    If your fit and healthy why not just give it a really good reheat?

      technically reheating potentially spoiled food still isn't very safe since there could be toxins from bacteria or mold that are not denatured by the heat, but yeah that's what I did so I guess I just hope I don't wake up poopin my brains out

          eh it was okay but I also ate it on a bed of plain white rice so it wasn't exactly flavor country. And tbh I didn't get a "wow so much better" effect the day after it was cooked. And it seemed less spicy? I had trouble the first night even with milk to assuage the capsaicin pain, the next day it was no probalo

            Things generally become less spicy as they sit in the fridge so that checks out. Also Kenji (my muse) made a video recently where he talked about how the idea that things like stew or chili taste better the next day is a myth. The reason people think that is because when you eat it the day of, you generally have been smelling it for a while so your nose has adapted to it and you don't get the taste as strong. If you eat it the next day you get the fill olfactory experience.
