take-out etc. (was: kosher & halal)

[Peter A. McGraw]

BTW, what ever happened to "carry-out"?  I first ran across "take-out" on a
visit to Canada many years ago.  It struck me as a very distinctive
Canadianism.  I don't know when it happened, but somehow in the intervening
years, "take-out" seems to have completely replaced "carry-out" in the U.S.

(While America sleeps, that notorious Canadian linguistic imperialism
strikes again! :)
