That is quite a bit

Last time for the Chinese, it was Chicken Chow Mein, Chicken in Garlic Sauce, two lots of Egg Fried Rice, two lots of chips and vegetable spring rolls.
The Indian I can't remember the name of one dish but it was Chicken Korma, another creamy curry, two lots of pilau rice, garlic naan, two lots of chips and onion bahjis.

That lasted two meals for two of us easily

I apologise for the chips, I know I shouldn't really

However if it makes the snobs(

) feel better, I never ever have chips when making a curry from scratch

And yes making a curry from scratch does taste much nicer but it involves effort which isn't happening tonight

I do fancy something different tonight so have to try a different dish whatever I go for I think. It is a little inconvenient I only like chicken and duck, narrows the options!

RESULT !!!

My curry has just arrived and the guy even had a free bottle of wine for us as it's their first aniversary

We pay just £13.50, delivered, for a vegetarian banquet which is absolutely amazing for the price:

2x pilau rice
1x mushroom bhaji
1x bombay potato
1x vegetable tikka masala
1x vegetable rogan josh (with extra chilli)
poppadums and pickle
1x garlic naan

It's a fair cop gov. I have no doubt ours is laced with MSG but then again I think I'd actually have to pay for delivery if I went the Indian route.

I'd like to know a bit more about MSG use in Chinese food as I know nothing other than 'it happens'. Not suitable for this thread though.

And that Indian sounds nomtastic. I'm now hungry. Damn you.

Sounds absolutely fantastic to me! Tempted to go for a vegetarian dish tonight. Indian food is certainly good for vegetarian options from what I've seen

I'm hungry now, shouldn't have started this thread yet as I'm not ordering for an hour or two

Chinese!!! I could eat chinese every night

Only had 1 indian takeaway from around here, can't remember which one it was (there are bloody hundreds) and it wasn't particularly brilliant anyway so if I have another one it could prove an interesting gamble :/ I do enjoy a good indian but usually the only time I have it is ready meals ala tesco or when we've gone to one at a meet.

Chinese is my fave, but I'll eat an Indian if I have to.

Ahh the good old infamous 'I'll shoot you and all your loved ones UNLESS you eat this curry' situation

I reckon it's going to be an Indian for me tonight. Once I've decided what I'm having, I'll post the selection to bore you/make you annoyingly hungry

Thank you internet for solving my uber difficult dilemma

One of mine and Aitches favorites although you rarely see it

Our local indian is very very good, not one of those shoddy counter places that look like a minicab office but a really nice place with a very modern menu, particularly like the lamb shank and the crab cakes
