an order of fries
When you go to the restaurant, you can say:
a hamburger and a order of fries please.
I can easily guess based on life experience that "an order of fries" means a bag of fries. But is the phrase "an order of FOOD" productive in English.
How about this:
a. A hamburger and fries please.
b. OR An order of hamburger and fries.
a hamburger and a order of fries please.
