leftovers — food remaining after a meal has been finished

a mother carefully places half-eaten dishes and remaining food into clear containers. She scoops rice, vegetables, and pieces of chicken from serving plates into storage containers.

A father helps by stacking dirty plates while a child points to a container of remaining pasta. The kitchen counter displays several filled containers ready for refrigerator storage. food remaining after a meal has been finished
