I have never asked to take leftovers home from a dinner party- it wouldn't even occur to me.
At Pot Lucks the hostess has asked that guests take leftovers home, but for the guest to bring her own containers and do this at a regular dinner party, it is strange.
Do you know much about her personal life? Is she exceedingly poor or badly in debt?
She could have been more tactful by not asking for seconds and leaving them uneaten, but by saying, "That was delicious! Would you mind if I took some leftovers home? I just happen to have some containers in my car."
Any gracious host would be more than happy to oblige. It would still be a bit of a cheap move, but at least within the bounds of decent social practice.
In late Dec, I invited this gal over for lunch. I made a tasty beef stew with cognac, lots of freshly roasted herbed vegetables, and garnished with creme fraiche. For dessert, we had warm berries topped with cream whipped with Frangelico, toasted and ground hazelnuts, and cardamom.
May we have recipes, please?
He posted it a page back. Only time he responded to the entire thread, I believe.
What? I have never heard of such a thing! The food is already paid for whether its eaten or not.
It is very common at Asian restaurants with buffets. If you leave uneaten food on your plate they charge extra for it. I absolutely refuse to go to these places.

I have never heard of it but I like that idea. Keeps douches away who put too much on their plates ... several times .... and then don't eat it. I wonder what the psychology is behind that - a power trip?
Could have been worse - at least she didn't bring her family along to have some, too.
Hey...watch out for next time!
