Doggy Bag? Bring Tin Foil!

Three cheers for Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, a dashed good egg! Hugh reckons we all ought to ask for doggy-bags every time we cannot finish our meals at restaurants. Why not? So much food is wasted nowadays - one only has to look at the piles of unwanted food left on plates.

I'd go a stage further: why not bring some tin-foil in your pocket? I hate to leave good food on my plate, whether it's because there is too much of it or whatever. My mental mantra is Waste Not, Want Not.

It could even be brought home as a treat for the pet - which probably explains the term Doggy-Bag - or, in our case, the magpies!
