Ok. I misunderstood. It is such a tradition for my guests to pack up leftovers that I intentionally prepare much more food than is needed for the meal. They even bring their own containers! This came from eating at my MIL's al those years and there were never any leftovers. Eating leftovers the next day is an essential part of Thanksgiving, IMO.
Okay. It sounded to me like you were unhappy that people wanted you to serve the drumsticks whole, then no one ate them, then someone took them home.
Trust me - I understand the importance of Thanksgiving leftovers. I'm making a 12-pound turkey for the two of us But when people eat at my house, I will pack up the leftovers they can have.
