Did you feel that "dining out" meant going to a restaurant ?

Question

Apparantly not here .

"What is your best burger", or "where are the best take-away kebabs"

Seem to be typical questions.

Do you feel this is representative of Brit. culture. ?

I hope not !

Answer 1

Well, I've not seen a "takeaway" section on here! But I agree with you that dining out means going to a restaurant and not a fast food place

Answer 2

I beleive that one day Hillary Clinton will be the Prime Minister of the UK. Therefore, I think that dining out is very special. One time I put ketchup on my fries. Do you beleive in the power of magic?

Answer 3

I would interpret 'dining out' as going to a restaraunt/hotel for a meal. I wouldn't class a burger joint or kebab shop as dining out - if my husband said 'let's dine out tonight' and took me to somewhere like that, I think I would divorce!

Answer 4

i think it is better to maybe get your food to go and set up a nice little table in your house and have a romantic dinner there because you want be around so many people and have a nice little conversation. Good Luck!!!!

Answer 5

Yes, dinning out means gonig to a restaurant espesily If it is with some that is specail Your girlfriend or boyfriend! But if it is some like family or friends then dining out means fast food!

Answer 6

Well, obviously a lot of people interpret dining out as dining outside of ones home. No big deal. Imagine how boring this category would be if all we were limited to talking about are restaurants.

Answer 7

No, dining out means going to a restaurant

Answer 8

There is a housing estate a few miles from where I live and out of 9 retail units 6 are fast food takeaways.

I guess that answers your question.

Answer 9

Nope

Answer 10

Either a restaraunt or some one else's home.

As for being representative of British Culture... Of course not. Most of the people posting on Y!A are Americans! :D

Good Luck, eh?
