Today’s Talmud page, Bava Kama 76 tells of the Rabbis of the Talmud discussing the sacrificial meat that is still present after its allotted time to be used. Unorthodox co-host Stephanie Butnick returns to discuss the age-old question of leftovers, and more specifically, how long you can keep leftovers for future meals. With the improvement of refrigeration since the times of the Talmud, the length of time that you can continue to serve food has increased, and while some still think that food is only good on the day that it is freshly cooked, many believe you can eat the food until it starts to stink. Do some food get better as leftovers? Listen and find out.
