Aibu to be encouraging others to think about the food they are missing?

Mine will be mussels in black bean sauce then king prawns in pepper sauce with egg fried rice from the naice Chinese Restaurant near us.😋

There's a burger place near here that's won loads of awards. I'd go there and get their Philly cheese steak rolls for starter and their pepperoni burger. A whole bottle of prosecco.

I don't even want anything fancy Grin

PenisBeakerDipper · 15/04/2020 15:24

I just want a falafel wrap from the Lebanese place and a pint in my local.

Redyellowpink · 15/04/2020 15:27

Wagamama- summer rolls and vegi katsu curry. I really don't have expensive tastes Grin

ButterbuttSquash · 15/04/2020 15:27

I’ve got the Prosecco but I’d murder my local deli’s salt beef grilled cheese chilli reuben and just to sit in any restaurant/pub/cocktail bar with my husband/Family/friends would be amazing right now.

DifficultPifcultLemonDifficult · 15/04/2020 15:28

KFC - a massive bucket of chicken and some gravy, and a banana thick shake from McDs.

Or and a huge mixed grill from one of my favourite local places, followed by their home made brownies and Ferrero rocher ice cream.

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 15/04/2020 15:28

I want my fav Indian to open again:
Chicken Biriani
Bhaji
Poppadoms
Nann

Oohh and a McDonald’s at some point:
2 x hamburger
1 x large fries
Cold milk....yes I’m odd but it goes so well!

Ohh and if I’m going out to eat:
Crab fried rice and spring rolls from the Thai restaurant Busaba

Can you tell I’m hungry?!

Mucklowe · 15/04/2020 15:31

I'll be having a blackbean tofu and boiled rice, shanghai noodles, and veg curry from the local Chinese. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! If I wasn't pregnant, I'd wash it down with a pint of Guinness at the pub.

Tartyflette · 15/04/2020 15:34

Oh, the dilemma!
Do I go for dim sum in Chinatown or wonderful charcoal grilled meats at a Turkish Mangal place or tapas and fino at a Spanish tapas bar......
Or just a nice pub lunch?
I suspect that lots of places will be heaving in the first few weeks after they (and we) can start up again.
But I am also concerned that many good eating places may have gone to the wall in the interim.

SoupDragon · 15/04/2020 15:37

Probably not bat, medium-rare.

mrsfeatherbottom · 15/04/2020 15:39

Dim sum!

AgnesNaismith · 15/04/2020 15:39

A bowl of spicy beef and chicken Pho with a side of squid, a large glass of the Pinot and a lemongrass tea to follow

JigsawsAreInPieces · 15/04/2020 15:40

A pint in my local pub. That's the one thing I've been craving since they had to shut. Sad

Shockers · 15/04/2020 15:40

I want to go for brunch at the cafe on the park, have a walk, then go to the little pub where they do cask ales, with my friend. We’ll sit in the sun, chat, laugh and drink nice beer all afternoon in their beer garden, then we’ll have one of their epic pizzas for tea.

Then the next day, I’ll go to my favourite country pub with DH for Sunday lunch.

Sertchgi123 · 15/04/2020 15:41

Fish, chips and mushy peas at our local pub.

WineorWhine · 15/04/2020 15:43

I can’t wait to visit our favourite Greek place. Alexandra’s, amazing fish and of course lots of lovely Mediterranean salads, live music, great service. I think I’ll have the seabass.
Last time we were there was Valentine’s Day.

PrincessHoneysuckle · 15/04/2020 15:44

Oh I forgot about McDonalds!
2 double cheeseburgers,
Large fries and a coke.

@WineorWhine sounds amazing where is that?

SausageCrush · 15/04/2020 15:45

It's got to be pizza for me.
I know you can get them in a supermarket, but they're not the same!
I'd probably go with pepperoni with a side salad of rocket, Parmesan and balsamic vinegar, a big glass of smooth red wine and tiramisu for dessert.

HoneysuckIejasmine · 15/04/2020 15:47

I will go to the local Thai place I had a booking at before lockdown was announced. We'd had it planned for months, babysitters arranged and everything

Aposterhasnoname · 15/04/2020 15:50

Big plate of poppadoms with pickles, prawn puri, chicken dopiaza and a garlic naan washed down with an ice cold lager.

I really, really want that now.

otterturk · 15/04/2020 15:52

Around here (London) 90% of places are open for takeaway. We usually eat out three or four times per week so we've been ordering in once or twice when we fancy it. My local sushi place is brilliant for delivery.

magimedi · 15/04/2020 15:52

Sat on the beach with a big packet of fish & chips. Heaven.

nevergooogle · 15/04/2020 15:54

Steak and Chips from the pub

thismeansnothing · 15/04/2020 15:54

There's a really nice cafe near me which is attached to a farm.... DD loves their cheese on toast. Doorstop bread and so much cheese. Their cakes are also amazing. I'll go for that with a cup of tea please.

lastqueenofscotland · 15/04/2020 15:56

I’m going to go for a huge meal at my favourite restaurant
Then go on a big bar crawl at my 5 favourite bars
