@emmathedilemma

Valid point with the £

But I'm not planning on entering the kitchen unless it's to top up a 🍷

Ohh I would love to have this dilemma.

I think from the Chinese Takeaway I would have half a crispy duck or from the Indian Takeaway it would have to be Lamb Biryani with a stuffed paratha.

WildImaginings · 06/10/2021 19:37

If Chinese i would get: large egg fried rice, sweet and sour king prawns Cantonese style, salt & chilli tofu, chow mein.

I'd still have over half of it left for the next day 😋

TeethingBabyHelp · 06/10/2021 19:38

Mmm I always have Chinese when my husband is out as he doesn't enjoy it.

I usually have 1/4 duck pancakes, salt and pepper squid and chow mein. I recognise that's a lot of food Grin

Burgerlover9 · 06/10/2021 19:38

Cajun fries, a burger and a coke from five guys.

Silkieschickens · 06/10/2021 19:39

With Chinese I normally order one of

Mixed starter
Pork dumplings
Duck with pancakes

then banana or pineapple fritters.

NigellaSeed · 06/10/2021 19:40

Singapore noodles chicken chow mein and I wouldn't have to share like I normally do! Enjoy

Bearsbearsbears40 · 06/10/2021 19:40

I was driving home really wishing DH was back to midweek overnight travelling for work so I could order Chinese food for one tonight - sadly no chance just now! If I was ordering I’d get a special fried rice, or mixed omelette with fried rice and chips…ah well, never mind!

Bearsbearsbears40 · 06/10/2021 19:41

Ooh and salt and pepper chicken wings!

ArblemarchTFruitbat · 06/10/2021 19:42

Domino's pizza - vegetarian hot with extra anchovies and olives and extra garlic and herb dip.

whatwouldyouchoose18 · 06/10/2021 19:42

@Bearsbearsbears40 😂😂😂

I totally get that. This doesn't happen for me!
Wish it would more often.....

🤤🙈

Chicken passanda
Plain naan
Natural yogurt

Big bar of chocolate

bestsoupintown · 06/10/2021 19:43

I'd definitely order Wagamama. Maybe just loads of gyozo and some edamame.

Never had a takeaway, I live off road, in a dark area, and quite a way from fast food places, and would feel sorry for a delivery person trying to find me.

whatwouldyouchoose18 · 06/10/2021 19:44

@Lulu1919 oh yeah! I stupidly forgot about the afters!

Chocolate pick up after the school run...

Thank you 🙏

If Chinese seafood then I’d go for salt answer pepper squid - will cope with delivery, where a lot of fish dishes might overcook.

@whatwouldyouchoose18 you are seriously making me reconsider my soup and bread roll.

Also do you like sweet stuff. For a real treat I once ordered a tub of ice cream - think it was with pizza and luckily kept well apart.

whatwouldyouchoose18 · 06/10/2021 19:46

@1forAll74 that's the saddest thing I've read this evening!

I keep waiting for the next time I’ll be able to do this as I really want to try Korean spicy rice cakes! Whatever you order I bet it will be delicious @whatwouldyouchoose18

Never?! If I lived off the beaten track I think I’d still order a takeaway every now and then and just tip really well.

Do you ever pick up takeaway food yourself? @1forAll74

whatwouldyouchoose18 · 06/10/2021 19:49

@BrilliantBulb ooo they sound delicious! I love anything with rice and spice! Thank you il be sure to update tomorrow evening 😋

@1forAll74
I’ve lived somewhere with little or no delivery - some of the stuff from supermarkets is pretty good, though of course spoiled by needing to heat it yourself - i can recommend the Chinese from M&S.

Holothane · 06/10/2021 19:50

King prawn fried rice with Chinese curry sauce. Or a mushroom pizza.

whatwouldyouchoose18 · 06/10/2021 19:53

@Bloodymess so I like your thinking with the squid 🦑

I can see myself swaying towards a Chinese.

It's just a huge decision for one person to make alone.....

P.s love soup and a bread roll!!!

Nothing better than DH out, kids in bed and a takeaway for one!

Marshy86 · 06/10/2021 19:56

A selection of starters from Chinese 😂
