leftover spaghetti a few days ago and I was losing my mind..

Sometimes when I look at the garbage I start gagging too. I'm not sure why this is but it's the same thing if I see food garbage it just makes me lose my stomach.


It's not like it's always been like this

Is just the concept of eating stuff that's been in the fridge overnight that revolts you or is it their texture/taste? I almost get the same way about frozen leftovers, but eventually I found a way to reheat them a lot of them so they don't suck or stink.

Otherwise, get a toaster oven or airfryer or something, daymn. Most leftovers look, taste and smell far, FAR better when reheated in an oven than in a microwave.

what you need is a good downward spiral of depression.

In my time, i used to just throw one of those 3lb of ground beef tubes in the oven with salt and pepper. bam dinner and lunch, and dinner and probably lunch again. or like 5lbs of mashed potatoes.

gently caress it, mix it all together.
Eat it cold. cause you're not bitch-made.

make 24 hard boiled eggs. meals for days.

in that state you are just eating to get calories in your body so you don't feel sick and die.


e- like, I want to be really mean to you. But, I'm sorry. I know everyone has their own personal thing.
I have a handful of picky eaters in my life and it drives me insane.

Yes it's just that. I have an air fryer I have a toaster it's not like I have a lack of waste to cook it it's just the texture causes me to recoil.

splash some soy sauce on it, maybe some chili oil and throw it in the microwave.

I'm glad my brain isn't broken in that particular way. Some of my family members can't eat leftovers either, but it's due to affluenza. I'd like you to watch a video on the making of pagpag and give us a trip report, but I'm worried you might not survive.

Dang, that sucks. I can only suggest focus on finding some new favorite foods that feel exactly the same when reheated as they are when first cooked? Like chili or soups and stuff.
Maybe keep sauces separate from the rest of the dish so you can keep part of a meal for the next day and make fresh noodles or whatever when you start again?

Or lean hard into the OCD and keep that refrigerator/freezer ultra-clean and smelling nice to help subconsciously convince yourself that it is all fine to eat.

I used to hate leftovers but then I learned it was because my parents didn't take care of any of their cooking utensils or pots&pans and didn't wash anything properly and didn't store anything correctly in the fridge, and that it's not normal for leftovers to taste like rotten metal.

There are things which you absolutely can't eat as leftovers because the tinctures flatten. Generally these fall in to the categories of anything with lettuce, fried potatoes, and most sammiches especially but especially ones that have been toasted. Foods with a lot of nectars and juices like soups are just fine as leftovers. I hope this information helps.

I dont do left overs either.

We should start like an exclusive club or something so these bateria eating plebs can chomp away on their dirty disease filled after-eats.

I will however still do left over pizza.

No you dont put it in the fridge (wtf?)

Toasted paninis are extremely good cold though
