Doggy bag

[motorbiking]

I’d have no problem asking for a doggy bag and the disclaimer they asked you to sign would be worthless.

It would be a matter of fact as to where or how you got food poisoning. The disclaimer wouldn’t offer them any protection. Better to advise the risks of reheated food on the box

Are you meaning a doggy bag for later personal consumption, rather than for a dog? I have never taken away food for my own consumption, only for the dog who now kind of expects it. A couple of local eateries offer on their menus the possibility of a take-away sweet in a box, for those who cannot manage one straight away after the previous course.

Never anything left to take home normally if we eat out, why would you order more than you can eat?.

To save having to cook the next day.

I generally eat what I pay for so there is no need for a doggy bag.

I have a funny appetite, I never know how much i might want to eat, so I often leave some on the plate.

Always take left over curry home when we are out with the family group. Can't beat a bit of Madras and Vindaloo for breakfast.

Occasionally my brother and I take our Mum out for a curry. At her age she struggles to eat half of it. I know I'm in for a great lunch the next day when I reheat the half of a chicken biryani she took home. Sometimes there's half a naan to go with it, which is surprisingly good warmed in foil in the oven.

I often get a leftover box.
However when I did some work in a training kitchen, where they served customers in an attached restaurant, the staff weren’t allowed to take stuff home. Apparently the was H&S policy.

In the early 80s, I was doing Food Technology at college and we mass produced all sorts of things, mince pies at Christmas, HC buns at Easter, breads, biscuits.....some breads were part-baked, designed for finishing off in the oven at home.

We would sell what we could and give the rest away. No disclaimers

I had a project studying the differences the flour used made to the flavour and eating qualities of Rich Tea. Ended up baking 10K biscuits.... Can't remember how many we sold, but I do remember struggling home on the bus with a huge clear plastic sack stuffed with biccies. A few happy passengers on that trip!

How does the dog know you are going out for a meal?

You can signup for an app, where local restaurants can advertise there surplus foods. You just pay and take away, rather than it going in the bin you cannot pick and choose, it's what ever they happen to have. You arrange it the day before, but I don't understand how they can know they will have food left over. It seems to be mostly carveries taking part.

I tell her

My wife works in schools dealing with kitchen activities and rules and regs. The biggest moan the staff has she says is with the enormous waste, and that the policy of free school meals is a financial disaster, kids want burgers, chicken nuggets and chips, schools have to give a balanced diet, and the kids waste tons.

In my day, want it or not, you were forced to sit there and clear the plate, or at least until the master became bored. That wall record always reminds me of that time, a certain line in the song.
