Apps like Rappi are increasingly not just about take out/fast food. You can find full restaruants, but also supermarkets, meat shops, vegetable shops, bakeries, etc. Essentially the shops you would find on a busy commercial street in Buenos Aires. It means I can avoid going to many of these places and rubbing shoulders with the rabble.

As for cooking, I hate it and am so-so. Completely overrated past-time... although I would say that considering I hate it.

It really has become the thing to do here, but for different reasons to what they may be in the UK. Safety being the primary reason.

I get your point, but none of the fast foods apart from Maccies, Burger King and KFC have been closed due to the pandemic. I haven't even been to Maccies for years, just can't stand their burgers anymore, it really does taste like rubber or paper

I don't order online for takeaways, I prefer to order in person at the place itself. Grant that there are places that are remote that need them, but I don't
