My family,after picnics and get togethers n such,almost always swap leftovers.We love doing this cause usually it means 1 extra meal or lunch that week that noone has to cook

But I know some people just don't do leftovers.

How about you???

No...I might take them with good intentions but we never eat them. We're just not 'leftover' people. If I'm hosting a party or family holiday celebration, I offer for my sisters/family to take what they want and they sometimes do. We just don't often have a lot left over to tell you the truth! LOL!

Yes we do! Helps the food from being wasted and means it's a meal that we don't have to cook. My family has no problems with leftovers.

My MIL ALWAYS makes deviled eggs. She always sends some home with them. Dh is the only one in our home to eat them and he usually forgets them.

But yes we usually share leftovers.

My MIL always sends home tons of left overs.When I know I am going there I will plan my menu around it since there is so much and she never wants to keep any of it and sends it all home.Saves on the grocery bill and it is things I normally would not make since she doesn't worry about expensive dishes to make.We love it!

yes, we do. especially when there is a lot of food and you don't get a chance to taste it all. this way you get to without killing yourself.

Oh. I remember one of my bosses was Filipino and had the best parties. Everyone had a specialty that they made for every party and then all the left overs were split up and send home with each person attending. They were so good! They got me hooked on Filipino food. I so miss the real homemade stuff!

We share food if its at our house, and we take if its at our mothers houses. No point in food going to waste if other people will eat it.
