bring back leftovers w/poll

I always take whatever I don't eat (and DH eats) home. How can you argue with a ready-made meal just waiting for you in the fridge the next day? Especially if it's a Butera's dinner

i love leftovers! if its something that wont reheat well i'll eat it cold

the only times i wont take something to go are if we're not going straight home and we have no place to put it, or if i didn't really like my meal

for the most part, it keeps me from stuffing myself trying to finish it, and i love getting to eat it again later

If its pasta or chinese - I usually bring it home.

But not if its chicken or steak or a salad...it just doesnt taste good to me and salads get soggy!

ya I have brought home a salad like once or twice and it just isn't good most of the time. Thats usually the only thing I wont take. That and some seafood like clams and scallops I dont take.

I do bring food home sometimes, but I was trying to think why I dont do it often and realized bc i usually eat most of my food. I feel like a pig after reading this thread most of you girls leave food on your plates, it doesnt happen often for me. Maybe just a few bites but then not worth it to take the rest if its just like 3 bites left.

Also like others said, depends on what it is. If its something oily then definitely not bc reheating it will just be disgusting.

same with me! i usually clean my plate, and enjoy cleaning my plate the only time i don't is if it's someplace like cheesecake factory where the portions are HUGE. then i know i'll be bringing home food and make sure to order something that will be good to eat the next day.

I always take it home if it will stay good (pasta, chicken, etc). Salad and wraps I usually don't b/c they get soggy

I guess I should have reworded the question. I meant if you have left over food- do you bring it home? Obviously if you eat it all you don't. But don't feel like a pig, I feel like I always eat more than DH even. Im a huge pig. But I feel like so many places have such huge protions that even I can't eat it all!
