As you paid for it restaurants are obliged to give you a 'doggy bag" to take the uneaten food home, but you have to ask.<br />ElsieJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03967174271705079252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-24095848045644031492015-12-19T18:50:33.082+00:002015-12-19T18:50:33.082+00:00Do you not get 'doggie bags' in the uk?

When the waiter comes to the table and they see there is food still on your plate they immediately offer you a box for the leftovers. I find the older we get the less we eat therefore it is very rare that we finish what we are served. It's nice to have the leftovers for the next day.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12465050441931715127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-65397587547372699172015-12-18T23:23:51.720+00:002015-12-18T23:23:51.720+00:00Enjoy your weekend decorating and your visitors to...Enjoy your weekend decorating and your visitors too!

I hate leaving food too as I know it will just go in the bin. They should give you the option of a smaller sized portion to begin with. No wonder I generally choose to eat at home :) Happeninguponhappinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03613360081052257464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-69679364700423835342015-12-18T15:54:05.088+00:002015-12-18T15:54:05.088+00:00So many restaurant experiences are a disappointmen...So many restaurant experiences are a disappointment these days, right ? I sometimes find that the larger the portions the poorer the quality the food as if the first makes up for the other.<br />I so rarely eat out, maybe once or twice a year but I take a box just in case there are any leftovers. Here in the U.S. they will always give you a box but I prefer to use my own.<br />I hate noisy and totally quiet restaurants; a gentle murmur is just right...I also only every have one course and maybe a coffee and always drink tap water or occasionally iced-tea which every restaurant serves..lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17345707661431587475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-37192138323645555912015-12-18T14:16:24.110+00:002015-12-18T14:16:24.110+00:00I can't even begin to imagine how much food th...I can't even begin to imagine how much food they must throw away and how much they could save but just a slight reduction in volume.

I used to be able to just about manage a three course meal every now and then, now I don't stand a chance. I usually just have a main course and then a coffee while everyone else tucks into their dessert.<br /><br />I guess this time of year all restaurants are going to be getting noisier and noisier as the office parties fill them up, a good time to eat at home methinks.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.com
