[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my circles, it is very common for people to divvie up all dishes equally, and take their share of their dish in the serving container.

Lets assume that there are 6 couples, and every couple  brought a dish.  At the end of the meal, each couple will divide the leftover for their dish in 6 parts and put it in disposable containers.  They will leave their share in the serving dish they had got, and will take back their share of the dish they made in their own serving ware. That way the host does not have to wash the guest's serving dish, or divvy the food etc.

In our circles, every household had restaurant quality doggy bag containers and ziplock bags, just for this purpose. [/quote]
Also - the hostess will let the guests know that she wants all the food to be divvied up.  If the hostess does not say anything then the food remains with the hostess. No body takes their food or container back. [/quote]

[b]Where are these rules coming from?[/b] Did op let the guests know what she wanted to do? Doesn’t sound like she had this rule book and wanted people to read her mind and yet they took the food anyway. [/quote]

Polite society. This is where these rules come from. You are socialized with them from your family of origin, and if not, you should learn culturally throughout social activities, work and school. [/quote]

Are you new here? We are not all of the same culture or background. What’s rude to you is customary to someone else.[/quote]
