Takeaways

[jennyjoan]

No more above - and I mean it.

Was at the CU (credit union) on Monday and about 6 colleagues raved about salt & chilli chicken from the Chinese.

Treated myself to one last night and it was appalling.

There is "batter" on the chicken which literally had been "battered" to death with a taste of hotness. Horrendous meal.

Also got an Indian last Sat (takeaway) - maybe it would help if the Indians would smile. Takeaway was £9.20 - I lost my breath - that by the time I got it back - the order was already in. Putrid too.

I should have got myself £10 deal from M&S.

Today I bought Hamshank - large chicken - cut turnips (turmits) - have already cooked - you know what I'm not one bit hungry.

However, I am going to cover it in cling film and will have it tomorrow.

The moral of my story NO MORE TAKEAWAYS forever.

[ummmm]

Rarely eat takeaways. Not that I dislike them it just never occurs to me to buy one. Also, by the time you've bought enough food to feed 4 people it's very expensive.

I very rarely have takeaways but when I do I order enough for 5 people and end up living on curry for 2-3 days. I hate garlic and the taste it leaves in your mouth for the next 24 hours - you can imagine how I feel after a 3 day curry binge.

I'm babysitting tonight so the takeaways will be coming in, mmmmm chicken tikka main with pilau rice and a cheese naan bread.

snags: Aww come on, JJ is making a good point about takeaway restaurants though. Although not all are bad. It seems like she has had a bad run of luck with them.

£9.20 is about the normal going rate for a 'main'. I wouldn't shop at M&S as my personal preference is Tesco (only because it's closer, the food isn't bad and I know and get on with all the staff). Each to ones own I suppose :)

There's nothing wrong with a fish supper. They're the original and best takeaway.
I'd recommend Longs in Athol St for the best you'd find in Belfast.

sandyRoe: I went to this restaurant in the city of Edinburgh (I'll try and remember the name... might take me a while) and if it wasn't for my ex-wife being present I would of said to the waiter "At least Dick Turpin wore a mask". For the two of us, two courses and a bottle of wine cost £128. It was a posh place though, it had to be for that money. The next night I went to the chip shop about 20 metres away :) lovely stuff. It's a shame I was absolutely paralytic and the next day my ex-wife and I went in and the owner decided to tell her just how much of a drunken idiot I was (but funny). Well that was the end of that holiday!

The moral of your story

Be more discerning in your choice of takeaway outlet.

or watch the prog at 10 am on beeb 1

Ashton - just upstream from me.... ugh

[jennyjoan]

Longs used to be great - sometimes you get a good'un and sometimes you can get a fish too greasy.

Don't know what Snags said and it's probably better that I don't.

[ummmm]

Nothing too bad, Jenny.

How do you know it was snags?

[ummmm]

Because his name was mentioned by Dizmo.
