It was family style... whole turkey, bowl of mashed, etc. to each table - just like you would get at mom's house on the holidays.... so the leftovers were saved and reserved.

tell me you are kidding!!!!!!
never ate there...thank goodness if you are serious

It's true. They totally would put the potatos and veg back into pots and/or bowls for the next group. Very common practice for "family style" restaurants. Most diners and diner type establishments do the same with cole slaw and pickles that are not eaten and it is very common to do it with bread and rolls.

I remember working in a pizza place in my teens, I would be sent to the tables to get the leftover pizza and bread that people didn't eat. They then would resell it to the next dummy that walked in. Never mind when something fell on the filthy floor that just was picked up and given to you to eat with a smile.
