In a Pyongyang restaurant, don't ever ask for a doggie bag.

Summary

This quote suggests that in a Pyongyang restaurant, it is not appropriate or culturally acceptable to ask for a doggie bag or take any leftover food to-go. The phrase "doggie bag" typically refers to packaging leftover food to be taken home, commonly associated with Western or casual dining practices. However, in Pyongyang, the implication is that it is disrespectful or frowned upon to make such a request, possibly due to cultural differences or high regard for not wasting food.
