    I have nothing in the fridge and can't be arsed to cook tonight, but I also don't want to eat utter shite, so I googled the words 'healthier takeaways' to try and rustle up an idea. By doing so I discovered this absolutely marvellous page on the NHS: https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/eat-wel...ier-takeaways/

    It's a gold mine in general, but my favourite is this.

    Kebab and burgers

    Doner kebabs can be high in fat. For a healthier option, go for a shish kebab, which is a skewer with whole cuts of meat or fish and is usually grilled.

    If you're having a burger, avoid breaded or battered chicken or fish patties, extra cheese, bacon strips and high-fat sauces such as mayonnaise. Instead, go for a regular, single-patty hamburger without mayonnaise or cheese and have with extra salad.

    Try to avoid: large doner kebab with mayonnaise and no salad, burgers with cheese and mayonnaise, thin-cut chips, chicken or fish patties deep-fried in batter.

    Healthier options: shish kebab with pitta bread and salad, grilled burgers made from lean fish or meat (beef or whole chicken breast) and without cheese and mayonnaise.

    The usuals, although down here there is less of the Chinese chips/curry sort of setups I hear about up north and more moody south Asian burger/kebab outlets.

    I'll probably get Lebanese.

    I'm too far outside Glasgow to get anything more unusual like Lebanese though we do have a Greek one (from a Greek restaurant, not just a kebab-type place.)

    Moving to the sticks has really limited our options. Nowhere decent delivers here. There's a Chinese, Indian and Chip Shop in the next village, but only the Chippy is any good. I have to drive for 20 minutes to get a kebab.

    There's a banging kebab place near me that does chicken shish and roasted veg on a bed of rice with fresh salad. The home made chilli sauce is decent as well. That's my usual go to if I want to avoid anything too greasy and unhealthy.

    Inspired by Jim, I’m getting takeout from a Lebanese-Armenian place tonight. Beef kebab smothered in a spicy tomato sauce, rice, salad, hummus, and garlic sauce. It’s brilliant.

    You're a proper enigma when it comes to food. On the one hand you'll prep amazing curries from scratch, spending hours cooking your onions down until they're just right. On the other, you think spaghetti is too posh, pancakes should be plain and eat cocktail sausages and brown sauce in a wrap.

    Again with the spaghetti, again wrong.

    Though, have you never had a wrap full of cocktail sausages and brown sauce? I’m going to put in some black pudding too and cheese. I love cooking, made the most epic beef chilli the other day from dried passillas and anchos with beef that was reared in the field beside me, but there’s always a time for good old fashioned dirt.

    I like spaghetti too, I just object to people saying that some dishes can’t be eaten with other shapes of pasta, just because you SIMPLY MUST have spaghetti with ‘insert dish here’.

    Actually it’s just part of a wider thing, that seems to be hugely prominent in food, that you have to have something a certain way because some people have decided that’s the right way and the only way (Hi Luca).

    Is that what this Spaghettigate stuff is over? Well +1. I have Penne or Fusilli with whatever I'm having and dickheads that cry because it's the "wrong type" of pasta are indeed pretentious cunts.

    I joke around about what’s “right,” but there is some logic to some of this. Some shapes capture different types of sauce better, so you have nicer bites of food.

    But in reality, you should always do what you like with food and don’t let people like me dissuade you.

    I'm sure that's the only time you've explained your feelings on spaghetti properly and I agree.

    There are some things that are just wrong though. Well done steak is a hate crime.

    In the end I got a chicken shawarma thing from the Lebanese (complete with healthy items) and it was the dog's bollocks. Also got some humus for the fridge, as I always do when ordering from them.

    I won't be telling the Arab lad at work though or he'll just tell me it's no good here and better over there. Well, duh mate.

    It really isn’t if that’s what you want and you’re the one paying though. Unless you’re forcing everyone else to have it a way they don’t like to too, but I suspect that’s not a regular occurrence.

    I definitely wouldn’t entertain them in that case. But I wouldn’t be rushing out of a kitchen to take offence if they wanted it that way in the first place, or worse, just ignoring them and giving it out rare or medium because you think you know better.

    I like my meat reasonably done, what you need to ask for is medium - you don't get a rare steak, the Frenchman cooking it doesn't melt into a puddle of righteous stress, everyone's a winner.

    No, what you ask for is medium, because you like medium. Though I do love how it’s the French again with you A cartoon.

    This is how I prefer my steak. My old man is a well-done kind of guy. He doesn’t understand me, nor I him. It works.

    I actually do agree though with Giggles. A restaurant with a standard menu shouldn’t be refusing to cook your steak how you want it, except in the most egregious of circumstances (e.g., a thick 2kg florentine steak that would take 1h to cook through and be actual charcoal on the outside by the time the inside isn’t pink). Sure, they can recommend certain steaks done a certain way, but generally they’ll just cook it how you want it outside of the edge cases like the one described above. Though you do lose your moral high ground to complain if you don’t take the recommended option and don’t like it.

    If you’re going to some sort of multi-course set menu affair, though, you can’t expect to have your cake and eat it to.

    Giggles is right about spaghetti now he's explained it (though the fact nobody seemed to realise this was what he meant originally is probably more an indictment of a lack of explanation) - there's a strand of super conservative, finickity obsession over details in Italian food culture which is really tedious. Alright, getting annoyed with people calling pretty much anything carbonara is probably fair enough, but it gets a bit silly sometimes.

    The thing that makes any demand for "purity" in food like that totally meaningless is that it always relies on a really arbitrary decision about when the purity was achieved. As some food bloke on youtube put it, where do you draw the line? For a couple of hundred years from the tomato's arrival in Italy in the 16th century, it was viewed with deep suspicion and called the "devil's fruit" for fucks sake. Should we then say that tomatoes are not a valid part of Italian cuisine? No? So shut the fuck up about how you MUST NOT substitute guanciale or whatever.

    It did once come out as “people only eat spaghetti as a flex and would much rather have any other type of pasta really.”

    That tinned spaghetti bolognese they do is spot on. The slimy ravioli not so much, and the less said about the macaroni cheese the better.

    You could make a great recurring sketch where an angry Italian man gets increasingly exasperated with the zany lolrandom guy putting bacon into traditional Italian dishes.
