Poll question: When You Get Chinese Takeout...
Do you always have leftovers?

We can never order Chinese without having leftovers.

1. I'm always amazed when people eat all their Chinese food in one sitting
Edited on Thu Dec-02-04 06:28 PM by tridim
I usually get at least two meals out of one order, sometimes more. I get ripped off at Chinese buffets.

Edit: I should add that it depends on if I order off the lunch or dinner menu.

6. I always order an extra egg roll
for breakfast. Forget cold pizza, egg rolls for breakfast rock.

We always get at least 3-4 meals out of an order (I eat about half as much as a regular person, so it goes a long way).

9. I thought that was the whole point!
You get two maybe three meals - no cooking for a few nights!

13. Yes, but we plan it that way.
You HAVE to have leftovers of Chinese food! It's a rule. And the leftovers are soooooo good!

I guess I know what I want for supper tomorrow night.
