Do you leave food on your plate?

At home, there is general instructions for all that no one should waste the food and whatever they can eat, only that much they should take. Unless someone feel that food is not tasty on a particular day, then it is a waste. When we go to restaurant, mostly it is the curry or some roits remain which no one wants, we ask the waiter to pack it. It is consumed next day, after it is refrigerated.

No not at all.I serve myself the amount I eat.I can see a hungry face on a food left in a plate always.It is a kind of sin to waste food.

No, I always try to finish my food in the plate, even if I do not like any dish...I do not leave it in the plat...it looks very bad to me. I don't feel like licking it but finishing it with a spoon. If I am in a resturant, I order that much, which I can consume. Excellent Post!

Oh No. I just would not leave even a small crumb of food as remnant in my plate...

hi faith210 just wanna tell that my mom doesn't allow us to leave food on plate she wanted us to finish it before be get up from the dinning table..

Hi Faith! Left over food I keep and eat the next day. I let the cat lick the plate. He loves that, sometimes I leave a little extra fish or meat for him to eat. If I put the food in his dish, he won't eat it. He wants to be human. I don't mind to order or make too much, cause then I don't need to cook the next day. Just warm it up, and sometimes I don't even do that. Well gotta go to my BF sisters. They are twins and are having there birthday party today. I would rather stay at home, but once I am there it will be fun. It usually is. Take care my friend. Hugs and Blessings. Have a great day.

I usually eat everything on my plate. Unless its something I dont like or Im full. Then I will through it out. I hardly ever have leftovers.

My mom will be angry when i left my rice in my place. She always said; "If you can't finish your meal don't ever took to much food on your plate, your father and i work so hard to gets this food serve on the table" lol And she is right

If someone put the food on my plate and it's too much I say I can't finish it. I'll take a smaller plate and get only what I know I can finish. Sometimes in the church potlucks there or parties there are so much good foods to enjoy and choose from. What I normally do is get a at least one bite size for each and then I'd go back for more for those that I liked best.

Oh no I never leave any food in my plate, thats the number one rule of my father since I was akid and until now that I have my own family. I still remember when I was a kid everytime we sit in the dining table to eat. My parents always reminds me always get food that I can only eat and don't get too much I can't consumed. Even now I have my own family I do always remind my daughters about that thing. If were eating in a resto and there's a food left we take out it and we sometimes give to the children on the street or to the beggars.

i never leave any food on my plate as except if i dont like it or i am full... but if ever i am full and there are still food on my plate my husband will eat it as long as he still hungry lol

I will always make it a point to finish my food, because I always remember those kids in Africa, India, Indonesia and all parts of the world who are "starving" and have nothing to eat, really. I appreciate my food and will not want it to go to waste. If I know I'm not that hungry, I will just put a small portion. Rarely do I not finish my food, unless I'm really sick or something. Good discussion here, my friend. Take care and happy posting to you.

I never leave food on my plate.. My mom always remains me about never leave the food on our plate, because there is some people outside that still lack of food--also we must thankful that we can still eat many things ^_^ Yap, I only order the food that i can finish it or I share my portion to my brother because he has a big stomach :P I will pack left-over food and give it to some beggar in the street or some people who really need the food

well i do sometimes leave food on plate i know its not a good habit and i try my best not to leave food on my plate as my mom gets very angry when i do so.....m still trying and will succeed soon......have a good day

I dont like to waste food at all. I take only so-much that i can digest and and do not waste. As in Indian culture we sholud not waste food, because it has god in it. So wasting food is equal to insulting the food-giver. try your best not to waste food. Cook only so-much that your food is not wasted.

Most of the leftovers go to my lil doggies. Its their treat. They really enjoy some changes and this is a very big deal to them . No food ever gets wasted. With two rat terriers and a chihuahua....and the littlest one has the bigest appetite of all lol

Most of the time my wife cooks the food for me. But when I have to eat at a restaurant I order just the amount I can manage. I never leave leftovers. I don't like to waste things.

Hi.. i was taken by surprise when i saw a topic of yours in the page " discussions my friends started". With all hopes.. i logged to see this topic...hmmmm... one year ago.. .. not to disappoint myself i started to writing.. may be i would have answered it earlier.. I will not say.. i lick it clean,.. but i never waste any food.. Take care friend.

I dont like to left any food items in plate. I usually take those foods which I like most and which is aaptizing. And I dont want to waste it.

sometimes, i do sometimes not...if i have some left over in a restaurant, i take it home, so that i can eat again later when i get hungry or give it to my dogs at home...
