Don’t Make the Mistake of Ordering These 3 Foods for Delivery

Ordering food for delivery at home has become all-the-more popular during 2020 because of the ongoing global health crisis. While it’s a great option for businesses that can’t welcome the number of guests they normally could, as well as for consumers who want to stay at home and protect their health, there are some things that you should keep in mind while doing it.

One of those things is the fact some foods simply aren’t great candidates for delivery. Here are three that you should avoid ordering to be delivered.

Nachos

Nachos are one of my favorite treats at Mexican restaurants, as the delicious combination of tortilla chips covered with salsa, beans, cheese, veggies, and sometimes meat is irresistible. However, by the time this dish is delivered to your home, the chips will be soggy thanks to all of those toppings, and it just won’t taste the same.

Ice Cream

It might be tempting to order an ice cream dessert from a restaurant or to simply place an order from your local gelato shop, but unfortunately this food simply doesn’t hold up well for delivery. Meltiness and losses of flavor and texture tend to be the norm when ice cream is delivered.

French Fries

Ordering french fries is a delivery classic, but more often than not you’ll end up disappointed after your fries arrive soggy and cold. Reheated french fries just aren’t the same, and unless the delivery is super quick, they won’t be hot upon arrival. It’s better not to risk it with this side dish.
