Are We Losing Our Will To Cook

[trt]

Apart from being ripped off, that you are ordering from a restaurant, how can these containers have the proper hygiene etc, and what happens if you are not happy with the food, can you send it back to the kitchen/container?

There are 2 near me, one a Pizza & the other an Indian on a industrial estate, sharing the same premises, and locals are complaining about the noise of motorbikes, and I only live in a small town.

The cooking premises must meet food hygiene standards no matter where they are or how they are constructed. The units in the Mail link will be specialised commercial kitchens in modular units and will be specifically made to comply with all food hygiene and safety requirements. The quality of the food is down to the chefs technique and the quality of the ingredients, not the location.
I don't understand your reference to motorbike noise or how it relates to the question.
Yes if you are not happy you can send the food back just as you can anywhere. May be a bit difficult to organise with a take away though.

The motorbike noise refers to all the delivery riders going to and from until the early hours

Well, I'm not losing my will to cook. I went to the butcher's this morning, he sliced some lovely lamb's liver for me and I cooked it this evening with creamy mashed potatoes, swede and onion gravy. Mr. J2 certainly approves. I do love the occasional Chinese takeaway from the one decent, local restaurant though.

Sounds (from the article) as if this could be behind the rise in obesity perhaps?

[EDDIE51]

^ OK but the noise does not affect the quality of the food.

THUD!!!

[Baldric]

From the link, always worth reading

///used to nightly disturbances: the din of mopeds and motorcycles that zip along the once-quiet street seven days a week, every evening, until after midnight.
‘There are up to 20 of them,’ said one fed-up homeowner. ‘They honk at each other, and their drivers talk and shout at one another///

[EDDIE51]

Baldric, the noise does not affect the quality of the food, nor does the unit in which it was cooked. The question is about the food safety and hygiene which again is not affected by the noise of the delivery bikes.

Eddie, just to remind you, taken from your post @ 21:31,

How soon they forget!

[woofgang]

can't remember the last time I had a takeaway.

[Prudie]

My deliveries come by car

[Tilly2]

I have to say that I have never had a home delivered take away and I am not losing the will to cook. I like cooking when I have the time. What I don't like is planning what to cook.

Are We Losing Our Will To Cook

No, I've never had the will. And like Prudie any take aways that we order come by car.

[Cloverjo]

I cook for the staff where I work, so I can't lose the will to cook. I just think of it as my job. At home I might get a takeaway but have never had one delivered here. I think I might have ordered a delivered pizza when I was a student.

[andy-hughes]

I've never had the will to cook - I'd cheerfully clean the loo rather than cook something!

[DaisyNonna]

Why does the occasional takeaway mean that anyone is losing the will to cook?
Can't remember when I had my last one but now I think about it will probably have one next weekend
Such a faff cooking a recipe using multiple ingredients for one person
Indian or Chinese?
Will have to think about it

[Prudie]

Me too Andy! On a serious note to the OP I do have takeaways quite often but all from local restaurants that I know. No I wouldn't order from something set up in a container.

[jourdain2]

Daisy, cook for 2 and freeze one portion - it works. All I have to do is persuade Mr. J2 to defrost and cook the meals I leave in the freezer for when I am absent!

[EDDIE51]

Baldric the question asks ''How can these containers have the proper hygiene etc'' which I have answered, it has nothing to do with the noise of delivery motor bikes which is a separate issue. I agree that the noise of the bikes can be a problem but it has nothing to do with the preparation of the food and the units it is cooked in.

Isn't it funny that, although the majority of sticks have only two ends, people are determined to pick the wrong one so often? :-)

[ummmm]

Eddie...it's mentioned in the OP.
