Takeaway food

[Looby]

Sometimes I get a McDonald’s breakfast just for the hash browns but the bacon is never cooked enough so I bring it home and cook it in the air fryer til it’s crispy.
Mr Looby thinks it’s fucking stupid to pay for a takeaway and then cook it but I love those hash browns.

I once got ice cream deliverooed to the park so I’m not gonna tell anyone it’s lazy or extravagant

I can't remember the last time I had a take-away. I think it was probably from the local chippy on a whim as I walked by and the aroma drew me into the shop.

Very occasionally I might get a delivery from the local Balti place but the quality has gone down hill over the years. I think I might have had one this year.

Rarer still would be picking something up from the local(ish) kebab shop (Chicken wrap with all the salad) if it's late in the evening and I happen to be driving past. Don't think I've had one this year.

I love those hash browns.

Try Iceland hash browns. I think they have a slightly peppery taste which I like.

I get food delivered if I'm with friends and that's the plan, or if I'm ill/just returned from a trip/some other complicated circumstances. It's expensive and not very good, and all the packaging makes me feel guilty, and I feel duty bound to tip the driver well, which increases the cost further. When I was younger and could scarcely afford takeaways, they seemed like the exciting option, but now they always feel meh. I don't understand how people can enjoy Domino's pizza, it's inedible.

Sugar is my crack, so I do get cake as a takeaway 1-2 times per week, but it's 2min from home and I bring my own box. Today I had some lovely lemon polenta cake with pistachios. I need to wean myself off this stuff but it's hard.

The only takeaway I get is an occasional Indian. I sometimes get a mutton biriani on way home from Midday Mass on Sundays. An Indian restaurant near me reopened a few weeks ago under new management. They were doing a 'Weekend Special' and I thought I should support them as they are more local. They started by offering a 'weekend special' curry and paratha. Then they reduced it to just a curry. That was ok as I can make some rice myself.
But last time I went in the owner made a remark about how they always look forward to my check. I took it as a sarcastic comment that I didn't buy sides. I haven't been back since.
I see the sign outside at weekends now says 'Student Weekend Specials'.

Every couple of weeks, normally fish and chips because we’re in Scarborough. about twice a month at the moment. Otherwise to the local burger joint for a grilled chicken wrap (a kebab in every way except the name) and a grilled halloumi and veg wrap for me. I'm not into munchy boxes and they're the thing up here - it's a mixed pizza box of beige food. We tried the most popular one at the Chinese, El Jugs liked it, I thought it was disgusting. It was so dry and salty.

That looks fucking bogging.


Every couple of weeks here, a curry delivered, or get some shit from the nearest big town 5 miles away if we don't mind like luke-warm...

This one is worse IMO - some of them look like someone spewed in a pizza box - I mean, look at all that tastless UNMELTED processed cheese on the chips.

I couldn't touch that.

The lads at work eat stuff like that. It looks gross and smells even worse

Very occasionally. I have IBS and they always make me feel bloated. There is an amazing Indian near me, though - it does a veggie meal for a tenner. You get your main, naan/rice, poppadoms, onion bhajis and dips and there's enough to last me two days. My brother and I have both cut down on takeaways, not that we had loads anyway but he'd rather make his own meals, and I agree with him. He's an amazing cook anyway.

That munchie box looks gruesome. I'd eat the onion rings and that's it.

We’re 1 a month takeout types. And that’s nearly always a fish supper from a decent chippy. We’d do more, but the quality of the other local options isn’t up to much.
