Pizza is the only takeaway I never eat. In my life I think I’ve had one 3 times, two of those from an independent real one.
Supermarket pizza’s for £1.50 taste exactly the same (without the oil and student sweat in the dough).
Curries from a supermarket are nothing like takeaway. You can also get Michelin Star Indian delivered anywhere in the country.

We tried Caprinos over the weekend and it was probably the best takeaway pizza I've had. Caprinos is decent. Their ninja turtle sized one is actually comparatively decent VFM. You actually get more pizza on one of their 18"ers than 2x 12" dominos, maths fans. |

How do you make clearly good food look like shit? Is there a toxic cloud that follows you around or something?

The same as a mediocre pizza from Pizza Hut etc that costs £15.
If not the same, close enough.

Cheap supermarket pizzas are fucking grim, but still better than dominos (which isn't hard!)
Some of the fancier fresh supermarket pizzas can be OK, but still not on a par with a proper wood fired pizza.

Not really sure you can make that judgement after trying it 3 times in your life.
And I had a week in Tuscany not long ago and the pizzas were great. But no different to any decent Italian restaurant in this country.

On takeaways I've found supermarket versions are on a par or better than a lot of the locals. Specifically pizzas and curries. For curries are you talking about microwave meals? Because if so fuck me at the state of your locals. |

Because we have a fussy quasi-vegan, we have started rolling our own recently. Dough isnt very much and its not hard to scare up some toppings.

There's something broken in my brain that if I have a hangover I crave Dominos. I know they're shit. I know supermarket pizzas are probably better. I know I'll feel ill after eating it.
But I will always order one.

Yeah if I'm absolutely ill I'll get a craving for a big Mac. I think it's because I associate them with the that feeling of shame and fear you feel when you were black out drunk the night before.

Because if so fuck me at the state of your locals. I live in West London so theres no shortage of Indian restaurants. Most of them are pretty average. The Charlie Bighams curry you put in the oven is probably better than most of the locals. |

Yeah, it's not a patch on a proper one but we alternate between Tesco own wood fired thingy and pizza express ones and they're fine. Literally, just fine but that's ok. We've also taken to using wraps as a base and making our own. Works very well indeed. |

In a thread about the cost of living it seems strange to be talking about takeaways. Anyway the Mrs does homemade pizza with wholemeal flour as my stomach can't handle much white flour.
She won't make an Hawaiian pizza though unfortunately saying fruit doesn't belong on a pizza...meh I like it!

Same with me and McDonalds. Its almost like someone implanted a hypnotic suggestion while I was pissed. Once every 5 years or so I get convinced to try a McDonald's. Every time I find it unbelievebly awful. I genuinely don't get how it is still a viable company with the shit it serves, let alone being the behemoth it is. Burger King I can tolerate if I have to, but McDonald's I would rather starve. |

Now we're no longer under the tyranny of the EU we can recategorize tomatoes as veg. It's shocking having to find them among the apples and pears in the supermarket. Brings tears to my eyes.

Burger King I can tolerate if I have to, but McDonald's I would rather starve. I had a cheeseburger from McDonalds last week for the first time in many years, I was starving, wanted something small to tide me over and I had recently about how much they've improved in recent years. It impressed me just how little taste there was, you could taste salt and sweetness from the ketchup but otherwise nothing, no taste of meat, nor bread, it's impressively bad. It's warm and soft and easy to eat, is that the appeal. |

It's easier to enjoy fast food when you put aside food wankery. I enjoy a butter basted wagyu or a veal ragu as much as the next pretentious twat, but it's pretty easy to accept that sometimes char-flavored fat and salt that's just there without effort can hit a certain spot.

Pointless fact: Gordon Ramsay is on record as saying his last meal would be an In n Out Animal Style Double Double.

Also pointless fact: We have an In n Out opening about three miles from my house in 2023. This will also probably coincide with my first necessary bypass surgery.
