What, if anything, do you prefer at the weekends?

I like those tasty, spicy Arabian things. At least three takeaways of them in my street, a fine option when you're in a hurry.

You can't beat good fish and chips. A rare commodity but, done properly, I'll have it anyday over any of that foreign muck :P

Pizza. Veggie.

:applaud: :applaud:

There's no kebab! :banghead:


If grilled, a perfect combination of protein, carbs and salad.

I'll happily eat everything on that list but I love Thai cuisine more then anything else.

I had a kebab recently! Felt a bit ashamed, but it was certainly delicious.

But I voted Indian -- the food of the gods. I would eat it 5 or 6 nights a week if I could afford it. But I need to find a new takeaway, 'cos my local one has really gone off the boil. Had a very disappointing chicken korai last night while watching Life On Mars.

any/all of them. Lovely.

I'd go for an Indian but as you cant get a decent curry here..... :(

Often get a curry delivered on Saturday nights (as soon as the kids are in bed)- my favourite meal is to get a bunch of side dishes/starters with nuts pilau rice and just spread them over the floor between us and tuck in. The humble chick pea is my favourite curry component. All respect to the Chana!
A sparkling Shiraz goes pretty well with this we find. B)

I voted for Chicken and Chips, but only from the one shop around here that can do them properly.

Unfortunately this shop is closed at the moment, but there's a chinese (Pearl City!) nearby that does excellent chips, so it's just chips at the moment

Don't take the pizza off me. :rolleyes:

Anything without chips or pasta with it/in it.
Both overrated and bland , pasta bungs me up. :o

Soz ducky

My polling skills are clearly crap, usually something obvious missed off.

(see punk bands with female singers ~ the "Other" category has almost got the most votes!!!)

But I do cover myself with "Other" , so peopl can vote.

:D


PS have lovely memories of eating kebabs on my first holiday with my mates and not my parents.

Fat dripping on our trainers as we walk home to the holiday flat after too many beers, yummy!!!

I don't like pizzas with anything like chicken tikka masala on it. Just an ordinary one please. The traditional Italian type...not the US style ones.
Chinese gets glutinous on the journey home. It starts to 'set' a bit.
Curries are always good and can be reheated in the morning for breakfast.

I went into KFC a while back cuz everywhere else was closed. I hadn't been for many years but I was hungry. Behind the counter there was a display, if I can call it that, of chicken bits, quite small ones. I asked the lady for chicken and chips. She said 'how many pieces?' I looked at the display and said eight. She said ''EIGHT!!!?????". Really shocked.
I said...ummm ok then...two?
She went "TWO!!!???????" Shocked again. Fuckn hell, I don't know how many poxy pieces of rubbish chicken I want. I'm now in a bad mood and losing my appetetite.
Just give me my chicken and chips and stop asking me questions.
I said "how many do people normally have?" She said "3 or 4".
So I said "ok, 4 then". Now let me out of here.
It turned out the chicken on display was part of some other deal or something. I don't know. it was foul anyway. Foul, geddit? Oh never mind.

Another time I went into the kebab shop round the corner for something to eat. Yes, crazy suggestion I know. What was I thinking? When I went in a load of blokes in the back gave me a funny look. I asked for a veggie kebab and then the problems started. The man looked around like he'd never seen the inside of his shop before. He didn't seem to be able to find the bread or any ingredients. He had to go downstairs for one thing and upstairs for another. It was about 9pm, not exactly off-peak. It took about 20 minutes to make this unappealing thing. Meanwhile nobody else came in and the blokes in the back continued to scrutinise me. Fuckn hell, I wasn't asking him to measure me for a bespoke suit, I only wanted a veggie kebab.
Anyway. Drugs. That was the main product, the food thing is a front I now find out.

Another time my friends got a great chicken kebab (from another place), it looked nice, the chicken was barbequed or something. So the next night I went to get one. I ordered the exact same thing they did but instead of nice dry chicken from the barbeque the chef bloke opened this pot and got this ladle thing and filled the bread up with sopping wet chicken. Yes, it was wet out of this hot pot thing. He kept putting it in the bread and everytime he paused I thought 'don't put anymore in mate' but he kept on. It was revolting looking. Then he put some lettuce in and I paid for it. When I got outside the kebab shop I saw a bin and I just chucked it straight in the bin. I didn't even unwrap it. Weird wet chicken, no thanks. Good way to diet I reckon.

Stick with indian or chinese, at least if you get cat, the spices mask the taste so you cant tell.


YES I AM BEING IRONIC

(AND VIVIAN SAYS "YES WE'VE GOT A VIDEO")

Did you vote though

;)

can't keep off the toilet long enough...

2 votes for Fish n Chips? No wonder the country has gone to the dogs. We didn't invent everything, win 2 world wars, and a bleedin World Cup on a Chicken Bhuna now did we? It's a bleedin outrage.

And another thing...no pies on that list. Bloody disgrace that is.

Yes

Quite surprising that.

PS Fish and Chips was meant to signify Fish and Chip shops, so include pies, sausages, etc

Great stories Bradx :lol:

r u humouring me? Oh the humiliation

my stories were merely meant to illustrate how complicated life is these days. Even going for a takeaway is fraught with peril

Excellent "service" in my local chippy...



Won't find that down the Indian now will you?

Or in my local chippy.


(Edit. Bugger. Went to the next page. Meaningless.)

nah its ok I got it. Annoying those page breaks tho - see threads passim.

I always wanted to use the word 'passim' brilliant.

indian

:o

No, I like your stories, as you know.

There´s a fantastic Thai takeaway a few kilometers from home. Just a small family restaurant, with the wife cooking, the husband taking orders and the daughters helping with assorted things. Customers must order a few days in advance, though, since she wants to cook it so it´s ready exactly when it´s about to be picked up.

Sadly, they have been closed since the beginning of the year due to illness. :( Seems serious.

Wha's it mean?

things past

Bradx's stories – whether about record shops or 'weird wet chicken' – could well be the greatest thing on this forum.

I dunno... CT takes sum beatin

don;t mind me, i've had a drink tonight and third filled an ipod with 'music' (is that the term?)...listenin to Jelly Roll Morton now...my dads gonna luv this if me n mrsx ever get it finished.
Ta anywways...there's lots btter than I... I thought davey Bs diary whichb was truncated and unfinsihed quite brillient and I was pretty jealous when I read it thinkin that I could never reach such higth altitudes of wit. Its a pity that people have to resort to petty inmsults on the forum...as, its not really neccessary. Its pretty feeble.
I was cross over xmas when there was some nasty stuff goin on...in fact i lost sleep over it...but now I wouldn't care as I have grown a layer of calloused skin over that particular sensitive area and it would take a pretty serious issue to get me goin now I can tell you.

Yes, Davey B is a genius – his diary, his art, his wit, his avatars.

He is quite beautiful too, if that photo is anything to go by ;)

Yes. Did you know he used to look like this?

Hot Hot Hot

he always looks like that to me.
With a bruised toenail.

The toenail has healed up very nicely now. :)
