Why is soup/chili always better the second day?

[Squatch]

i made some bison chili last night, and while it was very tasty, it's is much better today.

1. The flavors get to meld a little more

I find lots of things are better the second time around.

Spicy things, however, tend to get really spicy after a day or so. :o

2. Sounds delicious!

Meatloaf is better the next day too!

4. It's really easy:

2 pounds bison meat (~$4 a pound)
1 large vidalia onion
1/2 bulb of garlic
4 fresh tomatoes
2 cans of diced tomatoes (go for the no salt added variety)
1 can of tomato paste
4 dried Thai Dragon peppers
2 cans of kidney beans
2 Tbsp cumin
2 Tbsp hot Hungarian paprika
2 Tbsp chili powder
Salt to taste
2 Tbsp honey

5. George W. Bush soup!

It's very easy to make. It's just a weenie in hot water.

9. Lets the flavors blend. A REAL New Englander will never eat chowda

the same day it's made.

12. oooh - that reminds me - i've got some in the fridge

:D

hey misunderestimator - don't eat all the chili!

[Misunderestimator]

13. oops...

14. Same rule applies for rogan josh and various other gravy based dishes

Always best tasting if you make them the day before and serve them after they've been allowed to sit over night.

15. Spaghetti is better the second day too!
