Dear Queenie,
When I go to a restaurant and there is food left over I ask for a “doggie bag” to take it home with me.
Queenie, is it okay to do that after a big dinner at a friend’s house?—Leftover Etty Ket
Dear Etty Ket,
It is okay to accept the leftovers at a friend’s house if they are offered, but it is not a good idea to ask for them. Your friend might be counting on the leftovers for their next meal.
