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. Does anyone else suffer from the same psychological phenomenon?

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

Roumba posted: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. 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.

covidstomper58 posted:How far does this go, like does the op buy a gallon of milk and use some then put it in the fridge, then the next day opens it and goes gross, leftovers and throw it out? Milk is disgusting and poison so yeah that poo poo doesn't touch the inside of my house. It's just good leftovers. Even if I cooked the food. I just cannot bring myself to it.

Mirage posted:What about pre-prepared food? Like microwave burritos, or convenience store sandwiches, or box lunches? Do you just feel like you need to eat fresh food? That's a bit different I mean FROZEN foods are fine. It's half eaten food that I can't get behind. I have done everything I can to reduce my food wasted by literally ordering and cooking things I will eat 100%. It's not like I make a plate of 12 enchiladas and toss 10 of them...anymore

Mirage posted:Okay, so, what if you made 12 burritos and FROZE 10 of 'em in packages of 2? Get a Food Saver and never waste a casserole again. Can't do it.

Funky See Funky Do posted:Is there an exact point where food becomes leftovers in your mind? Could you put a half eaten bowl of spaghetti into the fridge but then decide 5 minutes later that you're still hungry and finish it off? With drinking or getting high yes. Otherwise? Once it hits the fridge I form a mental block against touching it.

erosion posted:Here is my guess based on the above: At one point you ate leftovers that made you really sick. Maybe it sat out way too long before going in the fridge, maybe something else was wrong with it. Then you brain started associating leftovers with "this might kill me, initiate disgust protocol". That is probably right. And I'm not sure because I never do I just order exCy how much I want to eat. No more no less
