My random thought for the day.

Do you eat Chinese food out of the take-out containers?

We never do. But when I see people on TV eating Chinese food, it is always out of the containers (is this so we know they are eating Chinese food?)

Can you guess what I am eating for lunch?

I do eat it out of the containers, yes. Most people I know do it as well. DH is the only one I know who transfers it to a plate!

Yes if we order individual combo dishes. No if we order dishes to share.

SAme thing... but did you know that those containers actually break down to be turned into a plate - if you unfold it all the way, those cartons turn into a plate.

This is true too. Just the rice. Now it's all plastic with lids.
Kind of a step back in environmentally friendliness no?

Yup, but we usually either order lo mein or a combo meal with the rice included in the container.

Our local place only uses plastic containers now.

eta: and we only eat with chopsticks

My random thought for the day.

If I order it at work for lunch then out of the container. When we order for dinner and DH and I share stuff then on the plate.

Re: My random thought for the day.

We take the containers, put them in the middle of the table, with the table set with dishes and whatnot... And then each container gets a serving spoon or a fork --- and then we pass them around and spoon food onto our individual plates.

So, no, we don't eat DIRECTLY out of the container.

That - communal eating out of the container, to me, just seems like an incubus of germ invested viral plague just waiting to happen. Chat Icon
