    Ive had a couple of brews, and I feel like a silly food poll.

    So what do you like to eat?

    Pizza for me, but only just. Love a tikka massala as well, and fish and chips are also very good, especially with liberal amounts of salt, vinegar and beans :D

    Kebabs are alright, dont normally bother though because they come with loads of minging salad, and chinese food is just totally minging IMO.

    ****etty **** can't eat any of that - maybe some chicken tikka but it's likely to have sugar in it.
    i'm currently going through a thai style curry stage - very watery sauce - thickened with unsweetened dessicated coconut along with low carb veggies (onions, broccoli, courgette, turnip, mange tout and chilli) bit of thai curry powder a chicken (or fish if i'm using prawns or tuna steak) stock cube and half a mug of water. fry up the onions and chilli, then bung in the chicken, sprinkle on the curry powder and bung in the veggies and coconut. pour in the water and add the stock cube and leave to simmer on a low heat for 1/2 an hour. remove all the veggies and meat and reduce the liquid by 3/4 then por over and eat it. mmmmmmmm. i'm getting quite good at this cooking lark now.
    cheers

    got to be fish and chips if given the choice, get a bit fed up with indians/chinese after a few, they all end up being similar, I never tire of a chippy, cos. we have a fab one around here.

    I like all of them but if I had to be restricted to just one, I think it would have to be Indian.

    Julian's Thai concoction sounds good. I have a Thai mate who is an excellent cook and we always have Thai food whenever I visit as he doesn't like English food much.

    Indian by a country mile, the rest are all good apart from Kebabs (only ever had 1 good kebab, and that was from a proper turkish restaurant in Augsburg in Germany rather than your usual 's*** in a tray' merchants).

    I could live on Indian food quite comfortably, used to eat loads of it as well as where I lived in Wolverhampton mean there were loads of Indian food shops as well as restaurants, I could walk down the road and get 5 samosas for a pound, and they're the best samosas I've ever had! Here in Wales its not quite as good :( but I've scouted out a decent place already so I'll get by :SLEEP:

    Has to be Indian food. Luckily there are two excellent restaurants near where I live and both offer takeaway. In fact, they're both so good the deciding factor in which one I use is that one delivers rather than me having to walk 500yards to collect. Yes, that lazy :D

    Mexican food comes a distant second, everything else after that is 'OK' and nothing more.

    What I want to know from all these Indian food lovers is does your favourite indian dish happen to be chicken tikka massala? If it is, then one could argue its actually not an indian dish ;)

    Well my favourite, now I'm sure its not 'authentic', would be Chicken Jalfrezi or Madras, Pilau Rice, and a Peshwari naan, with either vegatable samosa or sheek kebab for starter, and with a side order of Aloo Saag.

    I feel hungry now :(

    Indian for me, although we've all just polished off a very nice fish supper each tonight.
    I do think though that idf you live in an area where there are lots of Take Aways in a small area the quality goes up as the shitty ones soon get filtered out. I 've aloso found that The quality definately goes up if the Resteraunt is in a more affluent part of town. For common poor people like me this often means a car journey to pick up :)

    Paul, most of the Indian food you get in an Indian restaurant in the UK isn't authentic Indian food. Try finding most of the dishes available in your local curry house anywhere in India and you'll have a hard time (obviously I'm not talking about tourist restaurants here).

    Indian, purely because it seems to be a lot easier to find a good Indian takeaway than a chip shop, especially near where I live in Exeter. We've got 4 Indian restaurants/takeaways, 2 Chinese takeaways, 1 kebab shop, an Italian and that's all over a distance of about 150 yards of road, oh, and 4 pubs as well!
