Missus always gets a bento box when we go the Japanese it changes daily fucking crackerThis is a classic Japanese 'take-away'.
It's called 'Bento' which means 'lunch box' (kind of). It's rice, of course, fish and pickled vegetables. That battered thing on the right is called 'ebi fry', which is usually a prawn or the like. That pink round thing above the ebi fry is called 'kamaboko' and is a sort of fish paste made into a rubbery texture. Underneath that, the yellowy orange thing, is 'tamagoyaki', which is like an omelette.
I don't eat these by the way, well I don't eat fish but, like I said, this is a classic Japanese take away. For me, I usually have something called; 'tonkatsu'
It's pork in batter I guess, with rice, ginger and bamboo.
I expect a lot of us remember the olden days when the only curry you could get was that Vesta shit or chicken curry and chips from the chinky (yeah I know, that's not allowed these days but I don't mean it in a racist way it's just what we used ti call them). When the first Chinese takeaway opened where I lived we thought it was right sophisticated to eat their international cuisine, curry and chips was a new experience! The 'curry' was just some nasty, slimy gravy with curry powder in it but we loved it!
Bring back wimpy bar with square burgers,square fish burgers,strangely slit sausages and knickerbockerglory !!Thats why I would vote UKIP every day of the I am on acid and stoned off my tits.
Yes! The Wimpy bar and the Benders! Bender-Burgers were those slit sausages I think?? That was the second sophisticated eatery that opened up locally when I was a kid! This is a real nostalgia thread and no mistake governor! I remember when acid was half a crown and you could leave your door unlocked without fear of anyone nicking anything - probably because you had fuck all to nick!
LOL dito... a Chinese Cury is fucking ledge. With special fried rice and chips...!!!
Get a shish.... Proper meat not the carvings of an elephant leg that's been rotting in the corner for a month.Never had a kebab. Yes really.
I have bought one once on my way back from an evening match ironically from WHL. I opened the lid picked it up and the oil literally dripped out of the soggy bread and into the box. The smell of the rancid oil kicked in and I just left the box on the counter and walked out.
One thing that is annoying me is the fact that KFC over here (Orlando) is completely different. They don't do burgers!!! WTF ! I love the UK Zinger burger, one of my faves, but the fact they don't even do any burgers at all is just weird. No chips either.
I do love fish and chips as well, tough thing to find in North London these days.
What about the double down ?? Fuck buns I'd eat that all day lolNever had a kebab. Yes really.

That sounds delish to me, a proper kebab! Some folks like extra virgin olive oil as a dressing but the correct oil to accompany a kebab is of course extra rancid oil, loverly! I used to love kebabs when I was alive, not so much the next morning, waking up with a murderous hangover, a taste like you'd smoked 3 packets of ciggies, which I had, and then licked the ashtray. Then you try and get up from the sofa only to find you have been glued to it by half an uneaten kebab oozing oil, extra rancid of course, and extra chilli sauce all over the place.
I need an address,....
16 and a half p for a bender, that's a top, top bargain for such a meaty frankfurter! I liked the sophistication of a Romboults filter coffee, mind you 11p was a lot of money back then, you could buy 5 Park Drive ciggies for that! Is this around 1972? I reckon it is. This REALLY takes me back to the olden days! Brilliant.lol
Only the prices have changed!!
lol
Only the prices have changed!!
It was the replacement for the old penny mate, the bastrad feds could not take our penny away could they? The 1 new p was 2 old d, and back in those days that was a lot of money. I think there were fears that all the prices would be rounded up so they brought in that little tiddler.
The new pound coin is going to be a bit like the old thrupny bit I think, my favourite as well, although I quite liked a sixpence - we used to put them in Christmas puddings, a modern 5p or 10p is not the same thing at all these days...... Everything seemed much bigger back in the day.......half a crown was huge, the old blue £5 note enormous and worth a fortune, Waggon wheels and cadbury's creme eggs, bigger than a big thing.
You've been growing on me.....I thought this would make you guys laugh. I paid.... wait for it.....$10 for a chicken and mushroom pie
Wasn't even that good as well. I'm going to spend Sunday now making pies!
