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.

How do you have your steak? I just cook mine for as long as my patience allows. Then I eat it with scotch and waffles.

If I tell you, you've not to call me a little piggy. Or I'll ban you.
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.

Of course, that extra starter is as good as free, but by charging you 1p it sticks in your mind (and it worked!) Clever marketing techniques.

It's stuck in my belly now.

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.

That sounds pretty perfect. Medium Rare steak?
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!
