Fast food-Nov 20

Fast food refers to ready-to-eat meals that are quickly prepared and served in restaurants.

It's called "fast" because the food is designed to be prepared and served promptly, often within minutes of ordering, such as hamburgers, fries, pizza, fried chicken, and sandwiches.

Fast food restaurants usually offer standardized menus and efficient service, allowing people to grab a quick meal on the go.
