NFR Food better the next day

[RCF]

I love some foods the next day. (even more than first day) Some examples:

Spaghetti
Lasagna
Meatloaf (sandwiches)
Chilli
Baked beans (pork and beans style)

What are some of yours?

Deer and elk.

Definitely more tender and better if after dressing them you hang them for 24 hours before butchering.

 

[Kilchis]

Sausage gravy for B&G, especially if made with quality chorizo. (NOT the stuff in tubes.)

 

[Yard Sale]

Soup! Basically any type of soup. It just takes an extra day for the flavors to meld. My favorite would be black eyed pea with a ham hock.

 

[Wolverine]

Cold pizza.

 

[mark wlker]

Almost anything with homemade tomato sauce and any Italian sauce.

 

[Brute]

Just about all soups, stews or chili…the chine & rib bones from a prime rib…kalbi…

 

[Otter]

Cold Kraft Dinner.

 

[Coach Potter]

Any red meat steak that was cooked properly. If you overcook it, no amount of time or anything else is going to fix that, but medium rare to rare steak the next day…hard to beat.

 

[Stonedfish]

Stuff like hot dish, au gratin potatoes or similar.
Chinese and Mexican food leftovers can be excellent the next day.

Pinto beans and ham hocks. Even the buttermilk skillet cornbread seems to be more flavorful the next day.

Usually leftover steak makes it into a fajita or taco the next day…

Various pasta salads.

 

[Canuck from Kansas]

Cold Kraft Dinner.

Kraft Dinner, hah, you know he's Canadian - the wife still looks at me sideways when I call it this.

My answer - beef stew, waaaaay better the second, third, and fourth days.

cheers

Adding some randoms to the list - potato salad, chicken salad, au gratin potatoes.

 

[Jacob Watrous]

Smoked salmon chowder. Just had a bowl of yesterday’s batch.

 

[Mossback]

Most soups, stews and meat braises...

Also, most bean dishes are better the second day too.
I usually cook my black beans and let them sit a day before eating...

 

[Kilchis]

Chicken fricassee. Spaghetti. French Canadian cooked meat fowl stuffing.

I prefer a sliced steak on whole wheat bread, sometimes with melted provolone melted cheese...
