Left Over

I would have been shocked, too. But to tell you the truth, I have seen my own Mother do it. She never did that when I was growing up. I just don't get it. I save leftovers for lunch. When I was still working, I usually took them for my lunch. Now I still save them for lunch at home. Or if it's a lot, we usually have it for supper. I can't stand to waste anything.

I try never to throw food out unless it's inedible. I can't stand it when people do that. In my opinion, she should have offered the left overs to you to take home. Or, she should have waited until you left before she threw them out. People who throw good food out shouldn't complain if they don't have enough money to buy more food. There are a lot of hungry people in the world who don't have any.

I always eat the leftovers, lots of time the same way and sometimes I change the recipe a bit but I never throw out anything unless it is bad, I even feed my cats with it too if I have to.

I can understand you. When we were little, we were also taught not to waste the food. As there are still many people in the world who are starving. I know some people live very well, but it doesn't mean that it's OK to waste the food. If they can't eat so much, then just cook less. It is a bad habit to waste the food. I don't mind eating the left over. In fact I even pack the left over when I can't finish the dishes in the restaurant. I don't feel ashamed to it at all. I love China

I save the leftovers when we have them for either lunches the next day or supper for the next night. Sometimes I combine it with other things to make something else and it turns out great. If there is an enormous amount left over I will freeze some of it for a later date, that way it doesn't spoil sitting in the fridge to long. I too have a few friends who do the same thing and think that they should learn to save instead of wasting. Especially with the food prices rising more and more.

My parens save left overs. I don't understand why people would throw it away. It's still perfectly good food, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. Sometimes left over food is the best food.

I was raised to be thrifty and always save the left over of next meal. It's a good virtue. Besides, we should be grateful to have surplus of food. There are millions of people in the world are still starving. I will feel guilty to throw away the left over. Usually I will keep the food in the fridge and heat it up before another meal. But right now I staying alone, away from my home town. I seldom cook and usually have my meal at the food stall, hawker center or restaurants. So I won't the problem of saving the left over because the ration is just enough for 1 person and I will always finish it all.

Actually I stick in a bowl with a lid and Hubby usually has it the next day for lunch. I don't throw food out unless it's gone bad or neither of us will eat it. It seems pretty wasteful to just thow out perfectly good food. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

I also was taught to save the left overs and eat it for lunch the next day or dinner if your being lazy lol

i keep them refrigerated for the next day, or i make another recipe out of the left over, it's not fair to throw away food. there's people that would do anything just to find something to eat
