No, I always round up the cost of mine. What do the sharers say when the group are ordering korma or shite like chicken fried rice... "but no veg. I don't like veg, do you like veg, is that spicy, I don't know, don't get me anything, mebbe I could get a wee bit of yours, whit's chaat?...." I'll have South Indian Garlic Lamb, let me know when it comes! Edited July 21, 2020 by Sergeant Wilson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have South Indian Garlic Lamb, let me know when it comes! This approach is fine. If you order something no-one else will want, you won't need to share. If you're daft enough to order a popular dish in a group setting, you're taking a massive risk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Stunning lack of comprehension from a wide range of posters here, and without doubt the most disappointing one is Ruggy, who is normally a man of impeccable taste and etiquette. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curmudgeon Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I'm looking forward to Throbber's next post when he says he's traumatised after the MIL's partner got pished and announced that he's a long undefeated champion of soggy biscuit and challenges Throbber to a toss-off. Meanwhile the MIL is in the kitchen mashing all the ingredients of tonight's dinner in to a communal trough and Throbbette is insisting it's all just harmless fun and he should just man up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I’m going out for a meal, I’m ordering what I want to eat. Not what I think other people might want to eat and hope for the best that they all order something I want too. If you want that sort of stuff, the shitehole buffet king type places are where to go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isnt all of this talk for takeaways? I have never heard of shared meals in restaurants. I dont think anyone is talking about that? This all stemmed from throbbers takeaway tantrum 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd_is_God Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) If we are ordering an Indian I will have South Indian Garlic Chilli Chicken. Either as a curry with rice or sometimes in a calzone. If, upon hearing me place my order, you wish to eat a bit of that then order one yourself. I'm not interested in dishing a bit out to get a bit of your pishy korma in return. Edited July 21, 2020 by Todd_is_God 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
