Fish and chips too heavy. Pizza so expensive compared to £6 fancy supermarket pizza. Indian I’d rather have in a restaurant. DH prefers Chinese but he is wrong.

Who’s with me?

You are absolutely and completely wrong, your husband has this one, it’s Chinese and I’ll hear no different.

sparepantsandtoothbrush · 09/06/2023 21:10

Only if you've had a barrel full of beer first

IAmAnIdiot123 · 09/06/2023 21:10

Actually, thinking about it, you are right!

I love the salad with donner meat and garlic mayo / chilli sauce combo. Its blooming lovely! Might have to get one next week!

ItsCalledAConversation · 09/06/2023 21:16

Depends on the kebab. Proper Turkish/Lebanese is good but I’d still smash a proper Chinese over that any day.

CuteCillian · 09/06/2023 21:19

I had a kebab in Krakow last month. It was sublime and my mouth waters with the memory.

HollyBookBlue · 09/06/2023 21:21

If you're talking about a proper Turkish kebab, you are right. If you're talking about a cheap donner, then no 🤣

BCBird · 09/06/2023 21:23

Not a big fan of takeaways. Had a kebab once- omg. Wat crap. Had not been.drinking-perhaps that is where I went wrong🙄

Titsywoo · 09/06/2023 21:25

I can't eat kebabs without my gallbladder reacting very badly so YABU from me Grin

I'm not a fan of takeaways really but if I have to choose it is Chinese - everything else makes me feel rubbish

newnamenewmane · 09/06/2023 21:25

I love a kebab!

justgettingthroughtheday · 09/06/2023 21:26

YABVVVU everyone knows the best takeaway is Chinese!

YellowAndGreenToBeSeen · 09/06/2023 21:27

Cheap ‘elephant leg’ doner meat is disgusting.

A chicken shish with red cabbage, red onion, humous, fluffy flat breads, pickles and good garlic and chilli sauces is a thing of wonder.

DyslexicPoster · 09/06/2023 21:28

Chinese is the best.

hartof · 09/06/2023 21:30

I think kebabs have gone so expensive! For the past 6 months I've been doing my own just marinate chicken thighs in yoghurt and Alice's over night, stick them in skewers and put them in the air fryer. Get flatbreads from Tesco and the McCain skin on fries. It's our fave tea and less than £10 as the chips will last til the next time and there will be 2 left over flatbreads.

Yes that is probably true but I can make my own version of this too easily at home to bother - Chinese is a bit harder to master!

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 09/06/2023 21:32

It REALLY depends on whether you have a good takeaway nearby. I moved 3 years ago and there is a kebab shop here that is the absolute business.

I would never have thought Ooo I'll get a Kebab tonight before finding this place.

Chinese first, Indian second

My nearest proper Turkish and Lebanese restaurant is also amazing but it's in the city. They don't deliver this far out

OutdoorPillow · 09/06/2023 21:33

My local Indian does an amazing sheek lamb kebab. Minced lamb with onion and herbs rolled into little sausages and cooked over charcoal, drizzled in garlic and chili sauces, then wrapped up in a plain naan with some lettuce.

God tier.

illiterato · 09/06/2023 21:36

Chicken shish and chips from the West Hampstead grill on the bridge. Red cabbage, chili sauce, garlic sauce. Oh yes!! Best thing I’ve ever eaten. Not even joking. Think they still cooked their chips in tallow. They were sublime.

hilbil21 · 09/06/2023 21:40

Donner kebab meat pizza is elite.

SirenSays · 09/06/2023 21:53

Donner meat grosses me out after a friend described it as eyebrows and arseholes.
I'm always iffy about ordering lamb after I watched a documentary where they dna tested loads of takeaways and none that said they were lamb actually were.

NorthWestThree · 09/06/2023 21:54

Bloody love a kebab

TheMurderousGoose · 09/06/2023 21:55

YABU.

donner meat is so absolutely revolting. it's up there with those jars of pickled eggs on chip shop counters.

I quite like a chicken or lamb gyros.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 09/06/2023 21:56

I am also very averse to the look of Donnor, and I think eyebrows and arseholes is a great description

I have never eaten Donnor meat. I always get chicken

TheMurderousGoose · 09/06/2023 21:56

Thai is the best takeaway though.

every fule knos that.

FindingTheFox · 09/06/2023 22:01

Nope. Indian is the best takeaway hands down.

Florissante · 09/06/2023 22:18

Turkish / Greek / Lebanese / sushi rules. Anyone who disagrees can meet me in the parking lot after class.
