Unit 22Leftovers

Leftoversare the uneaten edible remains of a mealafter thediner has finished eating. Food scraps that are not considered edible(bones,skins of vegetables and fruits) are not regarded as leftovers,but rather as wastematerial; any remaining edible portions constitutethe leftovers. The ultimate fate of leftovers depends on where themeal was eaten, the preferences of the diner, and the prevailingsocial culture.

Home cooking leftoversare often saved to be eaten later. Thisis facilitated by being in a private environment, with food preservingfacilities such as airtight containers and refrigerationclose at hand.Some leftover food can be eaten cold from the refrigerator, whileothers may be reheated in a microwaveor a conventional oven,ormied with additional ingredients and re!cooked to make a new dishsuch as bubble and s"ueak. #ew dishes made from leftovers are"uite common in world cuisine, and many were created in the daysbefore refrigeration and reliable airtight containers eisted. $esidescapturing nutrition from otherwise inedible bones, stocks and broths

make an ecellent base for adding leftover morsels too small to be ameal themselves. %asseroles,paella, fried rice, andpi&&a can also beused for this purpose, and may even have been invented as a meansof reusing leftovers. 'mong 'merican university students, leftoverpi&&a itself has ac"uired particular in!group significance, though thereare significant risks of eating un!refrigerated pi&&a.

Leftovers from a restaurantmealmay either be left behind tobe discarded by the restaurant, or taken away by the diner for laterconsumption. The container used for such leftovers is commonlycalled a doggie bag or doggy bag; the name comes from theeuphemistic pretence that the food will be given to the diners pet,rather than eaten by a person. oggy bags are most common in

restaurants that offer a take!out food service as well as sit!downmeals, and their prevalence as an accepted social custom varieswidely by location. The term *doggie bag+ is now obsolete in (at least)much of the S'. -hile it is understood, a diner is more likely tore"uest a *takeout bo,+ a *to!go bo,+ or ust a *bo.+ ('fterWikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia)
