Don't think I've ever had a take away I haven't warmed up before eating
We used to get a takeaway every Saturday night, for about 15 years, in that time, I think we had 1 that was cold.
Im stunned to read what you are saying.
I only have a takeaway about every 3 months though
I get 1 only when Everton win these days, so yeah, every 3 months here also.
Everton, the atkins diet of supportership.
Cant complain, been out twice this week for a sit down meal.
Both were fairly mid.
I do feel as tho the standard of eating out is getting worse, quality wise.
Its certainly not getting cheaper.
It has gotten harder for everybody, some businesses feel a duty to the staff they've had for ages that are effectively family. Trying to keep the business afloat. Energy hasn't come down significantly for business, rates are still up, staff can't survive on shifts only on a friday and saturday, vat is somehow still 20%, and mortgages have increased so much legions are downsizing to a more manageable sized property. People are frightened, and entertainment is the first thing cut. 'Eat out to help out' was the last thing they tried, and it did significant harm. A nuclear winter of financial tory ineptitude.
Fill your boots now, when the brexit hold ups at customs kicks in fully, there's going to be some very hard choices.

I think you've overestimated how many take aways you have had, buy that's one hell of a saving money tip for Evertonians. If we do a 10k run for every point deducted we'd be the healthiest fans in the league.
Cold take aways though. Unless you live a considerable way away from the place you've ordered from, that's not acceptable.
I know a fairly successful local chef (regularly been on national TV and whatnot), and he recently said that the model is edging towards being unsustainable.
In one of his places, they were famed for their breakfast that used and promoted local produce. For him to make even the slightest profit, he'd now have to...
... charge £18.50, from £10-12 a few years ago. He knows that's an unrealistic price, so the decision is either shrink the portion or reduce the quality.
Then with the drinks suppliers throwing around another 5% on costs, and then you have to account how that adds on extra duty too, it's a perfect storm.

Can't really do it so much for breakfast, but many of the better places seem to be using cheaper cuts of meat, making their own bread and butter etc which means roughly the same price but also nicer
The whole premise was he wanted a good quality breakfast that was only including home-made or local produce. Part of it was his home-reared sausages.
Lowering the quality goes directly against what he was trying to do, and as a proper chef (wanting quality) it looks as if he's just going to have to scrap it.
I got a mixed kebab on Friday night from a takeaway near us. Now, I know it's never going to be the healthiest, but it's always been excellent koftas etc.
I paid £11.99 for two meats, for a kebab. Twelve fluffin' quid. The world is going mad.

If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.
I don't think I've ever had a take away that I have warmed up,
