Just to stick a note in here - I understand that most of this is true. I understand it to be true. But... erm... sources? >.>; And where's the thing about 'doggie-bags' going out of style, at least here in the US? In Southern California, I hear 'Doggie Bag' about as often as I hear anything else... I admit, that bit is OR, but I 'know' it to be true, and it's a start to try to find something that proves it one way or another.
I concur. Doggy bag is used often in the north east.
Same with other things in this article... >.> And no, I'm not volunteering.68.101.111.170 11:40, 5 June 2007 (UTC) (unsigned cause I couldn't be bothered to sign into my account)

I agree that 'ort' is used with frequency in crosswords. I see 'a bit' listed in the definition, but I always see it clued to foo

What about flavor degradation? I'm curious why roast turkey or beef aren't just dryer the day after, they get odd tastes that get worse over time. I suppose it has something to do with components of the food breaking down in the cooking process, which then oxidize in the air. This should imply that some ways of preserving the food would work better than others, perhaps covering it in water. Carl Ponder (talk) 10:12, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
2 things. A fairly common tradition down here in Australia at least is for a large Christmas lunch, with the leftovers being served up for dinner. Secondly, Shepards pie is tradionally made with leftover roast lamb Annachie (talk) 00:04, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
