to think that food from the majority of UK Chinese takeaways is vile?

[GetOrfMoiLand]

I just think that half the time it's not worth spending the money and I would be just as happy with cheese on toast.

Do chinese takeaways have one basic standard menu which most of them adhere to?

I went to my aunt's house in Chigwell last night, we had achinese takeaway. The same crappy old boring list of food like I have ordered from any other chinese in any other town in which I have lived.

Kung Po chicken in glutinous, sticky sauce.

What kind of napalm juice do they put in the sweet and sour sauce?

Dessicated and tasteless crispy duck.

Mongolia chicken made of chickens from the original mongol hordes, it seems,

Hot and sour soup made of pva glue.

I have eaten lovely chinese food in chinese restarurants, but takeaways are never worth it I don't think.

Mmmmmmm, Chinese is ordered. From the delivery people, because they are open on Mondays.

Drinking lots of Coke Zero too, lots of lovely aspartame to freak out the 'additives are evil' brigade.

Have ordered some new things, trying to branch out, but there will definitely be orange sauce on the crispy beef in chilli.

Stew can be eaten tomorrow. It will be lovelier on a day when I haven't been thinking about Chinese quite so much!

Mmmm ... I am so hungry, may have to revisit this thread tomorrow and order food!

hmm I like noodles. I just made tagine and cous cous. So I feel sick reading about food on a full tummy!!

Oh God Im dying for egg fried rice with beef in black bean sauce now.
GetOrf you bitch

YABU. But only because the salad that I've just eaten didn't quite cut it after reading this thread.

Might have to take a trip to the Chinese supermarket tomorrow...
