Leftovers at Restaurants

If its good cuts of meat left over yeah we do take home and have in a sanie later

I've never really had this problem. I always eat everything on the plate and still want more

We always take any leftovers home. We went out for dinner recently and my mum didn't finish her chicken so brought it home for the dog. We don't tend to have that many leftovers though.

If its pizza, i would 100% take it home with me, because i know i would eat it the next day, but if it was chips, they go soggy, if it was rice, you shouldnt reheat it, and most things i wouldn’t want to eat two days in a row..

I ALWAYS take left overs lol. Paid for it!! Sometimes its hard to finish a big meal. So comes in handy for lunch the next day. Depends what it is. If its rice then no no.

i do this now, but will take the leftovers ( esp meat ) home for my dog

I think this is a great idea and it stops food waste. I recently changed Beefeater points over for a free bottle of wine with the meal but because our friends had to cancel very last minute (while we were seated) I ended up drinking two thirds of a bottle because I wasn't brave enough to ask for a lid and take it home and was totally 'mellow' by the time we got home. Totally stupid but I didn't want to waste the freebie I had either.

This has always been sort of an option but some feel embarrassed by it.

I do this all the time. I can't eat all the portions to me as they are too big and I usually go for a takeaway box. I am not ashamed and the waiter always says "sure, let me go a bed grab you one".

I have taken leftovers home before. But I only usually do that when it's something that's easy to take home for example when there is a fajita or burrito style item left. Makes it easy to wrap in foil.

I don't think I have ever been in a situation where I needed to bring anything home expect for pizza. I generally get something smaller knowing there will be something left on the kids plates so I eat that instead. Kinda just like most evening dinners too. Yet worth doing as they do more so in the US. Might as well use the grub up rather than making yet more waste.

i was looking about and seen yesturday

there is a app called togoodtogo

that as pubs and resturants ext that sell off there left over food they call it a magic bag

and you pay half the normal price.

i have not used it myself but to what i have seen you just put you location in and a list off palces near to you come up and they tell you how many bags they have on offer

i think you may pay online but im not sure

Take leftovers every time. I have paid for it so why would I pay for a portion of leftovers to end up in a bin?

Just freeze most of the leftovers for later or cook something else from it next day.

Yes, I take meat home for my dogs. My husband always laughs when I ask .

I don't care my pooches love it.
