Leftovers.

Futurist · Answer

Dave PhillipsLeftovers.

I think Mr. Perfect actually means something which has been contaminated by someone else's saliva.

The word 'leftovers' refers to the un-eaten portion of a meal. But because in the West we eat with cutlery, not with our fingers, there is typically nothing wrong with leftovers. A person might happily eat another's leftovers.

I don't think there is a specific word for jootha in the English language.

'Saliva-contaminated food' is probably the most efficient way to say jootha in English.

If food has been swallowed and then coughed up again, you would call it 'regurgitated food'.

Mr.Perfect · Answer

Hey Dave,this is exactly what I meant to say.For example sharing a beer-can

or having a big bite from your friend's pizza.
Thanking you a lot.

Mister Micawber · Answer

Saying that a bite from a pizza makes it saliva-contaminated food is a bit hysteric in our culture.
