ALL you guys are wrong.
The best tasting day-old leftover is:
Spaghetti and meatballs. (American style, since it doesn't seem to actually exist in Italy)
Because letting it sit in the fridge overnight lets the noodles absorb the flavor of the sauce, making it taste even better than the freshly made stuff.
ChrisSayer:
The brilliance, of course, is in bringing Marigold & Dale together in this important debate, by providing a common enemy.
The question is, do we read this as Hannelore consciously being so wise? ... or is it strictly Mr. Jacques playing Sun Tzu? ... or just serendipity?

That also made me think. Mac and cheese may contain antibacterial ingredients. But mass spectroscopy is not useful for detecting bacteria, so Hanners must have something else in mind. I would guess MS can be used to detect various tasty organic molecules, thereby establishing a scientific basis for Hanners' theorem.
A mass spectrometer must be used with a gas chromatograph (GC/MS instrument) in order to provide this kind of analysis. I would guess Hanners has an Agilent 5977A or equivalent somewhere in her apartment. Cost should not be a problem, but the instrument requires quite a lot of space :mrgreen:
But I find it hard to believe that Hanners actually eats day-old food.

Experimental data is all very well, Ms Ellicott-Chatham, but where's your empirical evidence? Until I see you eat a day-old anything, your theory is just that.....a theory!

The cooking process should sterilyze the food, if you are careful the you can avoid recontamination and if you reheat it to the boiling point before eating you can kill any germs dangerous that might have managed to get in in the interval. So the answer to your question: less than in salads.
