Reserve from the usual

You will never find me ordering an Indian takeaway as it is my least favourite food.

Pizza.

Not overly keen on Indian, but I will enjoy it if everyone else chooses it.

Nextphonewontbesamsung · 05/01/2020 18:33

Pizza. It's just dull and never done well in the UK (I know that makes me a pizza snob but so be it).

Ginfordinner · 05/01/2020 18:36

Fish and chips

QueenofLouisiana · 05/01/2020 18:41

Thai, I can’t stand lemongrass wish seems very prevalent.

Pizza- very expensive and no better (or worse) than a decent one from the supermarket.

HerRoyalNotness · 05/01/2020 18:42

Pizza and burgers. and of course it’s what the DC want every time

LiveFatsDieYoGnu · 05/01/2020 18:42

Fried chicken, but Chinese would probably come a close second. I've been to some fabulous Chinese restaurants, but never found a Chinese takeaway I like.

BumbleBeee69 · 05/01/2020 18:43

Most of it.. pizza in Italy too is equally crap.. it's just crap food

Devonishome1 · 05/01/2020 18:44

Definitely Indian can’t stand them.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 05/01/2020 18:46

Fish and chips. DH's favourite, but it's just so greasy and beige... If they have a chippy tea I usually end up having a salad or a sandwich instead because 🤢

theThreeofWeevils · 05/01/2020 18:48

Kentucky Fried Rat, with pizza a close second.

But sheesh, I love a kebab...

riotlady · 05/01/2020 18:48

Kebabs, don’t understand the appeal at all!

CrowleysBentley · 05/01/2020 18:50

Fried chicken /KFC. I hate soggy, sticky chicken skin, it's disgusting. Rubbish, obviously cheap frozen chips, shitty salty instant gravy, overcooked sweetcorn and cheapo coleslaw. Unfortunately it's DD's favourite takeaway food.

In our area it's Chinese food though. There is not one decent Chinese restaurant within ordering distance, they're all crap. I love good Chinese food too.

JeezyPeeps · 05/01/2020 18:52

I'm with the majority. Pizza.

I quite like a homemade pizza every now and then, but bought pizzas are just a bit.. Meh. What takeaway, restaurant or supermarket.

BearSoFair · 05/01/2020 18:54

Chinese here. We had one decent local but the owner retired and the family moved away. I really miss them!

TheGirlWhoLived · 05/01/2020 18:54

I really detest fish and chips. Never eaten chips, not a pastry fan and I don’t like batter- can’t get over the oiliness, bleargh. If absolutely necessary I would grab a chicken burger

ALongHardWinter · 05/01/2020 18:58

Chinese. Just not a fan of Chinese food,the only thing I like is egg fried rice,and prawn crackers.

Doyoumind · 05/01/2020 19:01

Fried chicken. Some pizzas too. Some are ok.

Love Chinese, Thai, Indian though.

BlouseAndSkirt · 05/01/2020 19:04

Pizza.
Total waste of money.
You can buy much better sourdough, wood fire-cooked pizzas in supermarket for a third of the price, eaten properly hot.

Not mad keen on Chinese. The Takeaway versions seem to be gunky sauce on low quality ingredients.

I really don't like takeaway, except for fish & chips. We have an award-winning chippy in our town, lucky. It's easily as good as the stuff you can get from a decent chippy at a fishing port town.

Otherwise, I don't really like Indian - generally swimming in oil, & often too much reliance on chilli rather than other spices. We used to have a good one, but they changed hands, sadly.
Ditto Chinese. With the added MSG factor. (Migraine trigger.)
Pizza - very variable - I've never had it from a chain takeaway & really enjoyed it. We have an excellent independent Italian restaurant locally, though, & if they offered takeaway I probably would.
KFC - urgh. Salty, greasy, crap.
I've literally never eaten a kebab, the thought turns my stomach. DH gets them regularly & they look vile, although occasionally they smell vaguely tolerable.
Burger - e.g. Macdonald's - no way. Flabby burger, limp lettuce, plastic cheese, & chemical smelling, long-life bun. Over-salted fries. Horrendous corporate values. Haven't eaten in McD's for nearly 30 years, although DD finds it very appealing... Hmm

My least favourite would have to be kebab, as just the thought makes me feel nauseous. The meat literally looks like compressed sweepings from the floor of a slaughterhouse.

Dieu · 05/01/2020 19:15

Indian.

RudolphIsMySpiritAnimal · 05/01/2020 19:17

Chinese. Loathe Chinese food. Love Thai, oddly. Indian's my favourite though. Could happily eat it for every meal.😋

AwdBovril · 05/01/2020 19:17

Hasten to add, aside fro the fish & chips, we could probably make much nicer & healthier versions of most of the above at home for less money. Especially the Indian food, & the pizza.

GeorgiaGirl52 · 05/01/2020 19:22

Mexican

MoonlightMistletoe · 05/01/2020 19:25

Pizza. Although when I do have it I'm like "why do I never get youuuu" 😁

MoonlightMistletoe · 05/01/2020 19:26

Oh and fish and chips

My favourites are Indian and Chinese
