じゃあ、


Ordering Food_f0212156_6462691.jpg It was a beautiful day today in NY!

ホリデーシーズン、たくさん食べてるかな?
 今日はフードをオーダーする時の表現!


There are many ways to get what you want!
Let's start with casual ways to order:


Take

Ordering Food_f0212156_7321516.jpg
"I will take a hamburger."

"I will take the macaroni and cheese."

034.gif Why did I use "the" instead of "a?"

Macaroni and cheese is not countable!



Take is a nice casual way to order something quickly!

You can use this in any ordering situation!

Note: Don't add "can/could" to take!!!


072.gifRemember: Sometimes waiters can be rude and
it's not your fault that they don't understand you!!!

*fault: 責任、落ち度


Have

"I will have the pork sandwich."

"I'll have the snake over rice."

Just making sure that
you are awake!!!

These expressions are casual
and in no way are they rude,
but if you want to sound more
polite just add can or could!



"Can I have the steak with mushrooms please?"
"Could I have the salmon?"





These expressions add politeness!

Generally, we like to use "could & would" to make
things a little more formal.

* rude: 失礼な
 polite(形): 丁寧な、礼儀正しい
 politeness(名): 礼儀正しさmake sure: 確かめる 
 (be) awake: 目覚めている
 generally: 一般的に,たいてい



Get

Another great word
that Americans use often!

"Can I get the puffer fish
on a bed of rice?"

"Could I get the grilled
cheese sandwich?"

"Can I get" is so useful
in so many situations!!!

012.gif"Can I get a new waiter?
This one is
making me nervous!!!"

"Can I get my hotel room
upgraded to the presidential
suite for tonight?"

"Can I get my bill online?"


*puffer fish: ふぐ
 bill: 請求書



On the side


We use this expression
if we want to control the
amount of sauce!!!

We also use it if we like
to keep a side dish
separate from our entree!


"Can I get the dressing
on the side?"



"Can I get the steak with
wild rice, but let me have
the rice on the side."

"Let me have" is also
a common version of
ordering!

*entree: メインディッシュ
もともとのフランス語では前菜にあたるが、
北米では通常メインディッシュのことを指す


Ordering Food_f0212156_7354922.jpgWithout

This is useful!!!

I like the Monte Cristo Sandwich,
but I like it "without the ham."
I don't eat pork!!!
Ordering Food_f0212156_7352720.jpg
"I'll take the takoyaki without the tako!"

072.gifYes, I have ordered takoyaki like this!

I know it's funny, but I really like cheese
in the middle!!!

In case you wondered,
yes I am absolutely American!!!
