Leftovers from a restaurant meal may either be left behind to be discarded by the restaurant, or taken away by the diner for later consumption. In order to take the food away, the diner may make a request for it to be packaged. The container used for such leftovers is commonly called a doggy bag.
The ultimate fate of leftovers depends on where the meal was eaten, the preferences of the diner, and the prevailing social culture
