I made fried rice a few days ago. It was good. I had leftovers the next day and it was better. I had leftover again a day after and it was even better (spices and flavours developed and it became more savoury). Presumably this will continue until it spoils, hence the title.
Confession. I thought of this while in the bath, not the shower.
Why?
It allows harmful bacteria to reach infectious levels, it’s true of most foods and isn’t exclusive to lasagna
Ah that was my guess
Starchy foods. Rice is particularly prone to this
And most meat dishes, egg dishes, pretty much anything containing dairy, most raw/cooked produce and produce-containing dishes, opened canned goods, etc, etc. Way more than just “starchy foods”
You’re absolutely right. It just doesn’t apply so much to foods that are naturally antimicrobial, i.e. foods super salty and/or acidic (or super basic in theory, but I can’t think of any examples).
