When eating out, do you take home leftovers?

[claws]

Just wondering, if you can't finish your meal, do you take home a doggie bag when eating at a restaurant?

[RCMerchant]

Of course! People are eating dogs in China.

Sure, leftovers from a restaurant are more interesting than what we usually make for lunch.

Ain't got no doggies at home to feed.

Sometimes.  Occasionally we go to Olive Garden and take home what we don't finish since their portions are huge. But it also gives me an excuse to drag my hubby there because OG makes the best TIRAMSU!  I prefer to eat it at home later when I can really indulge in the bliss of eating it.   

[Mr. DS]

I'd take home a piece of rice in a doggy bag if need be.  

[The Burgomaster]

Yes.  However, it's rare for me not to finish my meal.  Or I leave such a small amount unfinished that it isn't worth taking it home.

If I have something worth taking I do but usually not anything left to take home.

It depends on what it is. Some things reheat well and some don't.

Yes eggs come to mind for horrible reheating.  End up more like rubber. 

[retrorussell]

I eat it all in one sitting.

You forgot the "Get box for leftovers then leve it on the table by mistake" box

[indianasmith]

What are these "leftovers" you people keep talking about?

Im a fairly slow eater, so usually the only time i take stuff home is when i am dining in a group.

I think the key term here for me is "eating out".  I rarely do, and when I do, it's either on someone else's bill or a special occasion.  If someone else is paying I don't order enough to require a doggy bag, and if it's a special occasion I'll stuff my face so I won't need one!
