AEE 2461: Leftovers, Culture, and Class

In this episode of the All Ears English podcast, Lindsay and Michelle discuss the cultural implications surrounding taking leftovers home from restaurants. They explore the language used when requesting to-go boxes or doggy bags, and delve into how the act of taking leftovers can be perceived differently across cultures and social classes. They reference a New York Times article discussing a shift in attitudes towards doggy bags, and share personal anecdotes about experiences with leftovers while traveling, and the social dynamics of sharing food and dealing with leftovers in various contexts, including dates and family meals.
