Takeaways.

We have a Bangladeshi take away down the road that has Le Routier approval. The food is great and is cooked as you wait so you watch which ever chef is on duty putting your food together. They deliver as well and the food isn't over priced, portions are huge. We have food from there about once a month.
I only eat meat free when away from home or ordering from the take away. The veggie dishes from the Bangladeshi take away are excellent.

I would like to sing the praises of a certain well known pizza takeaway in Newquay. On our last little breakaway, my late DH had a GF pizza several lunchtimes. All prepared in a special prep area, on gf base, new pack of mushrooms and cheese, clean ladle for sauce, and once baked, cut with a clean cutting wheel. Excellent service.

As a rule we don't eat takeaways although recently we had fish and chips for the second time since we moved here two years ago. I understand that there is a very good Thai takeaway within easy walking distance of our house, but Mr absent has become increasingly conventional and traditional about what he wants to eat as he has got older – he's only 62 but sometimes behaves as if he is 82 – so we don't use that. I like to make my own pizzas but if there are four or five grandchildren here, there is insufficient room in the tiny oven in my tiny kitchen to do that, so I tend to buy ready-made or takeaways for them – but only once in a while. I can't remember when I last bought an Indian or Chinese takeaway. I never buy MacDonalds, Burger King or other burger takeaways as I don't like them. We do occasionally take ourselves to the local pub/restaurant which serves very tasty meals cooked in their own kitchen. It is quite nice to have the occasional evening when I don't have to be creative with a mushroom.

I too have to have gf rascal and agree that it is not easy to find takeaways that one can be sure of! Our local Indian takeaway is very good though so that is our easy meal of choice and we probably have one a month.

Most of the big pizza chains now have a gf option and the small pizza takeaway in our village used to do one too but stopped 'as there was no call for it'. Baffles me that they couldn't keep a few in the freezer.

Fish and chips is a no go area because the chips are cooked in the same fat as the battered fish etc. A fish and chip shop in town has a gluten free day one Sunday per month but fish and chips on Sunday offends my Mrs Bucket sensibilities!

I haven't dared risk a Chinese takeaway!

I can never have a takeaway unless there are gluten free ones and they seem to be like hens teeth! I am not large in fact I say I'm quality not quantity!

Now and again I'll have an Indian take-away - although I've never had one delivered. My nearest restaurant now uses transparent plastic containers with press-on lids - I wash them after use and they make great fridge boxes!

I must agree about the size of portions as one gets older - the last fish and chips I bought lasted two days, and there was still almost half left to be thrown away.

I have fish and chips about once a fortnight.

We very occasionally have a Chinese takeaway.

We go out to eat about two or three times a week. My husband is a vegetarian and I am a non-meat eater and we have over the years found a few places that we like and which are quite reasonable.

I have never ordered a takeaway in my life, and I can't imagine why anyone would choose to eat a slice of pizza as their evening meal!

We have a Chinese every couple of months or so. I have only ever had take away pizza on a couple of occasions but that was ordered by DD' s ex when we were at theirs.

We can go for years with perhaps one lot of fish and chips a year. This year however DBH has discovered the delights of a very good local Chinese takeaway - it really is excellent, and very fresh and healthy. He is a healthy food freak, so has always been sniffy about takeaways, which I miss, so I am not discouraging him!

The portions however are large, so we halve them and eat the remainder another day. Even so, we have only used them four times over the past year.

I have fish and chips maybe once every few months. I have had the odd Indian or Chinese takeaway years ago but I did not like the food. I have neighbours who appear to live on pizzas. I have never had a takeaway pizza in my life.

Now and again we order a takeaway from our local Indian restaurant - maybe once a month or so. However, as greedy as I am, I'm finding I can't eat it all these days. DH usually polishes off what's left, the next day, though!

I haven't had a takeaway - other than fish and chips occasionally - for years. I love Chinese and Indian food, but DH does not, so although he wouldn't mind if I ordered a take away, I haven't, despite being bombarded with very tempting leaflets, for every kind of takeaway imaginable, which pile up on our doormat. One day, one day.....!

We haven't had a Chinese takeaway since the poor girl, who hardly spoke a word of English, got lost on one of the farm roads in a thunderstorm and I had to go and find her. She was two miles off course and heading in the wrong direction! She was so frightened I escorted her back to the restaurant so she didn't get lost again. The food was stone cold by the time I made it back home nearly an hour later!!

Great birthday treat.... It was so thoughtful of DH to suggest I have a night off cooking

No we might have fish and chips once a month and a chinese about 2/3 times a year.. but I know some friends and family members eat takeaway more than once or twice a WEEK!!! and yes they are mostly overweight but I'm sure they don't see a connection.
