    AH pilgrims, I suppose Im looking for this thread to make me feel less guilty of being a gluttonous pig and ordering a takaway for the second time this week ;)

    I should have added "how much do you weigh?" choices beside certain poll options :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,034 ✭✭✭mad muffin


    Maybe once a month or two.

    I'm trying not to have one this year. Have made it as far as May...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,623 ✭✭✭✭My name is URL


    Don't think I've done so since before the new year.. kinda fancy one now though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,244 ✭✭✭dee_mc


    Almost never, partly because my nearest takeaway is a bit far. Would have the odd ready meal though, maybe once a month max, when anything more than sticking a fork in some cellophane and opening the microwave is just too much effort :)

    To the ones who clicked on "Never!" ...

    Whhhhyyyy??! ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,801 ✭✭✭Corvo


    About once every six months (usually Thai) - greasy "Chinese" food aka rubber chicken in a black/brown/Amber sludge makes me lose my appetite and I make my own curries which I prefer to any take away.

    I can't even stomach dominoes anymore

    As a matter of fact, just having some Chinese take away. Special fried rice and salt & pepper chicken. Mmmmmm :D

    What I meant to say, to the ones who clicked on "Never!" ...


    HOWWWW??!

    I get a craving for ****ty takeaway or pizza or kebab or something every now and then, usually if drunk or hungover but my past life means I have the ability to cook better st home and usually in a shorter time than a delivery would take so besides the odd kebab while steaming I'd say I eat take away once or twice per year.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 108 ✭✭BearBanjer


    Used to be onc or twice a week. Eating much better nowadays and you cook things that are a lot nicer and healthier than the junk you get in most takeaways. They're a rip off too.

    Love a bit of Japanese (eating out) or some pizza (delivery) every now and then though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,459 ✭✭✭LizzieJones


    I have poutine a couple of times a week and a chinese dinner (fried rice, steamed broccoli and orange chicken) a couple of times a week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43,038 ✭✭✭✭SEPT 23 1989


    Indian take away is not junk food


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,925 ✭✭✭✭anncoates


    About once a fortnight. Never pizza, just Chinese, Thai or Indian.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,971 ✭✭✭Holsten


    Once a month probably.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 763 ✭✭✭John Cherry


    Just after ordering a pizza there now. It's my first takeaway of the year.

    I would usually have one every three months depending on the circumstances.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,057 ✭✭✭WesternZulu


    Never, too expensive most of the time and by the time you sit down and eat it you'd have made something nicer yourself.

    If I am paying to eat I'd rather get something better than a takeaway.

    30 years after my first sweet and sour chicken balls from the Vietnamese guy in Sutton, I discovered the joys of chow mein this week!

    I remember my very first Chinese take away, West Belfast, c1986, steak and chips.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,145 ✭✭✭LETHAL LADY


    There is a lovely Indian takeaway near us so I'd have one about once every fortnight. I rarely eat chipper food but it is lovely to have a piping hot salty bag of chips at the seaside so I'll indulge now the weather is improving. As for Chinese food it makes me want to puke so never.


  • Posts: 6,691 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I'd say maybe 3 or 4 times in my life :o

    Since moving into this house I'm in now we have ordered a take-away once. I just don't really like fast food. If I'm home anyway I'd be able to cook nicer food myself. And we never ordered take-aways growing up. The Mother is a chef...and wouldn't allow that sort of thing!

    I didn't really realise how often people ordered take-aways until they started talking about it at work recently. Some people order them up to 3 times a week :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,933 ✭✭✭Wossack


    every bank holiday - tis tradition at this stage..!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43,038 ✭✭✭✭SEPT 23 1989


    chinese take away if the lowest of the low in this country

    pure slop


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,699 ✭✭✭The Pheasant2


    Never get chipper, would get indian/Thai/pizza semi often though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,061 ✭✭✭✭Charlie19


    Two spice bags a week (have to stop) and I'd probably get smoked cod chips every now and then.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,280 ✭✭✭Davarus Walrus


    I ordered an Indian from Bombay Pantry about a month ago. Based on all the overwhelmingly positive reviews I'd heard about the place. If soggy starters, main courses with loads of gee and very little meat, and a load of regretful slop is your thing; then I'd recommend you check it out.

    Going DIY from now on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,160 ✭✭✭✭HugsiePie


    Never at home but at college Ive ordered 2 this year

    I'm a "never" head. I never got into it for some reason and I never got the appeal. Dunno why.
