Title: Advice please, Opti
Post by: The Sheriff on 02 May 2015, 17:12:12
I am about to ring the local Chinese to order a meal each for myself and my wife. Do you think this is far too extravagant? Should I go to ASDA, buy the ingredients and cook it myself? I may save 50p or so.
Or should I just give her bread and butter and a cup of tea?

Ah...this is an easy one.

A couple of dead dogs and (any other assorted roadkill ) mixed with the perfectly edible vegetables which get thrown out by the supermarkets each day.

Far more tasty and an authentic taste of the real China. :y

I hope this helps.
