Take away food?
Braw?
Can you American-ize this a little?
I'm assuming by take away, you mean take-out (Chinese food?)

Poll is now added I see...What is "Chippy"?

When you say Take-Away, do you mean Take-out?

Pizza. Hands down. The best.

Sorry haha!

Braw is a Scottish colloquialism that basically means 'good'. Depending on the context you use it in it can vary in meaning. For example, if you think a girl is pretty, you could say that she is 'awfy braw looking!'.

Take away basically means take out. As in, fast food places.

Chippy is fish and chip shops.

When I say chips, I mean proper potato chips, not fries.

Agreed 100%! It might have something to do wit hthe fact there are 5 pizzerias in my town.

I like a Chinese food place called Golden Dragon. They make really good fried rice, so I like having that whenever we get food from a take-out place. When I'm getting something for myself, I get one of those $5 pizzas from Little Caesar's.

I love the language of the U.K. However, my favorite is pizza.

BBQ, Texas style.

Can't beat Chinese take out...but not real Chinese, the fake kind the Chinese people make to fool the Americans.

Vietnamese noodle soup and fresh spring rolls. Thanks to this thread I now want to order that. Too bad they're not open at 8.30 in the morning.

Pizza!
And Chinese on special occasions.

 

[Fuyuhanabira]

Chinese take-out FTW. I enjoy both "real" and "amnericanized" varieties. Pizza was a close second though...

 

[TsuKiyoMe]

Pizza for sure for me too!

My school sells like dominoes or something monday annd friday, too bad they overcharge it at $1.50 a slice.

For the fact that everyone thinks British people are oh-so-polite, they're pretty rude to take food away, rather than paying for it and thus acquiring it legally.

However, I don't go to a restaurant to get some food that I take home and eat it at home. I either eat it there, or make food at home.
As far as a fast snack on the go goes...I'll stick with my trusty Döner Kebap!

I'd rather be stolen from then taken out. I don't want to die so someone can get a free meal!

Our ratio of delivered to takeout is rather higher than when I lived in the UK. Interestingly while we have fish'n chips shops they tend to be eat-in; take-out is not a widespread concept here. Odd since so many Canadians have ties to the UK. And the notion of having Indian food - period - is reserved for higher priced eateries, it is not a popular option among the masses, and certainly not as takeout.

More cosmopolitan cities like Montreal, Toronto, or Vancouver may differ.

I am surprised people didn't mention sandwich shops like Subway, fake Mex like Taco Time/Bell, KFC, or the Burgeries, McD, Wendy's, BK, or the strange mutant Arby's.

Here:

Chippy is fish and chip shops.

A chippy is a shop that sells fish and chips (amongst other things).
A chip is like a 'french fry' but fatter.

Thanks for clearing that up! I was always under the impression "chips" were a type of fries. We used to have a chain of "Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips" fast food restaurants in the US and I always thought (never actually had any) the fish was served with fries.

EDIT: Thanks Charlie, for your "chip" information.

Oh, and another vote for Pizza! Yum!!!:smile:
