Erm, I wouldn't be so sure.

Then it looks like you live in an area with poor takeaway restaurants.

Nowadays, ready meals can be kept on the supermarket shelves for up to a year.

I'd hope that the takeaway restaurants were cooking their meals on the day, albeit perhaps with sauces prepared several days beforehand.

If you like chinese curry then Mayflower curry sauce doesn't disappoint and you can make it at home

I'd wager those 'long-life' meals aren't what MH was referring to. I didn't even know you could buy ready meals kept on supermarket shelves rather than in fridges.

I find take aways are better from restaurants rather than stand alone take away places. You pay a bit more but the food tends to be much better.

We have a very good Indian restaurant near us and they offer 15% off for take aways, they’re always busy with both orders and people eating in.

You are correct, I only buy the curries and Chinese meals from the fridge that usually have around 5 days fridge life (they are around £3.50-£4 each).

Or the Goldfish Chinese Curry sauce concentrate.

MH make a curry at home, fry ginger, garlic, a couple of spoons of curry powder, salt and chicken and add a bottle of curry sauce, Balti or Dopiaza curry sauce. Add a few spoons of tomato purée and simmer, add a bit of water if it’s too thick or cornflour if it’s too watery and simmer for 20 mins, you can buy pilau rice or boil it at home. It’s so easy. It’s not a authentic curry but it tastes good

Thank you, but I will stick to the ones I buy because I have a lot on my plate at the moment.

MH stop being SAD, Mrs MH will love you for it! Dim the lights and light a few candles and put on a bit of Sade in the background.
