I'm gonna order mad chinese food this week...last time around it was indian....how bout you?

Chinese nearly every time - i live next door to a chinese takeaway so its a no brainer really ,I'll have duck in plum sauce and the missus will have beef fried rice with cashews and garlic- other than that - its gotta be pizza. Ham,pineapple and pepperoni is the only way to go washed down with a nice garlic bread with cheese.

[MC Moot]

Pineapple has no place on a pie!....jus sayin....;)...never fish and spud from your chipper?....wrapped in newspaper...do they still do that?

[Guy Incognito]

they do chips but not in newspaper but i have never been a big fan - the quality varies so much from chipper to chipper and places that specialise in other stuff dont always do the greatest chips - next door is ok at that but their chinese food is awesome plus we always get free prawn crackers and a coupla quid discount. Its called the golden eagle but as i am next door neighbour i just call it "jim's"

I wish I could get fried chicken delivered. Why is delivery only for pizza and chinese food?

[HEIRESS]

I take sushi home alone because i hate eating alone at restuarants. so I avoid them when I can, but if I get a sushi craving I cant ignore it.

it works well in the winter because it stays nice and chilled on the walk home.

so very true...both the eating out alone sentiment and ma natures mobile fridge...oh canada...

[MC Moot]

hmmm...I wish I could get Ethiopian or Mexican delivered here....and the Greeks have yet to figure out how to deliver properly...they try...never tastes as good,all messy....

[abcdefz]

Why are people so uncomfortable doing things alone?

[MC Moot]

I have my exceptions I guess...like I like to grab a paper and do the counter at the diner solo...or Thursday's when you could still smoke in pubs,I used to snag the weekly art's and entertainment rag,have a pint,smoke,plan weekend,eat lone wolf like...I suppose if I can read I'm good...I find taking a meal to be a sociable event...

[HEIRESS]

Why are people so uncomfortable doing things alone?

I do everything alone. everything. I just dont see the need to go out and eat alone in a restaurant, since that would seem like an "extravagance". eating out with friends is atleast social and its easier than cooking at home for multiple people (which I enjoy but its not always possible especially mid-week with a busy schedule. that and the fact that have almost no friends left in this town). Id rather walk to the grocery store alone, walk home alone, cook alone, and eat alone because atleast that eats up an entire evening of loneliness and it didnt cost me 3 times the amount of money.

[abcdefz]

Ah. See, I spend the money because I don't have kids and my retirement is fucked anyway. :D

[abcdefz]

...in other news: I wish we were paid more often than once a month. :(

[HEIRESS]

Ah. See, I spend the money because I don't have kids and my retirement is fucked anyway. :D

hey man, you could always end up marrying a younger woman with a fertile womb who is diligent with her cash.

[jabumbo]

i'm a fan of wings after payday


once i realized how terrible they are for you, i try to avoid eating them very often, so it makes it a good occasion.

I've switched to salt and pepper short ribs or a bucket of mussels in wine and onion...but boy I did love me some painfully saucy wings...(y)

Want to go out for coffee? :D

[jabumbo]

^ the young ones call it "java" these days :rolleyes:

[abcdefz]

Cuppa joe.

[MC Moot]

Coffee, cappucino,hojo, kaffa, kahveh, qahwah, latte, moche, java, joe, and coffea by whatever name as long as the Heiress agrees to go...:D

[MC Moot]

Tonight I'm gonna get a cabbage rolls,latkas and perogy's....(y)

[abcdefz]

Indian food. (y)

[abcdefz]

Man, I hate it when they do this.

So I place the order for eight people. Twenty minutes goes by and the lady calls back and says they can't do three of the eight dishes because
there isn't time to thaw out the lamb or chicken. She keeps trying to push the goat.

"Goat? Goat?"

What do they do if a customer orders it right there in the restaurant?

That's fucked up.

Two to three days notice for the whole chicken? Are you fucking kidding me?

Aaaaaaaaarrrgh.

[MC Moot]

Of course they're trying to push the goat...nobody wants the goat...goat is gamey...that aftertaste...the only people who do goat right are the Jamaicans...with rice and beans,chucks of tomato and a Heineken....proper....(y)

[abcdefz]

They should just scale back on their ordering, then, rather than try to evangelize goat on people. (n)

[HEIRESS]

the episode on iron chef where goat was the secret ingredient kinda turned me off from ever trying goatse.

[RobMoney$]

Gyro with Lamb meat on the other hand is delicious.

[Rock]

Of course they're trying to push the goat...nobody wants the goat...goat is gamey...that aftertaste...the only people who do goat right are the Jamaicans...with rice and beans,chucks of tomato and a Heineken....proper....(y)

Nah...Pakistani style with the right garam masala rub with some chuntey and naan. You really can't top it.

[MC Moot]

Nah...Pakistani style with the right garam masala rub with some chuntey and naan. You really can't top it.

chutney is rude...but I semi-concur cause I've been to a couple of Sikh weddings where they did this goat dish that was literally cooked for 2 days in these ginourmous pots...cooked that gamey swamp taste right out...it was amazing...fuck now I have a craving for butter chicken just for the sauce to dip some hot nan in....heaven on earth....

[HEIRESS]

Im so making channa masala for dinner tonight. though I have no naan/roti :(

[MC Moot]

At this Indian joint near me the kitchen has this big see through window so you watch the guy's cook,it's trick...I love watching them slap the naan on the sides of those crazy ovens...how they manage not to burn themselves is beyond me...Alec Baldwin was there a few nights back with Robert Kennedy...he's pretty fat...

[Rock]

Im so making channa masala for dinner tonight. though I have no naan/roti :(

channa masala is good with basmati rice too. it works. i promise.

[hitmonlee]

my housemate manages a greek restaurant and they do a lovely goat dish but i rate goat curry above it.

[MC Moot]

I think it's gonna be Empanadas or a Thai sub and shrimp rolls...currently undecided and quite hungry...

[abcdefz]

I made my lunch today.

Salmon, brown rice with salsa, and broccoli.

Not bad.

[HEIRESS]

channa masala is good with basmati rice too. it works. i promise.

oh, I had the rice planned anyways my friend. I eat my curries with rice AND the roti. low-carb, I am not.

[Gareth]

roti/naan is key

[MC Moot]

1)Seafood medley: Prawns,scallops,clams,mixed vegetable
2)Ginger fried tofu

[abcdefz]

[MC Moot]

*at an attractive and completley reasonable payday loan interest rate of 27% on 7 days*

[abcdefz]

Gee, that is attractive and reasonable! Gimme two!

[MC Moot]

Excellent!...I can see you ,sir, posses a solid mind as well as solid shoulders,while I have you here I would like to suggest you consider our blood and/or organ exchange for fast cash opportunity's....(y)

[abcdefz]

You don't happen to have any bridges for sale, do you? Something -- I don't know -- at least four lanes; I need at least four lanes.

[MC Moot]

[HEIRESS]

[MC Moot]

I think it's gonna be Thai...lemon grass soup,yum neua and red curry tofu with cashews and chili's...again I wish the greeks in my hood could do takeout properly...cause i crave some souvlaki and tatziki cucumber salad and that flat bread they brush with olive oil...:rolleyes:

[abcdefz]

We've ordered in pizza and wings.

[MC Moot]

We've ordered in pizza and wings.

I think you guy's are in a rut...;)

[abcdefz]

That's what the guys like. Week after week after week.

I did talk them into Togos sandwiches last week. And whaddya know! -- three out of eight sandwiches were wrong. That went over well.

[HEIRESS]

I hit up a portugese bakery this morning and had a banging sweet bun and a slab of so many peppers they were falling off flatbread pizza thing.

and for lunch I had a big ole plate of lebanese assorted goodies. I could eat that shit every day.

tonite we are eating my leftover pasta I made last night. I used a hot italian sausage as the base, added some olive pesto, then some deli green and calamata olives. rounded it out with some onion, garlic, assorted peppers and fresh tomato/canned. topped with some asiago cheese. I cant be modest because it was truly amazing.
we are also making a yellow bean/yellow beet salad for the side tonite also. cute little baby yellow beets mind you <3

[OZBEASTIE]

chinese is the worst of all the asian foods. over here its only eaten by the lower class.

That is such utter shite, I eat Chinese food all the time and I am by no means lower class thank you very much.

Have you ever heard of Yum Cha? Or are you completely ignorant...

[icy manipulator]

chinese indeed. easy choice. it's just alot harder to choose which of the 100ish dishes to go for

[MC Moot]

1 order beef and broccoli = $14:50

1 order vegetable fried rice = $12:50

2 spring rolls = $7:20

M.S.G = free

The costs no longer add up, mind you this is better than average quality Western Chinese…but when ya order Chinese you need to be able to fly off the handle…and get like a minimum of 4 items outside the rice,you know?…and now days that ends up at 50-60 bucks,easy,and there is usually just the 2 of us….I wish we had San Francisco style Chinese in the smaller, box containers with the wire top thingy and the dragons on it…you know?....(y)

[hitmonlee]

That is such utter shite, I eat Chinese food all the time and I am by no means lower class thank you very much.

Have you ever heard of Yum Cha? Or are you completely ignorant...

er yes i have had yum cha. it was pretty much the worst food experience of my life. i ended up drinking green tea the entire time.

if chinese wasn't intended for the lower class - why is there a concentration of chinese places in poor suburbs, and why is it so cheap.

now... can someone please shine my shoes?

[russhie]

That's pretty ignorant, really - just because you don't like yum cha and have noticed a few chinese takeaways in non-affluent suburbs doesn't make it a food for the 'lower class'. Like Nando's is completely high class, yeah?

[Lyman Zerga]

i dont remember that i ever got any kind of food delivered

i usually deliver myself to the food

[hitmonlee]

That's pretty ignorant, really - just because you don't like yum cha and have noticed a few chinese takeaways in non-affluent suburbs doesn't make it a food for the 'lower class'. Like Nando's is completely high class, yeah?

the quality of the food exceeds that of any chinese restaurant. i can eat a piece of chicken without biting on a piece of gristle or fat.

[MC Moot]
