Do you think your Chinese food would taste better if...

john the one

it came in cardboard takeaway cartons like the states?

Im a sucker for subliminal advertising and the likes, see a beer in someones hand on screen, want a beer.

See noodles from a cardboard carton, want noodles from a cardboard carton

A sucker i tell ye

debabyjesus

Plastic lunchbox type things are where it's at.

john the one

Plastic lunch box things are kips! good for nothing, break after its second use and do not look appealing whatsoever horse

Ihatecuddles

One near me does, cant remember which one though!

If they just offered horsemeat as an additional item on the menu I'd buy it just to try something different. They are shooting themselves in the foot by trying to pass it off as beef

Chinese food would taste better if it was Japanese food

Camile Thai use those cardboard tubs. Their food is gorgeous but I doubt it's because of what the food comes in!

Really good, they have a €10 deal, starter and main course and rice or chips I think. I get it whenever I get Chinese.

Imagine how you would feed if you had 12 pints of Guinness on top of that :eek:

real Chinese food ain't what you get here!!!

the meal above was introduced with corn of the cob straight off the field, the meat is wild boar, I had 14 Yellow Wines with it, its fcukin amazing!!! The sh1t here is like bisto, onion and road kill!!!

yes the cups are plastic..... the food was served in a hamlet off a mud path through jungle (a Hamlet on Wu Long Shan (Five Dragon PeaK) Wudang Shan, Hebei Provence) (wide enough for at times maybe 2 people), getting there involved walking along a cliff with less than a foot of "path", and jumping from rock to rock over a waterfall in a jungle falling over 100ft onto rocks if you messed up. (Part of "secret" China, only got in via some Communist Official accompaniment)

not a wine glass in sight, how uncivilised

Very little rice in a real Chinese meal, not plateloads like takeaways here give.

Kanoodle and Diep at Home use the cardboard boxes too.

ElleEm

Kanoodle do those cardboardy boxes. Their food is average but, like the OP, I love the packaging. I draw the line at chopsticks though... they make me eat way too slow!

Sir Arthur Daley

I uses the chopsticks as firelighters very handy altogether.
