Puis-je Prends?

Hello, when asking for food, is it more correct to say 'puis- je prends" rather than puis-je avoir? Thanks

Bonjour,

Both prendre and avoir are acceptable, but note they need to be in the infinitive:

Puis-je prendre, Puis-je avoir.

With respect to Puis-je prendre and food/etc, would it be better to say Puis-j'en prendre? Or is 'some' implied in this expression?
