home made salsa. leaving it overnight gives it a chance to have all the flavors meld together.

Stew, enchiladas, lasagna, pot roast.

Chili!

Anything made with beans. Most things made with raw onions or chiles. Anything made from a powdered or dried mix such as chip dip.

Dang it! Too late.
Chili, lasagna, salsa, pulled pork,, smoked brisket, fajitas, etc

There are a couple of desserts that I make that taste better the next day. They tend to be pudding based, so like banana pudding, dirt cake and this one dessert with layers of graham crackers and a vanilla pudding mixture. That definitely tastes better the next day, when the graham crackers are all soft.
I like to let my cookie dough sit overnight before baking the cookies to. Doing that tends to yield richer flavors and just yummier cookies.

homemade sauerkraut

Pretty much anything Italian. When I order the chicken Marsala at Spaghetti Factory I force myself to put half to the side just so I can enjoy it's yummy goodness for lunch the next day.

Any stews and curries always taste better the next day or even a couple days later. I love leftover Japanese curry, it just almost never last long enough in house, at least the meat is almost always gone by the second day.

@mtm2: We need a big woot bus so we can go visit everyone.

pizza, and fried chicken. if you don't agree you pallet is an idiot.

My stoner college roomate was hell bent on opening a restaurant that specialized in day old food. Specifically day old spaghetti, which I would be down with, I guess. It's been 10 years, I should call that guy.....

every indian curry ever.

My Meatloaf......it's awesomer the next day

My Dad makes this leftover spaghetti frittata in a cast iron frying pan that even this non-egg eater will eat. The night before, he'll mix the leftover pasta & sauce together and I think adds in a bit of parmesan cheese before stashing it in the fridge. The next morning he heats a cast iron pan with a bit of olive oil and a crushed clove of garlic until fragrant. Depending on the amount of leftovers, he'll beat 3 to 6 eggs and stir that into the pasta mixture. The whole thing gets dumped into the frying pan and then popped into a hot oven until golden brown and cooked through.

I like cold Chinese food, cold pizza, and leftover garlic bread that had been dripping in butter and then shoved in the refrigerator over night. And I wonder why my jeans sometimes get so danged tight...

@lavikinga: I don't know if that 's the one she was talking about, but it is definitely the one that I am talking about. My wife makes this occasionally(thank goodness it's not more than that) and I can't find the bottom of the dish fast enough in the leftovers. :)

@lavikinga: That looks about right. Although I usually use two of the smaller boxes of pudding, french vanilla flavor of if I can find it. And I add some vanilla to the pudding mixture as well. Gives it a richer flavor.

Beans Beans the musical fruit...

Oh, and meatballs.

@coreyking: agreed! cold pizza is awesome!

I like cold mac and cheese, reheated ramen (where the noodles are extra fat and squishy), pizza, and most asian food.
