Americans like doggy bags from restaurants I get that. Americans seem to care more about the amount they get served in a restaurant and value for money more than quality and presentation, I get that.
Doggy bags are completely alien to Europeans, if you went to a restaurant anywhere in Europe and asked for the leftovers to be put in a doggy bag to take home as well? They would dismiss you as a mad tramp wanting to eat your own garbage but I digress!
I watched a program about “supersavers” and a man and woman “supersavers” went to a restaurant. They went and had a meal and had their leftovers put in doggy bags, fair enough, you do that, cool.
The man got up and asked the other patrons in the restaurant for THEIR leftovers to take home for him and his woman to eat.
Please tell me you think that is insane yes? Other peoples leftovers! People putting their fork in their mouths and putting that fork back into that leftover food over and over again and ANOTHER person is going to take it home and eat it?
Insane yes?

We need to punish the French, ignore the Germans and forgive the Russians - Condoleezza Rice.
