Eating out

Cantankerous · Jan 21st, 2009, 10:15 AM

How many of you are crazy obsessed with eating out, so much so that if you have to choose between a lovingly prepared home cooked meal by your Mama and eating out, you'd choose the latter? (mind you, my Mom is a great cook by the way)

I think I have a thing for nicely laid out tables, with someone waiting on me, and well presented food. So I'd rather be munching on an undercooked zucchini on a bland pizza that is delectably presented, but if you tell me that dinner includes "bhindi-torri", I walk out in protest.

My mom's theory is that I am just hooked on the added flavor which results from the sweat-stained and "na janay what else stained" hands of the chefs!

Everyday lunch out! Wow, I envy you!

I aspire to make more money so I can eat out at some upscale place every day.

I eat out once in a while. The presentation at my home is no different than a posh restaurant. My wife lays out the table and lovingly serves the food , my kids help her, if I want I need something they are all happy to do it for me.
I am thankful to Allah for all his bounties. Yes I do not like bhindi-tori or any kind of bhaji, if I eat it I will dump lots of chaat masala in it.

Look at you! You let your poor kids wait on you? Does your wife fan you when you're eating?

I've really cut down on eating out since i was watched a show called 'Rogue Restaurants'. That being said in once or twice a month we don't mind going out for some much needed junk food.

What was revealed in that show? Cockroaches crawling over food, rats scuttling about? If so, I have heard these stories a trillion times and I am still very enthusiastic to eat out. All you do is take out the roach leg out of the food without batting an eye lash and ignoring the rat altogether.

I like eating out but there are a lot of times when I prefer to have my mom make something. She is an amazing cook! I really like watching a good movie and having some good food cooked by her. Im away and miss her aloo qeema...thats what she made today.

They do not wait they help her set the table and once it is all set we all sit dig in together and enjoy quality time, meal ,chit chat and thank Allah for his bounties bestowed on us.

once or twice a week is ok...anything more then that is just too much for me. I prefer cooking/preparing my own meals. I know what goes in and I know how clean my hands/utensils and my surroundings were when i made em
