Re: Clean your plate
I always clean my plate, except for the obvious whole spices, pits, bones etc. I don't like it when people leave food in the plate, should take small servings in the first place.
Re: Clean your plate
^ Serving size of restaurants is not in our control. What do you do in a restaurant?
Re: Clean your plate
I admit I finish up even if I am stuffed. I just don't like throwing away food.
Re: Clean your plate
so you use your body as a trash can instead of throwing food away in a real one :(
Re: Clean your plate
It doesn't happen often, just once in a while.. I order sensibly but if something does get extra I finish it or if it's served in bowls rather than individual servings we get it packed.
Re: Clean your plate
Do you guys ask for carry out for the left over food when you cant finish it in restaurant? Its quite common practice here in USA although dont remember seeing it in Pakistan.
Re: Clean your plate
It's common in Pak too.. just ask 'bhai ye baki zara pack kar dena' :D

Re: Clean your plate
I finish what ever I have in my plate (except for bones , whole spices etc. off course!) I take small serving in my plate .......I don't like to throw away food. Its a waste & gunnah and I consider leaving food in plate as bad manners.
Re: Clean your plate
I have grown up with mom telling me " look at those who dont get enough food " lecture … and " Its bad manners " lectures from boarding school wardens … and now husband 's" saaf kro plate" lectures 
I try hard, but sometimes I cant balance the roti and the salan , so some of it is left over , which i dont throw away , I just keep it back in the fridge and use the left over salan over the next meal … hubby gets so angry and so does mom … and I always get "herkatay nai badale gi " lecture …
As long as i am not wasting the food , aaal is well 
…
Re: Clean your plate
Depends on how hungry i am. If I am hugry i will eat everything that is on my plate except the bones and plate itself of course.
Normally I do not fill my plate too much. Take a lil which I know i can finish.
Re: Clean your plate
I would gladly eat the bones too, love bones of smaller birds etc but bigger bines are a bit harder to mash up… but yeah if i can eat the bones i will. 
Re: Clean your plate
People should only put on their plate what they can eat. Start off small, you can always have more later that's what we were taught. I've followed this throughout life and i've never put more on my plate that I can eat hence I don't waste.
Other than that, I don't eat bones it's haraam to eat them! plus they don't look tasty, eugh
I do however eat melon/watermelon seeds, and the whole core of an apple as that's pure fibre and it's good for you.
^Its Haram to eat bones??? 
Plus you’re not literally eating the bone, right… I gathered people chew them and sorta clean them up and call that eating bone, no?
Khala ji, this thread is for the people jin ko adaab nahi aatay. Wo bechaaray kiya karain? Khana khanaa choR dain ?
He must be refering to the way you wash dishes, not the way you eat off them 
Eating bones is haraam 
Re: Clean your plate
I never waste. As a kid I was repeatedly lectured by mom on how there are millions of hungry people in the world who would hope to get even half of what's on my plate... Now, I always start off with very little on my plate and go for seconds only if I'm still hungry instead of loading the plate with too much to begin with and then wasting some of it.
Re: Clean your plate
No one is talking about how they deal with restaurant servings .. not every time left over restaurant food is worthy of bringing back home .. .
Re: Clean your plate
I usually pack if the food is real good otherwise I donate to the restaurant
