Takeaway vs Home Cooking
Sometimes The Former Wins
Introduction
I was just thinking about how takeaways are generally seen as bad, whereas home cooking is good. I do find the home delivery services sort of annoying. I was recently in my corner shop, and someone had ordered a delivery of frozen mashed potato. The cost of the frozen mashed potato was Β£1.20, but the bill for delivery was six pounds.
But this is about home cooking vs takeaway meals.
The music is "Fish'n'Chip Supper" by Paul Heaton.
Home Cooking vs Takeaway
By home cooking, I mean cooking from scratch, not ready meals that you shove in a microwave (I don't have a microwave).
The benefits are that you know what is going into the food, and you can be proud of what you have finally produced. The problem is that these days, cookers need power, and that means there is a hidden cost to your home cooking. On top of the cost of the basic ingredients, you have to factor in your time and the cost of the power.
With a takeaway it's order, pay, take home and eat, and sometimes I think, while takeaways are expensive, it may not be that different in cost to home cooking. I do detest kebabs, hot dogs and most fast food outlets.
But you have to think about what is best for you, and the cheapest option is not always the best.

Fun With Chopsticks
Introduction You might wonder why I chose Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London" for this story, just listen to the very first line. I suppose I could have included a version of "Chopsticks" to accompany this so I will put that in the conclusion.

Here, it depends on the restaurant. And quick is sometimes needed. However, scratch recipes ARE THE BEST!!
