吃 菜 尾子 |
Eat the leftover. You have to see that after a banquet is over, such as one served right after the wedding ceremony, how much is left! Because not to waste is one of the virtues valued in the Taiwanese traditions, the leftover from the banquet will be collected and distributed to relatives. Nowadays, there might be a better system of taking care of this stuff. To me, it is only reasonable that a shelter be easily contacted and the leftover swiftly taken care of so that nothing is wasted. Do not forget that the dishes the leftover stuff came from were delicious and expensive, although the cost was mostly covered by the guests gifting the hosts with "ang5bao1 [紅包] (red envelopes.)" |
