Talking about leftovers is a worthwhile discussion. You can find out a great deal about some one when you uncover their attitude concerning leftovers.
There are not just 2 camps like one would think; those that eat them and those that do not. There is a third group made up of those that mean to eat them but never do.
From anecdotal observations, the leftover debate is not one divided by gender, age, education or sophisticated palette. Income or lack there of, can be a swaying factor for those who would normally reside in the I don’t eat leftovers camp.
For those who eat leftovers, the debate can be fine tuned to how many times to eat the same meal. Is once enough or are you good for as many as it takes to finish it off?
For those who do not eat leftovers are there ever exceptions like Thanksgiving dinner?
For those who have eating leftovers good intentions, how long do they stay in your refrigerator at home or at work before you toss them?
For all camps the question comes up about reusing the leftovers into another meal. For example, leftover roasted chicken becomes chicken burritos the next day. The third day the same roasted chicken becomes chicken salad. Is this a violation of the ‘I don’t eat leftovers’ camp doctrine? Do only ‘I eat leftovers’ users make use of the leftovers?
Are the ‘I don’t eat leftovers’ people better or worse money managers?
Are the ‘I eat leftovers’ people more responsible or lazy?
Are the ‘I meant to eat the leftovers’ people greedy or thrifty?
Am I full of it or am I just full? Thanksgiving is coming!
