to be able to eat my own carry out meal

[inlectorecumbit]

Just that.
I am on the 5:2 diet and did 4:3 this week. My reward that l have been drooling over all day is a Chinese Kung Po shredded chicken .
Cue DH going to pick up said meal and a Chicken black bean for himself-then he helps himself to 1/2 mine and said l thought we could share...
No it's my bloody dinner-if l had wanted Chicken and black bean l would have ordered it.
I am now in a huff after a minor strop
My Friday night is in tatters
IANBU am l ?

still sulking
plotting revenge

[janethegirl2]

Revenge is a dish best served cold

[Monty27]

Have you scoffed the leftovers? I would

[inlectorecumbit]

my left overs are in the fridge.
(D)H casually mentioned he was hungry-- l glowered at him. He is currently eating a plate of cereal. [fist pump emotion]

He can watch me tomorrow as l eat it in front of him.
As for revenge...l see he has a very large bar of fruit and nut beside his chair. Don't want to blow my diet but he needs to be taught a lesson.
what do l do???

[Monty27]

Can the choccie bar be the :1? Well you can be 'good' tomorrow? Revenge is sweet. :)

[BlackeyedShepherdsbringsheep]

well if you do not eat it you could hide half of it.

[Monty27]

Or all of it

[MadameDePompom]

In Scotland a carry out/oot always refers to booze not food!

But back to the OP, I only share if I like what the other person has ordered. No way I'm giving up half my shredded duck for some dull sweet and sour chicken.

[PomBearWithAnOFRS]

Kill him with FIRE!!! :D :D

I like to share curries and Chinese meals but have relatives and friends who don't. Agree that sharing or not sharing should be discussed before purchase. If 1 person wants to share and the other doesn't tough on the sharer. Just because Chinese banquets exist it doesn't mean all Chinese meals have to be banquets and you can never just eat your own meal like you would with UK food.
Chinese carry out here in Fife, although I'm English so call them take aways

[fanjoforthemammaries7850]

It doesn't always refer to booze. Well not in Edinburgh

[JessieMcJessie]

Or Stirling. Or Falkirk. I do hate the way Mumsnetters always seem to think their own narrow experience is the only valid one.

[Katedotness1963]

Another Scot. Cerry oot is booze, takeaway is food.

[JessieMcJessie]

FFS! Kate ONLY IN SOME PARTS OF SCOTLAND! What, do you think the OP has just randomly made up a phrase for the purpose of this thread!

[inlectorecumbit]

Bloody hell l am in Glasgow.. we had a CARRY OUT food last night. Call it what you want ffs but in our area it's a carry out.

Had the remainder ofmy chinese ( and his for breakfast this morning :) tasted even better than last night.

[StealthPolarBear]

Is it still carry out if it's delivered?

[NoCapes]

Clicked this thread just to see what the hell a carry out meal was
Won't say anything about it now though, too many angry Scottish people about

YABU

[TrappedInAWitchesCurse]

I'm Scottish and carry out = food to me too!

[bumblefeline]

Carry out in Dundee is a take away as well.

My DH is Scottish and when we first met, I was perplexed when he said he was getting a carry out.

Going food shopping is also called going out for messages

[BloodyDogHairs]

And once you get your messages you put them on the bunker

[bumblefeline]

Just had to ask DH to translate that for me Bloody.

Err, you okay there?

[MadameDePompom]

And you, are you okay?

[inlectorecumbit]

aye after my chinky carry oot and a bottle of buckie l feel pure dead brilliant this morning.

[NuggetofPurestGreen]

In Northern Ireland a carry out may refer to both booze and food. Tis confusing.
