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...

That 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.

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.

I'll have to check if the ones in my area now. Didn't think of that.

My local opens at 5pm, crisis over.

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

I always call it that, just not in public, as it offends British people.

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

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.
