Ok, so the funny story about Pat's birthday dinner is that it was the first time I've ever had enough leftovers that bringing it home made sense so... I asked for a box to take it home in. From earlier discussions about the smaller portions over here and the absence of doggie bags in British society, Pat and I thought this might cause some confusion. The waitress wasn't immediately sure—she had to go consult. She came back and said they'd be happy to box it up as long as I was willing to sign a waiver from the Health & Safety department. We both laughed and I said "sure." So they brought me over a form and a pencil along with my leftovers and I signed away my right to sue them if the leftovers made me sick.
Pat and I got a good laugh about this on the way home. I guess this only happened because my leftovers contained seafood and they can't be held responsible for me putting it into the refrigerator properly and not poisoning myself. Still, it's pretty darn funny. Frankly I'm surprised the US hasn't thought of this one.
So I unwrapped my leftovers and discovered the unique packaging...
It's an old "Rollmop Herring" container (boneless fillets of herring rolled with sliced onion and packed in a marinade) that may have also been used for Tomato Compote, according to the handwritten label on the side, before my pasta leftovers found a home. I just hope it was washed out first—the idea of that combination makes me a little queasy.
I'll let you know if I get sick :)
