As a person of ultimate laziness, I must say that home delivery is one of the best sytems ever to emerge on any civilisation. To be able to sit at home after a hard day's work and have food delivered to you at your doorstep is just something I think we all deserve every once in a while.
There are times of the year ( WINTER) that you may not want to bother taking 15 minutes to put on appropriate clothing just to go out of the house and get food, it's times like these where home delivery is a must. Unfortunately, Sweden doesn't offer this kind of luxury, you want food, you find food. Oftentimes starvation forces you to forage/hunt for food like those furry things in the discovery channel.
It's painstakingly bothersome to disrupt your nice evening by tackling the cold for survival, it's like the Soviet union all over again, except without the famine.
The closest you can get is called "avhämtning" aka "you order in advance by phone and we'll wait for you to pick it up". In humanistic countries, if the food isn't delivered at your doorstep within 30 minutes, you get it free! Here, if you don't pick it up before 30 minutes, not only will your food be cold, but you'll have to spend another 30 minutes going home which will make it colder... By the time you get home, you'll end up with just another regular T.V. dinner... So much for ordering at a resto.
..Did I mention that some places charge extra for avhämtning?.. yeah so, let's see the odds
Bad sides to it
1. waste money on phonecall
2. extra charge for the service
3. waste of time and money/gas to pick food up
4. food gets cold before you can even lick it.
5. Let alone food is overpriced as it is.
Good side (notice how I intentionally left out an "s" on the word side)
1. You get excercise
I'd rather go on a Lord of the Rings marathon to cover the hunger and lull myself to sleep until the next day.
And if I ever die doing that, blame the pizzerias. =(
