Thank you for making sure that delicious looking food didn't go to waste :-D They waste a lot of food in the Netherlands? I wouldn't have guessed. I always imagine it to be some a progressive open-minded place.

Your hometown looks so peaceful!

Well, I know the doggy bag is a relatively new thing there that has blown over from the US I guess. I don't think there's much else to do with a half-eaten plate of food than to either put it in a doggy back or throw it away.

There are ways in which we battle food waste though. Some stores now sell the less attractive vegetables that usually don't make it to the store. They are still perfectly good food, but just look weird, so they sell them for a lower price to make sure they don't go to waste.
