For the record, I ordered Chicken Chow Mein, Won Ton Soup, Teriyaki Chicken and Egg Fried Rice.

I don't think Chinese food is considered "fast food," so I'm guessing you're in the clear. Unless you vowed to eliminate all "take-out" food. That would be another matter.

As a fellow Lutheran I gotta ask, how is giving up fast food gonna get you right with the Lord. And if you have to ask if Chinese take out is fast food.....

If you are asking our permission on it, you must feel guilty.

Twenty-five minutes and no drive-thru? I think you're in the clear.

Would this be considered fast food? Have I kept my Lenten vow? I don't know if it is fast food or not but if you bought it in America, it is not really Chinese food. It is food that American's think is Chinese. Still a much better choice than a Big Mac or some other dead food.

Chinese Take-Out isn't fast food by any stretch.
Besides, it always takes them "ah--ten--min-ahts" for it to be ready when I call the order in.

Okay SP, I am gonna school you here (I am a Catholic so I
really have this Lent thing down...
When you brought the food home, did you eat out of the containers OR did you place it on dishes? My belief...stryrofoam=take out, but once the food hits a real plate...it has now morphed into 'cuisine.' There. Don't you feel better?

Hi. I'm socal_parrot, and I'm a Lutheran (Hi, socal). I gave up fast food for Lent (a good chance to get right with the Lord and drop a couple lbs.). This evening, I went to a local strip mall and bought some Chinese take-out food for myself and the little woman. The restarurant was not a drive through. I actually had to park and walk in. The whole process took me 25 minutes. Would this be considered fast food? Have I kept my Lenten vow?Chinese food isn't even food.

You didn't mention how much you paid.....did you steal the meal? That would be important information.

Chinese food may be prepared for you quickly but not on an assembly line where frozen food gets microwaved for you. Lack of a McDonald's style assembly line is the key.
You or your wife can make a decent hamburger at home, one better that Burger King's. Try making good Chinese food at home
