Been thinking about this, I like take away it's perfect for those times when I am too tired or lazy to cook.

So I got to thinking which kind of takeaway food do I like the most?

Pizza?
Chinese?
Indian?
Burgers?
Fish and chips?
Kebabs/wraps?

I'll start with my favourite.

Pizza

What's not to love about about a nice big 16 inch pizza, all that delicious cheese melting everywhere, the meaty pepperoni, tangy peppers and my favourite toppings of all - mushrooms.

I also love all of the options, do I choose deep pan or thin base, stuffed crusts or regular. Do I add extra toppings or do I just pick one of the preset pizza's from the menu.

One day I will need to go through every pizza on my local Pizza guy's menu (no dominoes here, too small a town for that).

That said when it comes to pizza there is one golden rule - no pineapples.

If you want pineapples that's fine but we will be ordering two pizzas because of this, I will order a separate pizza without pinapples for me, I will not even touch a pizza that has had pineapple on it, so don't bother picking them off.

So GAF, which is your favourite and why?

Burgers..... Ahhhhhhh Burgers Burgers Burgers. They are the biggest joy in live for me aside of gaming.

Too bad I can't eat one for two months cuz I'm on a diet now... I gained 4kg and I want to lose them.

 

[Greddleok]

Gyros.

Burgers.
More burgers.
A lot more burgers.
I really like burgers, man.

 

[Scuba Steve]

Good Chinese/Thai food is great because I can dip into like 5 different things for a meal. Looking at the take out menu though gives me an existential crisis every time though.

 

[- J - D -]

Chinese. I'd say Pizza, but Chinese food has more variety.

 

[Lightning Count]

Gyros.

I don't know what that is.

 

[Troubled Bat]

Best take-out? Asian food of course.

 

[pa22word]

A good burger is terrible for takeout, as it would be soggy by the time you start eating it anyways. I mean McD's or whatever at 3 am is one thing, but generally I'd never order a burger for takeout.

Pizza is the best, chinese next.

 

[Summer Haze]

Chicken tikka korma with keema naan, onion bhaji with mint sauce, and fried rice.

Second favourite is Pork Satay with rice, with an order of crispy shredded beef in szechuan sauce.

 

[Permanently A]

I don't know what that is.

I'm so sorry.

 

[EhoaVash]

usually pizza or Indian food.

indian food is usually cheaper and come with a shit ton of stuff

 

[Princess Viola]

Chinese food

All day long.

Actually just had some left-over lo mein noodles for lunch today.

 

[triplestation]

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Sausage and Chips or Saveloy and Chips from a chippy

I need to figure out where the fish & chip shops get those sausages from at some point. They're awesome

 

[Goldenroad]

Pizza
Tacos
Thai
Indian
Chinese

in that order.

 

[Lightning Count]

I'm so sorry.

Looks delicious, over here Ithink we would just call that a wrap.

 

[Qurupeke]

Gyros. Cheaper than the other options and it's everywhere here.

 

[Lightning Count]

Eating some delicious mushroom fried rice with Chinese beef curry as I read the replies.

 

[Fjordson]

Chinese or pizza. They just work perfectly.

 

[TemplaerDude]

Pizza. Then probably a burger. Poutine. Decent poutine.

 

[milanbaros]

Indian food. Love it from Southall, London.

 

[Head of Vengarl]

In N Out or Five Guys burgers. So good.

 

[Linkstrikesback]

McDonald's, but my local fish and chip shop is pretty much crap, and those are the only 2 takeouts I eat.

 

[Rocketz]

Thai - chicken Pad Thai medium spice
Middle Eastern - Chicken Shawarma wrap with a Fattoush and a side of pita and garlic sause

 

[Gravy Boat]

I love pizza, but you also can't beat a battered sausage supper from the chippy.

Also kebabs. I'm not fond of Chinese food.

 

[darscot]

Take away I can't really pick a favorite, I just rotate between them all.

Street food, Donair is the easy winner for me.

 

[Icefire1424]

Legit BBQ. I'm fortunate enough to drive close enough to Dinosaur BBQ on my commute home so that when the mood strikes, some smoked pork ribs or pulled pork is never too far away.

 

[SecretDan]

I don't know what that is.

Do you know what Google is?

 

[PassiveObserver]

Do you know what Google is?

His search returned "Did you mean: wraps?"

 

[Bacon]

Chinese for sure. I could bathe in general tso's sauce. (if you know what i mean)

 

[humansarehorses]

Chicken over rice covered in white sauce.

 

[The Praiseworthy]

Burgers.
More burgers.
A lot more burgers.
I really like burgers, man.

I will go to the dark corner and cry now :'( ........

 

[E92 M3]

Five Guys is great, but they have this aversion to toasting their rolls.

 

[tiebreaker]

Gyros. Cheap, quick, and still delicious.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Thai as it travels well.

 

[makingmusic476]

Burgers.

Then Chinese.

Then maybe burritos from Izzo's.

 

[Fluvian]

Depends what variety of drunk or high I am.

Weed > Pizza
Beer > Chinese
Hard liquor > breakfast McD's
MDMA > Indian food

 

[Machine]

Looks delicious, over here Ithink we would just call that a wrap.

I believe American gyro is very, very similar to Euro doner kebab.

 

[pa22word]

Five Guys is great, but they have this aversion to toasting their rolls.

Exactly! I mean what's the point of take out when the burger is ruined about about 4 mins after you leave? I mean if you're ordering it and then sitting out in the parking lot munching down then whatever, but kind of defeats the spirit of "take out" imo.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

Pizza
Chinese

Only two that matter.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

Chinese for sure. I could bathe in general tso's sauce. (if you know what i mean)

I know what you mean. Just had some General Tso's Chicken on Saturday.

 

[johnsmith]

I wish I was Scottish

 

[bootsthecat]

Personally, probably pizza. iirc, we have the largest per capita concentration of non-chain pizza places. Tons of good variety.

Speaking of gyros though, finally a place opened up about a year ago locally that adds fries to them, as god intended (this is how I remember them from the last time I was in Greece).

 

[Fluvian]

I wish I was Scottish

My three visits to glasgow have shown me that their insane takeaways should be done in extreme moderation, my friend Frankie up there eats that stuff every day and doesn't gain weight, he's a fucking mutant I tell you.

 

[Falchion]

Pizza, chicken, chinese, or burgers. Can't go wrong with any of them.

 

[smurfx]

local chinese food place.

 

[Quote]

Without hesitation, a burger. I can always go for a burger and there's always a good burger to be had.

I also love hot dogs but that's not a take-out/fast food item as much as it should be. At least anywhere I've ever lived.

Pizza would be up there too, but since I moved from South Florida, which had good NY-like pizza due to snow birds and retirees, to Austin and now Los Angeles, I've given up on pizza for the most part. Though Pieology is good for that boutique style.

 

[TsunamiOfSwagger]

Chinese is the best, followed by pizza. Ham and pineapple pizza.

 

[chrisPjelly]

Thai food from the town centre food court

I wish I was Scottish

I can see the grease dripping out of my computer
