I never (at least rarely) take leftovers with me from a restaurant, whether at home or abroad.  First, once I've eaten a meal, I'm through with it.  Second, leftovers from a restaurant never reheat well, IMO.  Third, if I'm abroad, I have no way to store or reheat leftovers most often.  But, if I am dining with my mother, she will take home her leftovers, my leftovers and anything that the people at the next table looks as if they might leave.   

  Oh, brother!!
