He loves leftovers and refuses to let anything go to waste. I can barely eat my food after it's cooled down!

I think it was because I grew up as an only child and a latch-key kid. I was in charge of most of my own meals and most of those were leftovers. Now that I am a Big Kid, I want to eat whatever I want!

FH is a big fan of leftovers and i'm indifferent.

i grew up in a household where dad cooked almost all the meals for the week on sunday. we all had different schedules in my house growing up so we all seemed to eat dinner at different times so there always had to be leftovers or ready to eat meals in the fridge. and when i started learning how to cook, it was always for a big family like mine so there was always A LOT of food. it's been hard having to adjust to just cooking for myself or me and FH.

we're also asian, so there's that "don't waste food" rule in our households. he's a big fan of "surprise" omelets and casseroles. i'm a big fan of the whole smorgasbord thing myself. FH also likes to mangle everything into fried rice!

Yum.  We both love leftovers; however, I'm more tolerant of eating the same thing more times in a row than he is. 

I'll do leftovers for lunch, but since my husband hates leftovers for dinner, I cook something new each night.  He's a physician running through the hospital so he prefers a sandwich he can just pull out of his pocket, but in the lab I have a desk and a microwave, so it's easy for me to reheat things.  I would say half of what I cook produces leftovers, so it works out perfectly that I have lunch most days.

Now he's currently on 2 weeks of vacation and home in the afternoons, so he wants to eat leftovers for lunch... and we're fighting over them.  But we don't do leftovers for dinner.

I'm not sure I'd use the word "love," but we both appreciate them. I prefer them for work lunches. It took a while to turn my husband into a leftover-for-lunch guy - but I managed to do it!

It keeps us from eating out, so it also saves us money! We aren't married yet, but I go over and cook so we both have leftovers for lunch the next day, since we dont have enough time to go hoome and eat on our breaks.

only when I'm tried and dont want to cook then I love leftovers lol

My hubby is the biggest waster of things: drinks, food and money. He can't stand eating leftovers and sometimes I refuse to cook dinner because we have leftovers in the fridge from the day before that I know won't get eaten unless it's the only thing available. I'm lucky to get him to eat leftovers even when it's something that's he ordered or made. He'll make a big batch of rice/beef/beans meal and maybe eat it once or twice, I end up throwing it away because he just lets it sits there. It really bugs me how he wastes food and drinks, especially with how our econony is.

Tonight's leftovers = tomorrow's lunch. I'm not much of a fan of the cold sandwich lunch, so we cook a meal for four, eat half for dinner, then pack it up for our respective lunchs the next day. It saves money and it saves me from having to break my head with math over converting all my recipes down to a two-person version.

I had to choose-He loves leftovers, I don't because there was no option for, I somewhat do.  I don't mind leftovers, it just depends on what they are.  I can't really eat leftover meat, I don't really know why.  But I love left over rice, pasta, casserole dishes, etc. :)  My FI will eat just about anything!
