I’ve had a really disappointing takeaway and now I’m sad

First world problem ahoy.

We’re on holidays. I’m also on a diet but my husband has been talking all week about a local fish and chip place that’s meant to be amazing and said he’d love to try it tonight, so I planned my food for the day accordingly and was hungry and in the mood for takeaway.

I’m not the biggest fan of chips but the website and Instagram page went into lots of detail about the fish and seafood that comes off the boat every day- squid, prawns etc.

The website descriptions of what I ordered were-
Calamari- fresh squid in our signature light and crispy batter
Onion rings- slices of fresh onion in our signature light and crispy batter

Sounds nice, yeah?

This is the shit they gave me.

Clearly cooked from large bags of frozen crap. Cheap, nasty, tasteless, and processed. Completely inedible.

I’m sad. And hungry.

And to make it worse, they close ridiculously early so I couldn’t even phone up to complain because they were shut by the time I got home and opened these abominations.

We went to Tesco earlier and I got some ribs,honey and rice to do a nice tea with tonight and was thinking of your horrible takeaway when i paid so at least you have made people think twice before spending their hard earned cash on a crappy takeaway x

Little update- went out for dinner tonight to a fabulous local spot that does Japanese food and it was amazing, and much more diet-friendly

We are going for a couple of drinks later and haven't had a takeaway of any kind for at least 6 weeks so I am quite looking forward to it.Just need to decide what to go for to reduce chance of being disappointed 😊

The increasingly cold weather is making me crave a lovely spicy Indian takeaway especially when I've had a drink or two.Could really go for a lamb madras or a chicken curry then.

That is beyond awful OP. Only consolation- your diet isn’t ruined
