Many meals DON'T taste good the next day, but I've yet to have a meal made with meat that didn't improve with a bit of refrigeration. <em> Hi Keegan, thanks for your thoughts. - RG</em> I think it has to do with the meat.

If you have spend ages preparing a meal, the taste may not be as enjoyable as it would be if not recently experienced through smell. Lets not forget that our ability to taste comes mostly from our sense of smell. <em>Hi Ed, I think the sense of taste although enhanced by the sense of smell comes mainly from our taste buds.

That is why some wines benefit from "breathing." Anyway I made wat, think of it as the Ethiopian version of curry, and it was good the first day, but far more flavorful the day after.
