What takeaway tonight?

55 replies

We are thinking of takeaway tonight, not sure if that’s ethically dubious given the weather? But it’s where we are.

Not Indian food or Thai, 9 year old isn’t the biggest fan.

we live in a city, so quite a few options, but we tend to be quite dull.

so, suggestions please! Inspiration? What are you having this evening?

Because everyone knows the only acceptable dinner when it’s over 20 degrees in the UK is a “picky dinner”

M@S are literally doing a picky tea bundle, we had it last week 😂

And delivery guy didn’t looked like he was about to drop dead from the early evening early twenties summer sun??!

FurForksSake · 28/06/2025 19:07

It’s 26 degrees here, but we collected. And no, they all looked absolutely fine 😆😆😆

And I had three chicken selects and a salad. Plus a couple of halloumi fries.

Did you get the toffee crisp mcflurry 😋

TheCurious0range · 28/06/2025 19:11

Sushi, I had some fantastic sushi yesterday

TheCurious0range · 28/06/2025 19:12

Didn't realise I was too late!

It's 29 here even now, I wouldn't want to be on a motorbike in protective gear!

FurForksSake · 28/06/2025 19:15

I need my family to go away (temporarily) so I have an excuse for a ridiculous amount of sushi.

Do you live in a city. Ours all come in cars. Had one come on a cycle once but never had a motorbike although I wish they did it would get here before it got cold

No a seaside town, most are either on motorbikes/mopeds or those electric bikes

I NEED one of those now.

MadameSzyszkoBohusz · 28/06/2025 19:20

Sushi for us. I would have preferred Indian but DH was really keen on sushi.

I’m getting a sashimi platter as I don’t like rice.

RabbitsRock · 28/06/2025 19:22

My choice would have been KFC or Chinese. We’re having ham & cheese salad

Favouritefruits · 28/06/2025 19:28

I live in the North and it’s so cold today, I want my share of the nice weather everyone else seems to enjoy! I fancy a big roast but I have nobody to cook it for me so we had an Indian instead!

TheLadyIsAVamp · 28/06/2025 19:29

We have just had a kebab from our recently discovered Turkish place. Only discovered it as it's recently won some awards. It's so delicious. It comes in a little round foil tray with the most amazing Turkish rice, beautiful fluffy homemade bread, homemade chilli and garlic sauces and an amazing salad, I get extra pickled chillis and gherkins. I have mine topped with chicken and lamb shish and am already looking forward to the leftovers after a couple of glasses of wine 🍷.

That sounds fabulous! We have found that the shish etc freeze really well for future meals! The portions are usually huge with some of these places.

Yep!

FurForksSake · 28/06/2025 19:42

Picky tea must include quiche and salad cream.

Nah; just had a tablespoon and left the rest of course! 🫠

No, I managed 3 selects and a small side salad. I knew we were having a takeaway so ate accordingly through the day.

I had a picky dinner. Antipasti platters, couple of salads, meat on skewers from the Airfryer. It was nice.

FurForksSake · 28/06/2025 19:58

That does sound nice. Hurrah for air fryers. Did you make the skewers? I’ve had some nice itsu ones recently.
