[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We hosted some friends for dinner last night. We provided the meal, one friend offered to bring a dessert. At the end of the night, she gathered up the rest of the apple pie plus the ice cream from our freezer and took it home with her. I found it so strange and it’s definitely something I would never do myself—I always leave the host with the leftovers of whatever I brought, unless they offer I take it home. [/quote]

We’ve had two different friends and their families that do this.  One of DH’s oldest friends in DC does this. We don’t invite them over much because they will bring a ridiculously exact amount of dessert, like one brownie for each person, so like 7 brownies, but easily go through several bottles of wine and seconds and thirds.  If I don’t eat that brownie it’s swiftly packed up and taken home.  One of my oldest friends will do that too.  What’s funny is when we bring food to their house and there’s lots of leftovers, they never ask if we want to take it home (we never do), so it all just seems so cheap and grabby.
