To order a Chinese when I've eaten dinner

So - I was really fancying a Chinese tonight. I'm home on my own, watching a movie and really fancied it. I'm also visiting my parents from tomorrow which means home cooked food only for a while as they're not takeaway people!

However - I decided to be good and save money and I ended up eating a rather disappointing ready meal that I already had in the fridge (I promise I do usually cook proper stuff for myself!)

But I'm still really fancying the Chinese!! WIBU to still order one? I ate my dinner about 2 hours ago so I'm not particularly hungry - but the crispy beef keeps calling me.

Go for it - I ordered crispy chilli beef and egg fried rice tonight.

I'm currently pregnant and craving it constantly!

Don't want to rub it in but it's here and it's epic!

Oh thanks OP. I've just had to order Chinese!

I've had a craving for, er, really hot curry (hard to believe, I know, given my username) so I cooked one up right there and started eating it before it was properly cooked

Eaten it straight after the gym and it isn't a takeaway so can't be too bad. I also took an alli tablet so I will be shitting that fucker out something terrible tomorrow

me and my OH do this sometimes, we eat dinner, then 3-4 hrs later we fancy a dominos or other takeaway and we end up getting it Grin we do this every few months.

We'll due to having already eaten dinner I have leftovers - crispy beef for the first one of you who pops over!

😭 I want a Chinese but live super rural with no take always ....

Get one and enjoy every mouthful for me!

God, I'd get indigestion if I had a takeaway at this time of night, or even when you first posted. There's nothing worse than a disappointing dinner, though.

Oh man I am jealous. I'm hungry despite having dinner. And there's nothing to eat here as we're on a health kick.

All I want is a biscuit.

Or a packet of crisps.

And now a Chinese!

Hope you enjoyed it OP!

Roast pork chow mein, chicken balls, chips and crispy chili beef.

I almost cried when i discovered that the amazing chinese place that everyone was raving about locally didnt do crispy chilli beef. Everything else was delicious and fairly cheap but no chilli beef=banished from the menu drawer in this house!
