Hello Alkas Poetry, Alkas, this did happen at a restaurant I was having a meal there, the couple ordered their steaks and wine. They drank more wine forgot about their food, so took it home. I was shocked! Who eats cold steaks? Not me. Salute Darlen

Hi Darlene, Depending on each restaurant and what people order. Here in the USA, it's not unusual to take food home. What bothers me in restaurants is couples not communicating to each other But playing on cell phones instead.))) Panagiota

Hello Panagiota,I know that people bring food home. What i am surprised about is when the steak only has two bits, and asked to put in a take bag.Also people chatting on cells phones while eating their meals bother me.or playing games {{Darlene

Hello Timothy, yes I would say it was a great start to a great evening. I was surprised that a steak would be boxed to be reheated. ning my friend.

Simple and short poem but calls for curious questioning on how to know what happened next. Nice work Darlene...

Hello Nette,the couple did have quality time- I noticed that they were in deep conversation while they were there.The food was hardly touched.That is why they asked for a take out box. Thank you for the lovely comment. Hugs.Have a nice day my friend.

No...I usually make a cold sandwich with mine. Soft bread and butter, cut up steak and yum. (,

Hello Vickie hurtt Thayer, you have done this very thing! This is the first time I have seen this happen. So is a steak heated up still tasting the same as the first time? Thank you for the lovely comment. Have a nice day my friend.
