Fridged-and-reheated food tastes so bad to me, I'd rather just eat low-end microwave-ready dishes.

This is sufficiently bizarre that I wonder if your fridge is inhabited by mold or something.

Why do you think it's bizzare? I don' t hate reheated food, but the difference between food that's just been prepared and food that was cooked, refrigerated, and reheated is really obvious to me. It's huge.

It's not that bizarre that a preference would exist, but that it would put leftovers of nice food below "low-end microwave-ready dishes" surprised me.

I don't think so -- it happens with any fridge. What bothers me is that the food is drier (though that probably might be fixed by pouring water into it and stirring when reheating it), and the noodles/beans/grains of rice/whatever stick together (which I'm not sure it's possible to undo even in principle).

So do you have this problem with things like soup or curry - wet stuff that doesn't lose that much of its water content?

Not with soup, I don't. And I've never tried to store curry in a fridge for later reheating.

Or maybe he is a supertaster of some sort. After all, some people can't drink pop :)
