Opening my purse, extracting Tupperware and handing it to the server raises brows. My companions are so horrified, they can't speak. The server looks at me like he's never seen Tupperware before. Filling up my little paper bag with packets of jam, sugar and cream evokes gasps. People ask if I'm taking the silverware too? - they sound serious, is that fear I detect? No, but if you aren't going to take your leftovers home, can I - and produce another Tupperware container? Teh garnish, you're taking the garnish they ask - what wide open eyes? Of course I'm taking it, its salade!- parley, carrot, lemon and orange salade (clearly, I was ahead of my time).

Yup, that's how I got through my poorest year in college. Given all that experience, the answer is no.

No, Penguin you cannot take the bottle. You must bring your own bottle and decant (I suggest you bring a funnel).

Rural America is my home. I serve diner, gourmet, seven course, and homecooked thoughts — but spare me chain food served on thoughtless trains of thought.
