[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Might be a remnant of the time when people packed food for road trips.[/quote]

Don't people still do this? We do. With small kids it's so much easier than standing in line at some rest stop, plus I have always hated fast food so I'm much happier bringing a sandwich or whatever. We do a long road trip once a year to visit family in the mid-West. We've made an art of packing the cooler and, unless it's pouring, we do all our stops at state parks or playgrounds so the kids can eat and run around. Even on our other trips in the Northeast to see family, we are certainly not the only ones at rest stops pulling out the PB&J sandwiches for the kids and the leftover whatever-it-is for DH and me.

I would be happy to take leftovers if (a) I liked them the first time around and (b) I actually planned to eat them. With a lot of my grandparents' or cousins' cooking, quite frankly, neither is true, so I make some excuse like "the cooler is full" or "we brought all the food we need for the trip, see if cousin X wants it instead."[/quote]
