WOW!!!! 7 pages in and not one wanker has come in saying

"I don't eat takeaway food" or "My food is better and I'm healthy blah blah blah"

Gotta be a new record for Boards.

100% nocebo effect. MSG is not in any way harmful.

Cheese, bacon and taco fries.

Batter burger, rissole and chips with a side of curry sauce.

Kilmore Quay fresh cod and chips as ye sit on the harbour wall batin the seagulls away with your spare hand.

Failing that the ultimate hangover cure, a munchie box from the Chinese.

I recognise people outside of Wexico may not recognise some of the above!

For pizza, Base

For a kebab, Zaytoon

For a burger, Bunsen

And I love an Indian takeaway

Eh... classic Italian carbonara is mostly cream. With ham, cheddar cheese, mushrooms, sweetcorn, peas etc... :rolleyes:

Nope. Carbonara is egg, grated Parmesan, pasta water and cooked lardons.

Easy and delicious - no cream needed.

It's even more delicious if you add some cream. Fresh cream is obviously the best but a dash of Heinz salad cream works fine in a pinch. Some peas and grated carrot is nice too and counts towards your five a day.

Agree with the above, I'd even go as far as using mayonnaise if I had no fresh cream or salad cream. I wouldn't use parmesan either, I'd go for feta to add salty goodness.

^This. Porklife has forgotten more than most posters will ever know about porcine-based pasta dishes.

I’m anyone’s for proper chipper fish and chips, sea salt added at home and a decent malt vinegar likewise!

accensi0n · 11-01-2021 12:34am

5 McDonalds double cheeseburgers.

pappyodaniel · 11-01-2021 1:56am

When I'm in San Andreas i hit up Cluckin Bell for a drive through. Usually get Two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.

I love fish and chips but first bone and the whole fish is in the bin so it’s too risky a buy.

Optimalprimerib · 11-01-2021 6:59am

Lamb metha curry from the local indian is my absolute favorite.

Chicken balls, 3 in 1 and spare ribs is my lack of imagination guilty pleasure.

I also enjoy an eddie rockets cheese please with bacon and cheese fries when we could dine in. Takeaway from there is awful.

For pizza, yummy pizza in mulhuddart is great and I learned the best way to reheat day old pizza. Heat the base in a frying pan for a minute or two and then pop it under a grill for the cheese to melt.

Chipper chips for me have disimproved horribly over the years. Greasy, soggy and grey. I was told that it is probably because they do not travel well and need to be eaten immediately after buying, not from a delivery or after a drive home steaming the goodness away in a paper bag.

Isn’t Bunsen just there because it’s cool to be seen in the queue?

I don’t really like the Chinese food you get in takeaways in Ireland. It is far too sweet and greasy. No idea what actual Chinese food is like (I’m sure there are many regional variations in such a large country).

Nothing like it whatsoever, only dishes here (China) that are similar to the takeaway stuff at home would be, off the top of my head, sweet and sour pork/chicken and I guess fried rice/noodles. Peking duck as well, they probably just make it little differently here.

My go-to when I'm home is taco chips, a good kebab or a snack box.

Here it's probably KFC.

Chips and curry with a quarter pounder every Saturday night. Heaven.

I'm very partial to traditional chips from a chipper but there's none nearby so it's a treat every now and again when I get home to the parents.

Which is best for an authentic carbonara though? Regular cream, salad cream or mayonnaise? Also what sort of sliced ham is best? Denny or Bradys?

Also which veg is more suitable? I use potato, turnip, carrots and peas.

There is no cream in a carbonara. The fat emulsifies with some starchy water from the pasta to create a creamy sauce.

Lingi's Mama's Pasta & Papa's Pizza.

The pizza out of there was on another level. No fancy wood oven or anything but whatever they done with them just works. Closed down now.

In my carbonara it's a good squirt of all those cream options. Then I f'ck it in the bin for a couple of hours to really bring out the flavour of the Brady sliced ham and boiled carrots.

A huge chicken fillet wrap and a can of coke from Aarrons take away near Clonmel. Tasty, good value and filling.
