Look at the bay leaf thread. I'm supposed to like bay leaves and
crave them in everything.

It was a running joke that people used to laugh about. I'm taking
this home to the dog - wink, wink.

Well, it does keep the typing skills building, and occasionally you learn a
new curse word or a new cutting phrase, which always comes in hand IRL. ;-)

The only place that I occasionally have more than I can eat is at a
Mexican restaurant. There's no reason not to take home the other half
of the burrito or something similar. Unless you have been to a
particular Mexican restaurant before there really is no way to judge
the amount of food given by description or dollar amount. I'm talking
about places in my city, not Bothel or SF.

Sometimes I don't feel like finishing something right at that time, so I
take it home and usually have the next day. However, we really don't go out
to restaurants much anymore, so no doggy bags much at all, and my dogs eats
as good as I do anyway.

Yeah. I'm not against bay leaves, I just don't remember to use them
because other than that one recipe - IMO, there's no need.

I happened to have the TV on some channel early this morning that I don't
normally watch. They were talking about some part of Africa where 5 years
ago, children were starving. The US stepped in, gave them food and now
those kids are obese. They said the food they were given was processed but
didn't say exactly what it was.

I don't mind be presented with too much. I just eat what I want of it.

I think the most overage I've had was a little hole in the wall spot in
Korea. We probably ordered a family/group meal by accident and invited
others to help us eat it all up. We didnt speak Korean and they didnt
speak english but we had a ball anyways!

The term dates to before kibble. Sheldon at best is the only one who
recalls that era.

Not for me. I'm sure no one will care if I don't participate anymore but
**** 'em. I'll post when I want and to whom I want. It might not be as
often if it keeps going like this. "Ophelia" I think we've had a few
head butts with each other and you're entitled to your opinion about
Americans and I'll just fling it right back when I feel like it.

I feel very much the same way and I will do exactly that myself. I would
sooner get along with everyone than I would want to argue with them, but as
they say...it is what it is, and it goes where it goes.

I was watching a show on Korean cooking this morning and one thing she
said was all dishes are meant to be shared, so you simply ordered more
than you could eat in one sitting.

I don't know why you have dog kibble on your mind, it doesn't enter
the picture. It had everything to do with the mind set of the fifties
- too infra dig to be seen taking it home.

I don't ever remember having a 'head butt' with Cheryl. I always admired
her and liked her very much. I guess it just shows how wrong you can
be. As for my opinion about Americans, in general I like them but if
they insist on taking offence when there is none intended, not sure what I
can do. I am still mystified as to how that subject was taken as a insult
to all Americans, calling them fat!!!! It seems they are calling
themselves fat and it is All My Fault!

First it was the subject line that caused the offence and then it changed to
the piece where I laughed. <shrug> if they can't make up their minds which
insult it is, how the hell am I supposed to know. It seems to me they just
want to take offence at anything and everything I write!!!

I would implore those people to put me in their kf and let me get on as I
do, with people who are happy to converse with me.

We Americans don't all share one mind.

Dried pet/animal feed (kibble) has been around long before me.

Chinese restaurant waitstaff all over NYC would ask if you wanted your
leftovers packed to bring home, asked when you ordered dessert and
before they cleared the table, never needed to ask them... and there
was never a mention of dogs or cats. LOL

At 6-7 years old my cousin and I would mooch Milk Bone Dog Bisquits to
snack on.

It is the same with most of the Chinese restaurants here if there is any
amount of leftover food worth taking. When I was working we often went
to one particular Chinese place where I usually ordered a dish called
War Bar, sort of a spiced up version of Cantonese chow mien. I usually
only ate about 1/3 of it and took the rest home for my wife and son.

Exactly. It's not uncommon in that eastern asian culture. You have to
understand how they eat. Food is placed at the middle and there is a
small plate by each person to shift food to. It's a little like
earlier 50's foods where Mom put it in the center and you served
yourself. Same concept.

A lot of people (USA and elsewhere) do that.

A Korean if they tried serving an American roasted turkey would put it
at the center of the table and carve slices to a side plate and you'd
snagg some off there as it was passed about. Same concept and action
used.
