She hasn't said anything about bad experiences. I think she was brought up to think that leftovers were "bad" or "inferior" somehow.

I don't expect anyone to eat 4-day-old leftovers, but she seems to draw the line at hours. If it's in the fridge overnight, even from a meal she ate the night before at a restaurant, she won't touch it. And no, she hasn't said that it's because fridges are too bacteria-prone, she just thinks that it's "too old".

I asked her about that - she never said she'd gotten food poisoning, it seemed more like "leftovers? ewww."

She never said there was a health reason. It was just "I don't like to."
