[quote=Anonymous]I think the etiquette is for the host to offer to guests.  If the leftover is in a non disposable container the guest brought (eg a big casserole that they are taking home), the etiquette is for the guest to offer to leave all or some for the host.

For something like thanksgiving where there is always too much food, my family is always diving up stuff for people to take, especially younger relatives short on cash or elderly that don’t cook as much.  Also, it’s a bummer for one person to end up with all the extra turkey and someone else to end up with all the extra stuffing, so it makes sense to just divvy up.

I generally have so much extra turkey that I always plan to just bring it downtown and give it to the homeless outside my office, but because I don’t work on Friday it never really works.  I guess I could freeze baggies of it and bring it in next time I go in?  I haven’t thought through the logistics but basically I’m dying for someone to take turkey off my hands.  Why doesn’t someone breed a mini turkey like they breed mini doodles?  [/quote]
