Indian lager goes tremendously with Indian food.

Ice cold Kingfisher is hard to beat.

Nice attempt to divert attention from the, erm, joke there.

I'm really begining to hate chinese takaway. I doubt they are really authentic and the dry taste it leaves afterwards make me feel ill.

That's the huge quantities of salt and MSG.

Indian food can also have a lot of salt in it but you're fine as long as you drink plenty of water. Chinese takeaway food really makes me thirsty though, much more so than Indian food - probably accounts for the almost guaranteed headache the next day.

Me neither. Indian takeaways rarely are, or at least are nothing like the curries my friend's Indian Mum cooks

I've never noticed huge amounts of salt in either our chinese or indian takeaways and I'm usually very sensitive to it as I don't put salt in any of my cooking. Can't stand the stuff as it makes me so thirsty so quickly, but I've not noticed it there. Maybe I'm lucky with ours

Both are great, but it's much easier finding a nice indian.
the state of takeaways in Bristol is appalling. I'm amazed how 80% of them stay in business. I just can't believe people go back there.

even fish & chip and kebbab shops are rubbish. how hard is it to cook some marinaded meat chunks on a grill with out burning it to hell and serve in a pitta with fresh salad.
Or cook fish without drying it out and making batter that is chrunchy.

Also why the hell do chip shops use vegetable oil. It has no taste. Chips should be done in dripping..

restaurants in the uk appear to be improving and yet the humble takeaway that we used to be great at, has totally gone down the pan.
