Here in the US we do. And when a restaurant serves me twice as much food
as I can eat (which they often do), I simply take the remaining portion
home and have it for a later meal. Storing it in the refrigerator until
that time, of course.

Mary and I usually split one entree, and order an appetizer or soup.

I'm sure the wait staff hates it, but I just can't eat the portions that
most restaurants serve -- and if I can, I shouldn't!

That's not the point though.
