Takeaways: Food for Thought

[Myriad2112]

Why is it that an Indian takeaway ALWAYS comes in a brown paper bag and a Chinese takeaway ALWAYS comes in a white plastic bag?

[REDHEAD24]

my chinese dont - he brings it in his hands and i eat my order from his hands on my doorstep

i thought everyone did this

[Myriad2112]

Oh no he doesn't!

Mine too. Mind you the brown bags are always swimming with the oily sauces from the curry containers. Maybe they soak up the sauces!!

My indian takeaway comes in a white plastic bag containing foil trays full of my ordered goodies (not a brown paper one). No idea about Chinese, sorry.

[Myriad2112]

Maybe you have Chinaman running your Indian?

Our Indian takeaways always come in a silver carrier bag while the Chinese takeaways always come in those flimsy white bags that always take ages to burst as they tie them to tight.

Like kebabs I think the brown paper bag is to deter you from getting take away at all as most will leak on the car seat. Maybe they would rather you ate there to make it look busy.

Many Chinese only do take away so would have no benefit from ruining your car upholstery.

I reckon the brown bags soak up the oil from the curries. Chinese food tends to be less oily so plastic bag will do. Also maybe people order more from the Indian and that is why the bags are so big? I dunno! How many "items" do you order when going to the Indian, compared with the chinese?
