What will be the English word?

What is the English word which means "A food/drink which has been eaten slightly by someone else. And now the food is not totally fresh."

That means if I say " This is a/an ***** food (**** will be that word), everybody would understand that that food is either eaten by someone or atleast touched by mouth by someone else.

Than you.

Someone told me "defiled food" can be used. Is it appropriate?

That means nothing to this speaker of British English. It might mean something to people holding certain beliefs.

Yes, to me, too, it has overtones of religious taboo.

At first I thought you were looking for the word "leftover(s)," but that just implies that there was more food served at a meal than was eaten, and the remainder is put away to be used later. It usually does not mean that the food has been touched by someone's mouth, or even their knife and fork. (Unless for intstace, you are in a restaurant and cannot finish all the food on your plate -

khoffThere is really no single English word for "an apple that someone has taken a bite out of and left on the table."
Although we say 'your meal has been untouched', we do not say (X) 'your meal has been touched'. Ain't English great!

Thank you so much sir/madam for giving your valuable advice. Now I am in a conclusion that there is no such sing word. I have to use phrase.

no such single word. . . .

You're welcome!

(Just out of curiosity, do you use such a word frequently in your language?)
