Chinese food is no stranger in this age of globalization. It is enjoyed everywhere. Chinese food takeaways are very popular. They have been referenced in popular culture as well. One notable example is the U.S TV series The Big Bang Theory where the main characters are often seen enjoying a Chinese food takeaway.
Chinese food takeaways are no doubt popular however every country outside China has its own spin to it. What would categorise as a Chinese food takeaway is different in different parts of the world. So, what happens when Americans who love Chinese food takeaway as much as people in other parts of the world discover how the British have a Chinese food takeaway? They go in a state of shock.
What is this British Chinese food takeaway trend and why are Americans shocked?
There is a recent trend making waves on TikTok about how the British people have a Chinese food takeaway as reported by the Evening Standard. It is understandable that this is a pretty normalised practice in the U.K. Some of it may not even be authentic Chinese food but it could be classified as a combination of a mix of Chinese cuisine adapted to British tastes.
Americans and British people don’t often see eye to eye when it comes to a lot of things. The Americans call it an elevator, the British call it a lift, the Americans call it a subway, the British call it a tube. Now it seems that Americans don’t agree with how the British have their Chinese food takeaway.
In a tweet Drag Queen Kimchi said that she was shocked at how the British pour curry sauce and sweet and sour sauce all over their chips, chicken balls and rice.
Is everyone else’s TikTok timeline invaded by British Chinese food TikTok’s too??? Somehow every other video I get is a Brit ‘getting a Chinese’ and pouring curry sauce and sweet sour all over their chips, chicken balls and rice??? What is happening???
There were also comments about how British refer to Chinese food takeaway as simply Chinese which could be assumed as racist. This was highlighted by American influencer Soogia.
The British clearly did not hold back and explained the reasoning behind all of the things related to British Chinese food takeaway that has sent Americans in a state of shock.
British TikTok Influencer Cory’s Worldresponded to the Americans in a video trying to eliminate their confusion regarding British Chinese food takeaway by saying “Curry sauce is the best thing ever, so it’s the texture of gravy but it tastes like curry. They even do it in McDonald’s over here. The owner of my local Chinese shop is from China but the food they eat is completely different from the food they serve us. Chicken balls are available in any Chinese shop you go in. It’s basically a boneless chicken but its deep fried. All the Chinese shops I’ve gone to sell ribs and chips as well. They also do containers. It is called a half and half which is half rice and half chips with curry sauce poured over the top.”
British TikTok creator Olivia Smith who is white and her Chinese boyfriend Derek Guo, both of whom are based in the U.K also addressed the responses. Derek explained the reasoning behind British people calling Chinese food takeaway or a Chinese meal as simply Chinese was laziness, he joked. It had nothing to do with racism. He further clarified that they just shorten it and its the same with Italian, Mexican or Greek. Cory’s World also clarified this.
The couple also explained that since the U.K is a multicultural country, there is the presence of authentic Chinese food in the country and the Chinese food takeaway they are seeing on TikTok does exist but does not necessarily present how the whole of the UK has a Chinese food takeaway. In a multicultural country such as the U.K, it is important to adapt to different tastes and Chinese food takeaway or any other food for that matter is no stranger to this rule.
What do you think of this entire situation? Let us know in the comments. While you’re at it, it is a good time to mention that if you live in the U.K, we at All Eat have some amazing Chinese food takeaways so order now at our website or application available on both IOS and Android.

Many of us have heard about a gluten-free diet, but how many of us actually know what exactly is it? Let’s find out about gluten and gluten-free diet in this blog.
What is gluten?
Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. It’s what gives bread and other baked goods their chewy texture. It’s actually a mixture of two proteins: gliadin and glutenin.
It’s important to note that gluten is not harmful to everyone. For the vast majority of people, consuming gluten-containing foods is safe and does not cause any adverse health effects. However, for people with coeliac disease or gluten sensitivity, following a gluten-free diet is essential for managing their condition and avoiding symptoms.
What is a gluten-free diet?
A gluten-free diet is a diet that excludes all gluten-containing foods. This includes bread, pasta, cereal, and many other processed foods. Gluten-free diets are essential for people with coeliac disease, gluten intolerance, and gluten sensitivity. Even small amounts of gluten can trigger a range of symptoms, including bloating, gas, diarrhoea, and abdominal pain.
However, some people also follow a gluten-free diet for non-medical reasons such as to get help with weight loss, increase energy levels, or improve digestion. It’s important to note that a gluten-free diet can also be restrictive and lead to nutrient deficiencies if not properly balanced. If you are considering such a diet, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian to ensure that your diet is nutritionally adequate.
How to follow a gluten-free diet?
If you need to follow a gluten-free diet, here are some tips to help you get started:
Eat gluten-free food: Foods that are naturally gluten-free include fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, and dairy products. However, some processed foods may contain hidden sources of gluten, so it’s important to read food labels carefully.
Use gluten-free substitutes: There are many gluten-free alternatives to bread, pasta, and other gluten-containing foods. For example, you can use corn, rice or almond flour instead of wheat flour when baking.
Watch out for cross-contamination: Even a small amount of gluten can cause problems for people with coeliac disease or gluten sensitivity. Be careful when preparing food at home and avoid using the same utensils or cutting boards for gluten-free and gluten-containing foods.
Consult a dietitian: If you’re not sure how to follow a gluten-free diet or need help with meal planning, consider consulting a dietitian. They can provide personalised advice and help you make sure you’re getting all the nutrients you need.
What foods can I eat as part of my gluten-free diet?
Fruits and vegetables – All fresh fruits and vegetables are naturally gluten-free, so these should be a staple in your diet.
Meat, poultry, and fish – All fresh meats, poultry, and fish are naturally gluten-free. However, processed meat products like sausages or deli meats may contain gluten, so it’s important to check the ingredients list.
Gluten-free grains- There are several gluten-free grains that you can enjoy, including quinoa, rice, corn, amaranth, millet, and buckwheat.
Legumes – Beans, lentils, and peas are all gluten-free and provide a good source of protein and fiber.
Nuts and seeds – All nuts and seeds are naturally gluten-free and provide healthy fats and protein.
Dairy products – Milk, cheese, and yogurt are all gluten-free. However, some processed dairy products like flavored yogurts may contain gluten, so be sure to check the ingredients list.
Gluten-free flours and baked goods – There are several gluten-free flours available, including almond flour, coconut flour, and chickpea flour, which can be used to make gluten-free baked goods.
Do restaurants and takeaways serve gluten-free food?
A gluten-free diet is no longer a luxury. In recent years, more and more restaurants have been accommodating customers with dietary restrictions, including those who are gluten intolerant. Now you can get gluten-free pasta, pizza, cakes, noodles, curries. Basically, almost every dish which you love to eat can be prepared without gluten.
Restaurants and takeaways nowadays prepare food catered to one’s food allergies or dietary restrictions. In fact, many restaurants have gluten-free menus, and some even have a dedicated gluten-free kitchen or cooking area to prevent cross-contamination.
However, it’s always better to check your options before ordering. You can even ask questions about how the food is prepared to ensure that it is truly gluten-free.

Food delivery has come a long way since the days of ordering pizza over the phone. With the rise of technology and on-demand services, food delivery has become more accessible and convenient than ever before. One of the leading players in the food delivery industry is All Eat, an online platform that connects customers with local restaurants for delivery or pickup.
In this blog post, we will take a look at the evolution of food delivery and All Eat’s impact on the industry.
The Early Days of Food Delivery
Food deliveryhas been around for decades, with pizza being one of the first foods to be delivered to people’s homes. Pizza delivery quickly became a staple of American culture, with the first pizza delivery service starting in 1889 in Naples, Italy.
As technology advanced, food delivery services started to expand beyond just pizza. In the 1990s, the rise of the internet gave birth to online ordering, making it easier for customers to order food from their favorite restaurants without having to pick up the phone.
The Rise of On-Demand Delivery
With the advent of on-demand services like Uber and Lyft, food delivery services started to shift towards a similar model.

Eid-al-fitr is a celebration signifying the ending of Ramadan (Also read “What is Eid-al-Fitr? Get to know about The Muslim celebration after Ramadan”). The word in itself means from Arabic to English “festival of breaking the fast”. During this celebration you will hear Muslim saying “Eid Mubarak!” which means “Blessed Eid”. This has always been my favourite festival as a Muslim child. I can recall the smell of fried banana plantains, mint green tea from an Arabic saucer, dates and roasted meat. The best tradition is to share food with neighbours whether Muslim or not. My mum would also give food to the less fortunate during that time. It is a way of showing “Allah’s” (“God” in Arabic) mercy towards people whether poor or fortunate. It is a time of sharing, of joy and filled happy bellies.
Different countries and cultures have their own special dishes during Eid-al-fitr. Exploring such a wealth of traditions is our aim at All Eat, we care about our customers festivals and traditions.
North Africa and West Africa
Eid is full of long lasting food traditions starting in my country of origins, Senegal and Mali and also North Africa. For example in Morocco they are eating traditional Moroccan pancakes, while in Egypt they eat nut filled cookie called “Kahk. In Algeria and Tunisia they eat white moon shaped cookies and honey glazed filled pastries. In Senegal, Mali, Mauritania, Nigeria they pray and sacrifice a lamb, ram or mutton, then roast it which can be a luxury as being quite costly. They accompany the roasted meat with vermicelli, rice and traditional curries called “Yassa” (in Senegal) or Egusi (in Nigeria).
Senegalese Yassa
United Arab Emirates and other middle eastern country
n the United Arab Emirates, they celebrate with a selection of meat based tagines, similar to the Moroccan ones. They also have chicken soup called “Harees” and diverse sweets called “Khabeesa”.
In Syria, sweets like “Maamoul” are at the table, those are little pastries stuffed pistachios, date or walnut, powdered with icing sugar. Iranians eat a variety of kebabs which you can order here with any of our partners and also a beef stew called “Haleem” accompanied with rice, beans and chilli.
Finally, in Turkey, similarly to the UAE they eat “Harees” a meat porridge or soup and “Machboos” a spiced chicken or fish dish with long grain rice.
“Khabeesa” from UAE
South Asia
South Asia is said to have the largest community of Muslim in the world as opposed to opinions, 1/3 people are Muslim in Southern Asia.
In Pakistan, traditional food would be “Biryani”, a curried rice either made of chicken or red meat. During Eid you could try a biryani with us here. Also “Haleem” is a meat dish with wheat, barley and lentils. Finally, the traditional Nihari which is a slow cooked beef stew. In Afghanistan, a lot of sweets are shared which make little Afghan children the most joyful! Such as cardamom infused pastries called ‘cream rolls’ and “Gosheh Fil” meaning “elephant ears” which are crumbly pastries dusted with pistachios and icing sugar.
Pakistani Byriani
All these beautiful flavours and aromas are long preparations which are nothing compare with the joy of sitting at the table with family and enjoying every single piece of laughter and conversations. If you want to know more about food during Eid and Ramadan around the world watch “The story of Ramadan” on Netflix.
Eid-al-fitr is set to be this Friday 21st of April 2023.
With King Charles and our future Queen Camilla coronation being upon us we were curious to find out about the main dish of this very special day for Britain. The winner is: The French “Quiche. An unusual choice for our King and Queen but surely a sentimental one as being our late Queen Elizabeth II favourite for any sort of grand celebration.
Quiches are native of our country neighbours, France. It originated from the French word “Quiche Lorraine”. Lorraine used to be a small town in France. The word “Quiche” maybe related to the German word “Kuchen” meaning “cake or tart”. Indeed it is a tart shaped pastry with egg and onions at its base. A quiche could be made with leek, lard, mushroom, spinach, salmon, French camembert, and many other ingredients.
Camilla and Charles decided their coronation Quiche to be meat free, as the King has revealed his engagement to reduce his meat consumption. He sees meat as a negative factor to the environment. Although the Quiche will be accompanied with a serving of traditional coronation chicken.
Quiche is a well known dish to us brits as they can be found in every local supermarket Try you hand at making one to eat like a King and Queen during the coronation on the 6th of May. Why not accompanying this dish with one of our beautiful takeaway desserts, order here. Check out a traditional Quiche recipe here:
