That is too full a plate, looking at it makes me uncomfortable. ^^^ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hk blues Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 To be honest, if it's a single-dish takeaway then I see no issue with a host plating it up. That said, if it's a multi-dish takeaway then they should be left in their containers and people can help themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinosaurs and smiley faces are, irrespective of nutrition, both excellent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to order from Hung Fung on ferry road which was the best one I’ve had in Edinburgh. You are clearly correct here, a big mix of all dishes and sides on one plate is a disgrace. I’ve yet to find an acceptable Chinese in Edinburgh, and have all but given up looking tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I’m completely with Throbber here. The last two Christmas Eves we have went to my girlfriend’s aunt for dinner, tradition really. Get asked what we want from the Chinese, typically I go for chow mein or chicken fried rice. We are then expected to share our meals, taking a small portion of what we specifically ordered, and then take small bits from other people’s dishes. Absolute madness when you get some folk ordering a mushroom goo yung that I would obviously not touch because it is barking. Does my head in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florentine_Pogen Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 You wonder if throbber ever freezes in his tracks thinking about all the food he ate churning about together in his stomach?Or if he ever wonders about the enzyme magic in his gut that transforms his Chinese input into mince n' tatties output ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heedthebaa Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Anyone that sits on their arse whilst a Chinese is being divvied up in the next room is a lazy idle twat, regardless of who’s house It’s in. I’m all over it to make sure I get what I ordered and to make sure no one dips into it 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Throbber reminds me of a certain popular comic character Spoiler "Blinkin' flip woman, the sauce is spilling into the other sauce on the plate.

invergowrie arab Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 18 hours ago, throbber said: Staying at the mother in laws which is always annoying as f**k even at best of times but today we decided to order a set Chinese meal for 4. It arrived and the MiL took it into the kitchen, I had been waiting for the inevitable call to the kitchen for us all to plate up but to my horror her and her partner walked in the room with my dinner that they had plated up for me without even asking me. I am quite fussy with what I want on my plate, I don’t like my plate to be full and I certainly don’t like curry sauces all over my rice and chips. I am truly devastated that they did this - surely this sort of thing is not normal? You would be better off keeping yourself to yourself 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoseKillie Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Fair cop gov. My Comment is in jest however. I'm actually surprised no one had accused you of making it up yet.

Chinese is for sharing. People that think their choice is their "own" meal generally have few social skills and poor personal hygeine.

Every time I have ever had a takeaway with guests I have opened the food containers and got some cutlery and plates out and told everyone to dig in, I have never ever seen antics like last night before and have no idea why it happened. Then it was deliberate and totally uncalled for, they need called out on this, a family meeting, telts dished out and If it means an early exit from their home so be it.
