in the US they say to-go but everywhere else they say take away so i had to search my mind [which yes, is turning to mush from lack of using any real brain power] for the word to-go.
here, they don't have containers to put your food if you are not eating at the restaurant. you have to bring your own. so if you want food delivered this is what happens:
anyways, cooking here is so much nicer at my new house but i still get take away sometimes from some restaurants. take away here is different than to go elsewhere and it's environmentally better than what we do in the west because of the packaging waste but it creates a process.
here, they don't have containers to put your food if you are not eating at the restaurant. you have to bring your own. so if you want food delivered this is what happens:- you call the restaurant and place and order and get the cost
- you call your motorcycle guy who runs these kinds of errands for you. these guys, even though they are also your boda driver are called picki pickis because they are picking something up for you.
- your picki picki then comes by your house and collects the cash and the containers and takes them to the restaurant
- the restaurant then fills your order and the picki picki brings back to your house.
usually the order will be wrong but it's food and you didn't have to cook right?
think about that next time you spoiled westerners order a food delivery.
