[speaker001:] Morgan, can I ask you a question?
[speaker002:] sure, what is it?
[speaker001:] I was just wondering if many Chinese people take their leftover food home from a restaurant.
[speaker002:] in most cities in China, doggie bags are quite uncommon.
[speaker001:] what happen to all the leftover food?
[speaker002:] it usually goes to the dump.
[speaker001:] that seems like an awful waste! Why don't people order fewer dishes so that they don't have to throw so much away at the end of the meal?
[speaker002:] ordering a lot of food at restaurants is just a tradition in China. You know, in the past, people could not afford to eat out like they can today.
[speaker001:] I guess that makes sense. I just think it would make more sense to take the leftovers home.
[speaker002:] well, if you want, you can take the leftovers home.
[speaker001:] no, that's OK. You know what they say when in Rome...
[speaker002:] I was impressed that you tried the pig's feet. I heard that many foreigners don't like to eat them.
[speaker001:] many people in my generation don't eat pig's feet, but my parents grew up eating them, so I think they are OK.
[speaker002:] did you like them? You could take the last one home with you.
[speaker001:] that's OK. I'll try anything once, but sometimes, once is enough!
