Shall I get a curry in?

Kids are fed and in bed.
DH has gone out with workmates for a curry and won't be back until late.
I could have salad with beetroot & walnuts for my dinner. Or I could call the takeaway shop two roads down and get myself a curry.

WWYD?

Tis obvious.
But you know that anyway...

Madras or Sri lankan.

How hungry are you?

I would get a curry if I were genuinely very hungry but if not particularly then I would earn a thousand extra brownie/smug points by having the salad.

How would that earn the op smug points?
Curry curry curry!

Christ, yes. I can't think of an occasion where the answer to that question should be "no".

ThurlHoHoHow · 05/12/2013 20:02

Though I'd like to add that it definitely needs to be a curry. I gave in to the takeaway urge the other day but through laziness I ordered a Papa John's pizza as you can do it online. I ordered their Festive Special pizza.

It wasn't festive. It was, however, somewhat 'special'...

Well, I didn't have lunch because I was at work, but did pick at the children's tea. So not ravenous, but quite hungry.
I might order something really nutty as DH is allergic so I only get nutty food when he's out.

Oh! Chinese food! Kung Pao chicken! Mmmm!

I'm totally going to end up with minestrone cup a soup & toast

Of course you should support your local independent business in this manner.

Good thinking DevonCiderPunk!

I have just supported Walker's in a similar manner.

PeteCampbellsRecedingHairline · 05/12/2013 20:28

If you want something nutty then you must get Chinese.

If you want curry then get saag paneer, peshwari naan, lamb bhuna.

Or Thai food. Yum.
