Pubs might be shut to drinking in customers but their kitchens can still be open to cook takeaway food.
We’ve never done it but I believe there are quite a number of places locally doing takeaway food..Sunday roasts, etc.
Emmie 15.50. They need to be built like an ox to be able to keep turning people over onto their chest in ICU so they don't die. Their snacking in between working don't help either, they don't have time to sit down for an hour for lunch.
There is one thing I like about Mac burgers - the gherkin!
We don't have burgers at home or anywhere else, bit in must admit a tasteless thin floppy burger in a tasteless cardboard bun doesn't appeal. Each to his own.
We have had takeaways since lockdown. A local Inn delivers amazing roasts on Sundays. My cooking days are all but over. I now just instruct my live in sous chef who's skills improve day by day!
I've just had a G&T (Bombay and Fever Tree) followed by lamb shank, cauliflower, bobby beans and roast spuds. Just draining the last of a bottle of Malbec. Not quite the same as an evening in a cosy restaurant, with lively wit and repartee between us, the Maître d' and the proprietor, but the next best thing. So what would I prefer, that or a squashed burger biked round to me in a cardboard box, near enough cold before it got here? You guess.
Wild horses wouldn't compel me to queue in a car for gawd knows how long to get a crappy burger or some chicken coated in crap, but some people like it, so why exactly are they idiots, from a Covid POV (which prompted the question), for safely queuing up for their fast food of choice?
Please please don't tell me they're idiots because they could have had an accident en route thus taking up time from our heroes, because that's an argument that is really starting to get on my tits.

Me too, dd. It's a ridiculous argument. People pitching up at A&E as a result of road traffic accidents when they have been travelling in a car make up a very, very small proportion of the total. The worst place for having an accident that requires hospital treatment is in the home. Then there are large numbers who are injured running, walking, working and who are involved in all sorts of activities that are permitted under the current regulations. In fact, one of the safest places to be (compared to the others mentioned) if you want to steer clear of A&E is in a car. As I said, a ridiculous argument.
