I never (at least rarely) take leftovers with me from a restaurant, whether at home or abroad. First, once I've eaten a meal, I'm through with it. Second, leftovers from a restaurant never reheat well, IMO. Third, if I'm abroad, I have no way to store or reheat leftovers most often. But, if I am dining with my mother, she will take home her leftovers, my leftovers and anything that the people at the next table looks as if they might leave. Oh, brother!!
"...To undersalt deliberately in the name of dietary chic is to omit from the music of cookery the indispensable bass line over which all tastes and smells form their harmonies." -- Robert Farrar Capon
