How often do you have a takeaway?

[Kanda]

A Thali is basically lots of small dishes to make up one dish. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thali

Usually about 7 quid each from The Chutney or somewhere similar.

Last one I had was: Lamb Korma, Chicken Tikka Masala, Rice, Aloo Gobi, Naan, Raita and a Tandoori Chicken Leg and Kebab.

That sounds really good, loads of small dishes - especailly for someone who can't make decisions

 

[kittyP]

e2a ^^im joking. so here's a smilie

I know, it did sound kind wanky didn't it (true though).

If we had a good fish and chip place near here then it would be take away tea more often than it is.

Oh and yes B you are right. The crispy duck is heavenly but its not worth ordering it just for that as I would still be hungry after.

 

[May Kasahara]

at the moment never, as despite living right by the curry mile no fucker delivers anywhere near us

It is nice.

Badgers usually gets it if we have a curry. Not really me though, well from where we have got it from in the past anyway.

 

[Kanda]

The Chutney (Herne Hill) will deliver to you won't it Kitty??

 

[ChrisFilter]

used to be 2 or 3 a week. Now maybe one every two or three weeks.

Erm, I dunno.

We are SW9?

^ same here except now it's more like every 2/3 months.

 

[Kanda]

Should do. I know roughly where you are.

did you used to be a millionnaire?

It doesn't cost that much to order in!!

I should do a weekly shop but don't so when it's my turn to cook (3 of us here) it usually costs me the same or more than a take out.

 

[sojourner]

Hardly used to bother, cos was never happy with the standard of food, but having recently discovered a fucking brilliant Indian takeaway place (£5 for a curry, and it's actually enough for two meals, even for a greedy fucker like me, and they deliver) it's about 2 or 3 times a month now

 

[geminisnake]

Depends on your income though. Imo chinese is overpriced and I agree with Kitty's opinion.

We're more likely to go to the chippie but I really want to go to the Indian in the town again. It's ace and reasonably priced too.

I'm not sure anyone delivers where we are and I usually can't be bothered driving in to get summat.

The idea of takeaway pizza is very bizarre to me. Only ever done that in London, before secretsquirrel left for the west country!!

 

[Kanda]

Yeah, of course it depends on your income. Fish and Chips is still what? £6 each? so £18 for 3 of us. If I go and buy 3 steaks from the supermarket and everything to go with it, same price.

I could go veggie and eat really cheaply but no fucking chance

 

[strung out]

£6 each for fish and chips?

 

[Kanda]

£6 each for fish and chips?

In London, yes.

 

[mango5]

It used to be once a month or less, but now I'm working in a knackering job it's more like three times a month due to (a) knackeredness (b) less time to plan meals and shop for food - no convenient shops on my commute and (c) more cash.

 

[mango5]

£6 each for fish and chips?

Easily, for decent stuff in London.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Yeah fish and chips isn't cheap - if you want cheap go for a pie or sausage or something.

I don't see takeaways as being that expensive tbh. I've never earned a lot and have always managed to eat too many anyway.

 

[pogofish]

Yup, IME the price of takeaways varies greatly round the country. Here, the price of takeaway pizza tends to beggar belief compared to other places.

Chippers are ok value whilst Indian & Chinese are usually much better value IME & both, but particularly chinese have undergone a significant evolution for the better in the last few years, with the emphasis on freshness & quality ingredients/cooking.

 

[pogofish]

This is what £5 gets you in a good chipper here:

Which is pretty reasonable value.

Visitor arrived, couldn't be bothered cooking, so we went to the chipper last night - fine excuse!

That looks a tasty piece of fish. There doesn't appear to be many chips though.

 

[pogofish]

That container is a foot long by six inches wide - There was more than enough chips!

 

[geminisnake]

Yeah, of course it depends on your income. Fish and Chips is still what? £6 each? so £18 for 3 of us. If I go and buy 3 steaks from the supermarket and everything to go with it, same price.

If it cost me £18 to fed the 3 of us every night we'd starve
You shop in the wrong places or eat expensively imo.
I wouldn't thank you for supermarket meat either

 

[Kanda]

I shop in a Sainsburys local on Brixton Hill.

 

[snackhead]

Used to be 2 or 3 times midweek and always on Friday nights. Cut down after I had a few dud meals and started cooking. I still have the occasional one usually if I'm working late

 

[Nixon]

We cook most days.Or I get fed at most squats I frequent.Rarely have the money to fork out for one huge unhealthy meal (i always do pizza leftovers though).

 

[Cloo]

Oh noez! You are curry-challenged.

 

[madzone]

No-one at all delivers to us, we have to go an get it ourselves
