Are the price of Indian and Chinese takeways getting to dear.
I normally have an Indian takeaway of Chicken Vindaloo .Chicken Tikka Starter and Pillau Rice. 4 years ago this was £6.20 now it is £10.50 . My Chinese is hot singapore chow mein and Special curry. Was £6.00 now £9.00. It's hardly any difference to eating out now.
They're rising in line with inflation over the years - and if people will pay, they'll charge it. We'd rather have quality than price - this town is awash with takeaways so at least we have a good choice.
The price of rice went up dramatically and portions shrank after failed harvests but like sugar, coffee, orange juice and others it never came back down cos we're soft enough to keep paying their inflated prices.
Eccles , very interested to know what main courses cost £11 and likewise rice/ noodles £6.00, and side dishes cost £6.00.
You must be mad if you pay those prices , I can buy 6 whole chickens for less than that.
I'm not at all mad, I simply appreciate what I am eating, how it is sourced and how it is raised/grown.
Personally I very rarely eat prawns but will forgive Mr Cake for his preference.
Cheap meat is not my preferred route for protein as I am very particular about animal welfare and am unlikely to ever eat a chicken that costs under £2.
If you are happy with that then good for you enjoy your Sunday roast.

What a odd reply fromEcclely nobody knows where the food in Chinese and Indian takeaways com from, or the supermarket variety as well. I was in the poultry and meat business many years ago and tried to break into the takeaway chicken fillet market. I did not get anywhere as my fresh chicken fillets were 50 pence a pound dearer than what the takeaways were paying. They were all being supplied with frozen french chicken fillets.
Where did the chickens under £2.00 come from. Nobody mentioned them. I do not think they exist
