Is "take" used with food?

Do people in some English speaking regions use "take" with food in this way: "I took eggs for breakfast"?

I can see it being used for a meal in old-fashioned American English, as in "I'll take breakfast on the porch," but it sounds strange to me in combination with particular dishes or food items.

Solution 1:

In the U.S, one often uses take in the context of selecting particular dishes or food items. From M-W:

take: to pick out; CHOOSE, SELECT

For example, when presented with a menu or set of options, one might say:

I'll take the chicken fajitas.

I'll take the breakfast: eggs, scrambled; ham; home fries; and toast, rye.

I'll take the ribeye, medium rare, with the standard house sides.

I'll take a dozen doughnuts: three glazed, three chocolate cake, three chocolate-covered, and three cinnamon.
