should I get a takeaway tonight?

[Stigmata]

You should have gone Chinese. Sweet and sour prawns are the food of the gods.

 

[pootle]

As an aside cutting out takeaways has really helped me lose weight recently.

Am off for a delicious chinese now though

 

[Badgers]

I would go for a kebab

I had an extremely disappointing chinese takeaway the other night. I find it almost impossibile to get decent chinese food anywhere.

There are basically no good Chinese takeaways, just places that do pale imitations of Chinese food that will appeal to white people. Try and make friends with the owners, then ask if they can cook you what they'd cook to eat themselves, and you might get something half decent.

 

[Badgers]

Have one great kebab place and a decent Indian place
The usual acceptable chain pizza places

Chinese takeaway/delivery is not something I ever crave/want to be honest.

Only decent one I’ve found locally is Number 2 in Herne Hill if they deliver to you.

The name is unfortunate tbf

haven't had a chinese takeaway for a while but have been several times this year to wong kei's where the staff are disconcertingly polite and the food excellent

 

[skyscraper101]

My order of preference is generally Indian, then Chinese, then Fish & Chips.

Given the choice, they all rank above Pizza IMO.

Chippy delivered or takeaway/collection?

Chippy delivered or takeaway/collection?

Chippy delivered is a recipe for awful chips. Even bringing them home can be borderline unless your close.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Would love a decent Chinese, but the only ok one near here is quite pricey, especially if you want all the food like I do.

Chippy delivered or takeaway/collection?

Collection, wrapped in paper. Always.

 

[Badgers]

Indeed.

Why anyone would order McDs via Uber Eats is beyond me. The only thing with chippy chips (versus fast food) is that they can be chucked in the oven with little detrimental result.

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

Good bump.

Can't get good Chinese takeaway here really, so I make my own now.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

The mind boggles. Besides if you can get McDonald's delivered you can surely get something better.

I got an excellent Chinese takeaway for the wife this lunchtime, loads round here.
ETA She had a sudden craving for shredded pork in sweet bean sauce:

You wrap the various bits up in the tofu skin. Some versions use very thin flatbread. Twenty dumplings too.

After having Chinese food in China I don't think I could go into our local Chinese takeaway ever again.

After eating at a lot of Pakistani friends houses I struggle with 'Indian' food in the UK

but I choke it down

Should really start a chain doing northern Chinese food, lots more stodge and would go down really well in the UK I reckon.

 

[danny la rouge]

I’d go for Indian. I’m not having one tonight, but if I was I’d have bhuna and chapatis. And maybe some paneer pakora.

That's a good tip - thanks!

I assume you two don't live in London.

Mrs Miggins lives down the way from the largest kipper smokehouse in Europe, down near dungeness

 

[neonwilderness]

I'm not in that London either and all the Chinese takeaways round here are a bit rubbish too

My order of preference is usually Indian, Fish & Chips, Lebanese (if I'm feeling flush), then pizza/kebab.

 

[Numbers]

We have a pretty decent choice thinking about it.

Chinese we get from Noodle St and Indian from The Tale of India, both delivered and both pretty good, and funnily enough both near each other in Westferry, we've never been to either tho'. We have 2 Turkish close by and both are decent. A Lebanese place I love but the missus isn't too keen on, a great fish and chip shop and a decent independent pizza joint, a few very decent traditional small kebab shops - and all the usual places like McD / KFC etc.

Top of our road is our local curry house which we've been going to for 25 years, but not so much the last cpl of years due to an incident but might give it a go again, have met several big name stars of TV in there.

I quite fancy a takeaway/delivery now.

I've just voted Indian then noticed that this poll is from 2006.

I hope my vote helped.
