Doggy Bag
5 Answers
I know this means that if you were in a restaurant and didn't eat all your meal that you could ask for a 'doggy bag' for the rest of the meal so you can take it home. Where did it come from though?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Here is the US, doggie bags WERE originally so restaurant patrons could bring home the meat scraps to their dogs. However, it has evolved into just asking for a doggie bag to bring them home for later human consumption as well. We are shameless and don't mind having a wait person bag-up our leftovers to eat later. If I am alone I often even ask them before hand to just put the salad (dressing on the side)in a 'to go' box since I know I will not be able to consume the entire meal.
