I don't eat takeaways very often but I have my favourite pie and chips to start with. The pies are really nice at the fish & chip shop down the road. I then have a portion of banana fritters from the local Chinese restaurant which are lovely. This is my weekly food treat.

What is your favourite takeaway meal?

I don't get takeaway often being vegetarian as you never know what they put in stuff, so with that in mind I rarely stray further than chips and mushy peas. I might get a veggie chinese curry every now and then or a veggie dominoes pizza.

Chinese. Anything salt and pepper and the more the better. Rarely have it these days, used to be a weekly thing, sometimes more but will now be monthly-6 weekly.

I presume you've checked with the chippy what they cook their chips in? And also that no fish or meat products are fried in the same oil?

You can't beat a takeaway pizza, until you consider the price, and then you realise you've been taken for a right proper Charlie!

We had dominos three times last week 😏 pizza has always been my favourite food. In my defence its £8.99 any pizza any size collection and it does me 2 days. So technically I only went to dominoes twice. The second visit I had the snax box chicken thing. They were half price and I am a lazy chuff

I only have a take away, or should I say delivery, about once a month.

I go between three things, but can't say which is favourite, it just depends what I fancy at the time.

1st. is Indian - onion bhajis, chicken tikka (the dry pieces not a curry), bombay potatoes and a plain naan.
2nd. is a shish kebab with just onions, pitta bread and chips, plus onion rings sometimes.
3rd. is Tex-Mex - Potato skins with cheese and bacon, Gringo steak with cheese, onion, corn on the cob and chips.

I never have salad or mushrooms with anything as I don't like them.

Dominoes - stuffed crust chicken pizza with a BBQ sauce base.

I don't ever really have takeaways, especially since developing anorexia. But we had a takeaway night for Cooking Group when I was inpatient last year, and most of us got Dominoes. And it was so good.

Salt and pepper spare ribs, followed by duck in black bean sauce (to which I add a heap of chillies) with noodles.

Chicken Tikka on skewers done on a charcoal grill, wrapped in a naan bread with salad & sauce on the side from our local place.
Then again a local Chippy does a wonderful Special haddock (2 fillets in breadcrumbs) & Chips for under £6.
It's a toss-up tbh. 👍

We don't have it that often as I enjoy cooking, every couple of months maximum.

When we do it's usually Indian from the local restaurant or Dominos (if we've got a voucher). Very occasionally Chinese, again from the local restaurant, I tend to find restaurants do nicer take-away than a stand-alone takeaway.

I can't say what I have as I like to try something different every time from the Indian (although I've probably had most of the menu by now). Dominos is always a thin crust and I go half and half and make my own up putting on whatever I fancy at the time.

I always find fish and chips a bit of a let down. It's amazing from a good chippy at the seaside but then when you have it from your local chippy it's never as good and always leaves you feeling a bit disappointed.

I quite like Chipotle for takeaway burritos etc but more locally to me we have a really good Chinese that delivers, or I do quite enjoy a Dominos pizza every so often.

I have, but I'm not as precious about animal by-products sneaking their way in there as some. The primary concern for me is that actual purchase of meat. Beyond that, I cut out what I can within reason eg. I wouldn't have roast potatoes cooked in goose fat but by the same token I won't insist a Subway guy changed his gloves.

I'm fairly certain I consume by-products via cheese, or roast potatoes cooked in goose fat in a restaurant or chips from a different chippy but I do what I can which is always better than doing nothing and the more I educate myself those things are slowly being phased out of my diet.

Just want to add the caveat that the first one I meant at home, whereas the second one I'm referring to eating out and it not being a deal breaker if a meal arrives with roasties.

So you're not really a vegetarian?

Yes, I am.

noun
noun: vegetarian; plural noun: vegetarians

1.
a person who does not eat meat or fish, and SOMETIMES other animal products, especially for moral, religious, or health reasons.


Must you be 'that guy' though? Y'know, the guy so insecure that whenever someone lives their life by a moral code other than their own they feel obliged to bend over backwards to find holes or hypocrisy for... reasons, I guess.

Local Chinese does fantastic food - amazing starters and duck dishes so they're a regular.

Not a massive fan of Indian food but I do like a good Korma.
Become tempted by Thai food recently too. A nice creamy Thai Green Curry can be nice.
