Purely for research purposes I ordered on the phone tonight. The price was the same as the net, but I was offered an extra starter for 1 penny.
I would have been nuts to say no.
Anyway, that's it for a while, takeaway-wise. I've had quite enough.
And I have a steak in the fridge that's not getting any fresher.

I crush some peppercorns and rub them into the steak, sear it in a skillet (medium), add some brocolli florets and oyster mushrooms; add a tablespoon of thick double cream at the last minute to soak up the steak juices and reduce to a peppery creamy sauce.
Serve the steak and sauce on a cross-cut batard bread roll and gorge myself in front of the telly.
Oink oink.

I've always found Dominos Pizzas a little dry for my liking. I used to love Pizza Hut back in the mid 90s, but I went back to one late last year and it was so greasy - not going back there.
I prefer the locally-run pizza places. It's difficult to find one that uses really good ingredients, but when you find one, they taste a lot better than the franchised stores imo.
I was recently introduced to the pizza without a tomato base and I can highly recommend it.
I had a garlic bread with chesse, pepperoni, salami and red onion. Absolutely gorgeous.

Much prefer dominoes to pizza hut, too greasy. You can't beat a meatball sub though as far as lunch is concerned!

I un-wittingly consumed aspartame in the Fajita Pizza - I looked on the website to see the ingredients.
Grr I hate E-numbers, I had to put each one into a search-engine to see what it really was!

Why do people say “Quad bike” and “Double prime”—it is like saying a “three-sided square”, oh wait they do, “Tri-square”?!
