[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can we move on from discussion around bringing a hostess gift? I think most normal people would agree it’s not a huge deal if someone doesn’t bring one. I would like to know [b]how both sets of guests thought it was OK to ask for leftovers to take home[/b]? It’s one thing if they are offered but I find it strange to ask for them [/quote] That didn't happen, OP added that to justify her outrage.[/quote] Maybe it did happen? I know it would never be done in my circles, but I think in other cultures (aside from white/jewish) it's common to leave with "a plate" for later.[/quote] Down home (not rich) Southern people both white and black will send you with a plate. And it's freaking delicious food. I'm hungry for ham and yams now... [/quote] To leave with a plate, to be sent home with a plate, sure. This is particularly common in certain cultures and is common for large gatherings and potlucks. I think it is rude to ask to take home leftovers, not to accept leftovers that are offered.[/quote] Did OP say if the guests asked or were given leftovers b.c the hosting family offered? [/quote]
