[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally, I hate the idea of anyone thinking I'm rude so I would definitely leave whatever food I brought unless host asked me to take it.

BUT as a host, if I had people bringing a lot of food to my house I may want them to take the leftovers back because: I don't have room to store it all, don't want to have to wash and return the dishes, won't be able to eat all the leftovers before they go bad, etc. then I would ask them to take their food back with them/would be cool with it if they took the food back with them.

If it was something that seems more like a hostess gift (nice bottle of wine or store-bought specialty dessert item or something similar), then I think it's weird if they take it back because it's the type of item you'd bring intending it to be a gift and that the host would undoubtedly assume was to be a gift so it would be very awkward if a guest took something like that back.

Since you're talking brunch, IDK it really depends...I don't want my guests' leftover breakfast casserole but I [i]would[/i] want the leftover chocolate croissants from the bakery.  :lol: [/quote]

I have boys, there would never be leftover chocolate croissants…sigh[/quote]
