Chinese for tea

[Alf]

As it was Chinese new year yesterday, I'm gonna have me a Chinese meal for me tea (that means dinner to you non northerners)

What should I get?

[Niamh.]

Get an Indian instead

[Strictly Jake]

Duck in plum sauce with cashew nuts, chow mein, salt and pepper chips, prawn crackers and vegetable spring rolls. I think there is a reason I'm getting fat...

[Alf]

Get an Indian insteadThat thought had entered my head, but I'm doing this deed for the Chinese and their new year celebrations.

Please don't keep tempting me with an Indian, I don't know if I have the will-power to resist.

[Shaun]

all our chineses are usually shut for a week or two around this time of year </3

i usually get some variation of crispy chicken strips in a cantonese sauce (but there's only one local that does it perfectly, the others are all just BASIC sweet and sour). seaweed is a must, though.

[Alf]

My local opens at 5pm, crisis over.

[Alf]

I think I'll get a mixed starter for two, where you get, prawn toast, crispy seaweed, spring rolls and chicken skewers with satay sauce. And then a special green pepper in blackbean sauce with egg fried rice.


That'll do me

[Crimson Dynamo]

I don't think anyone has used Chinky in a negative manner unlike **** for Pakistani

It is an offensive slang. They hada advert out where someone used that word and the Asian girl was offended.

It's not offensive. It's. Scottish thing to put a y on names

Chinese folks have never been abused or persecuted here

We say Aussie and Kiwi too

In the United Kingdom, chinky (or chinky chonky,[1] in parts of northern England known as a chinkies, always in the plural) is an offensive slang word for a Chinese takeaway restaurant or Chinese food. However, along with 'chink', they are named among TV's most offensive words.[2] Originally, the word 'chink' refers to a narrow opening, slit or small gap, a negative analogy used to deride peoples with Epicanthic folds. In the 20th century, the word 'Chink' was a term used by many white North Americans to exclude and mock the facial appearance of Chinese migrants.

chinky


A racist term, derived by the word "chink", to describe anyone of Eastern Asian descent (i.e. Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, etc.). Not a "cool" term since it has been used against us in a negative fashion for centuries in the United States.

Its around the net.

[Niamh.]

Yes LT, Chinky is not just adding a Y onto Chinese anyway, it's a whole different word.

Do you know where the term "chink" comes from?

[Crimson Dynamo]

Do you know where the term "chink" comes from?

In American parlance it refers to Thier epicanthic fold but it's just short for Chinese in Scotland

[Alf]

Do you know where the term "chink" comes from?Is it from the dictionary?

[Marsh.]

It's just a shortened version of 'Chinese'

Banana fritters
Omg yes they are amazing :love:

[Alf]

[Mystic Mock]

I love a Chinese.

What did you order? And did you also order an Indian to go with your Chinese?

[Crimson Dynamo]

I do love banana fritters

[Alf]

Well, I'm as full as a bulls bum.

And I have left overs to warm up later for a midnight feast.

[bots]

A Chinese meal from a proper high quality chinese restaurant can be delicious. The main problem I have with standard chinese fair is that the food is all really low quality and cheap cuts of meat when its just not necessary. Indian food is much higher quality

[Mitchell]

I love the chips from my local :love:

[Matthew.]

Having a chinese right now :D

[Mitchell]

Having a chinese right now :D
