Help me out here goons. I’m a gormless glutton and all that like a proper goon but are people allowed to claim part of a meal for leftovers or do people eating it during the initial meal take precedence? I’m of the opinion that you can’t claim a portion of the meal for some nebulous future use. Only get what is truly left over. Maybe I should post this on Reddit /r/relationships I dunno

Let’s say I make you a quiche or something and you want seconds but I won’t let you have it because I want to take it to work tomorrow. Is that fair play? Is this the actions of a man who has had ALL he can eat?!?

Do we live together? Are we a couple? Am I someone you see once a year? Do I care about your lunch tomorrow? Is the quiche really, really good? There's a lot of missing information here, help us help you.

people who were not present due to work get 1 or 2 plates made for them. everyone else first come first serve. but youre not allowed to claim just meat from the host. you have to take a variety of leftovers people who didnt show up because theyre lazy or did their holiday somewhere else can eat the scraps thrown to the dog

Nobody gets to claim a portion for later while the meal is still being eaten. If there's anything left after everyone is done eating then it's fair game. Whoever is trying to do this is bullying you, and you don't have to take it.

Back before the Covid I used to hang out In Restaurants and I’d watch people eating their meals like a hawk. The second I noticed they appeared to be done I’d run up to their table and plant my claim flags on any uneaten food on their plates unless, of course, they planted their flags first.

hey OP, I think I can help you out! I've been on the other side of this issue many times! For some of us, one 'serving' is too big, and we'd really like to break it up into two or even three meals! Like, wow this sandwich is great, gonna have half now, half later! This is how I choose to consume my meal temporally... but if someone came along and ate it, I'd be pretty sad, because I was looking forward to eating it. Does this make sense? Back before covid, when I would dine out with friends and acquaintances, people would start eating food off of my plate if I didn't eat it fast enough. Sometimes they wouldn't even ask, they would just start taking my food! I wasn't done with it either. I've also spied people eating off my plate when I would leave to go to the bathroom and return... now, I definitely understand communal dining, but that is not how food is served in many places in North America. I notice you mention you are a glutton, so I think this is a great step! I think maybe gluttony is a sort of 'blindness to empathy' in this case, because you are needlessly feeding your craving and desire at the expense of yourself and others. I hope this helps you understand, OP! Take care!

You want to keep some for lunch, don't put it on the table. As a guest it would be out of line to insist for more. You put the whole thing down, you might have someone ask for a second plate. You can say no. Ultimately, that quiche better be loving good for all the time we've talked about it.

Like no poo poo if you buy a 12 inch sub and only eat half of it I don't have the right to eat the other half, it's your loving sandwich. But if I make a lasagna somebody doesn't get to mark half of it as 'hands off it's for leftovers' if I or other people at the table want to continue to eat lasagna.

we don't always like the answers to the questions we ask, so I feel you there.  but I will definitely follow you around and carry snacks if that will help? Kinda like cyrano de bergerac, except I will slip you a luna bar to chow down on before a social meal instead of a bon mot.

William Henry Hairytaint posted:Yes because I don't think hell astro course understands what you're talking about. yeah wasting food is bad. but I think we should address why a person might feel entitled to a certain amount of part of a consumable object... I feel like the issue here is about how it's being consumed... with communal food it can be a bit more nuanced. It would absolutely be bad if people with hearty appetites were turned away because they were too shy to ask for the delicious food that would not otherwise be consumed!

I didn't realize I needed to conceal a portion of quiche from you so as not to file up your ravenous appetite, in future I'll be sure to cut your food up for you like a child. Noblesse Obliged posted:I like this answer and so I will stubbornly ignore all other info Hahaha Your own goddamn mother! You're a monster OP. In all seriousness though, I think you got to be considerate that you're being fed by someone else a d that they may have already accounted for having leftovers for lunch. If you were still hungry why not ask if you could have something else?

You know what op? You are completely branching off into some unexplored realm of the psyche and human nature. The fact that humanity hasn’t considered this notion until you posted this thread speaks volumes, and I think you should go with the whispers of our ancestors here and let your co-diner to have seconds, and then if there’s anything left over put that in the fridge for later.

I knew a girl who did that, except instead of planting flags she just ate the food directly off of the plates they left behind. She also once found a big cake that was only a little bit old in a dumpster so can't argue about the results (diarrhea).

Season 1 was good, albeit a little formulaic with how they forced in some characters from around town who were there just to round out the cast, but overall laid out an interesting groundwork. Season 2 was a major step up in writing and character development, although shocking considering they moved across the country. Season 3 was some of the best TV in the 2010s, the location shift this time and the time jumps along with the focus on the two main characters was excellent and the International Assassin episode was absolutely Emmy worthy. That would be my general assessment of how you should treat each season.

You're within your rights as the maker of the quiche to do this but its still poor form and hospitality. You can do it but the guest can judge you for it but only silently or behind your back. If someone else made the quiche or you ordered it you're an rear end in a top hat no question.

I even planned to feed you, guess I just didn't plan for you being a goddamn black hole. You should have make 2 quiches then! A second quiche is like zero extra work, and you can have quiche for lunch all week. gently caress it, make 3 quiches. We could both be eating quiche till we're sick! jarofpiss posted:host keeps the leftovers unless they insist on sending them out with people at the end of the night. host cannot reserve leftovers during the event, all food is fair game to even the fattest of guests during the evening Yep, if you don't want to feed people don't invite them to eat. But here's a subtle grey zone area: roommates who ordinarily don't share food, when the offer to share was initiated by the other person. Let's say I make a quiche, and then Noblesse Obliged walks through the door and says "Wow that quiche smells great, can I have some?" If I say yes then they should restrict themselves to a normal portion. Because in that situation I wasn't planning to feed my gluttonous roommate, I was just being nice. And if I see Noblesse reaching for the rest of the pie I'm within rights to say "hey dude that's my lunch for tomorrow, make yourself a sandwich or something." And maybe the yes to the initial question will have some context like "sure, help yourself" or something that implies that you can pig out and eat as much as you want. But in that case you should maybe wash some of the dishes to show appreciation.

Think like... Dog bowl sized, fill it to the brim with every possible thing, mix them all up and wolf it down He would repeat this until he was in physical pain. He would take every possible leftover home. He would eat ENTIRE boxes of donuts and whole birthday cakes if unsupervised. He had to be talked to by management about this. Multiple times. His desk was full of various sauce and salt packets because he would take ALL of them.

Say there’s 4 people, 8 portions, one portion is certainly enough the quality for a full meal, but if you wanna food coma yourself 2 is doable, the host has made it clear it’s okay to split everything/take leftovers, in a typical office break room you’ll usually end up with 2 people who just eat 2 portions cause they don’t wanna worry about it/miss out, but then a stand-off between the fatass that wants to eat a third portion right now and the polite person who only initially took one but would ultimately like to have had that 2nd one as a leftover.

if you lick the surface of the dinner then no one else will want it and you can claim leftovers AND seconds. How did you even make it past elementary school without learning this important rule?

So let’s say I’m married Hahahaha ya I know But let’s pretend for a thought exercise. And my spouse makes a big mass of beef stroganoff. Can they Pre claim a quarter of it for their future meal? Can they only if they cooked it? This is more complicated than I initially thought when I was screeching at my mother
