How to decide what to order from the chinese

[spikeyhead]

open up excel

Type randombetween(low,high)

where low and high are replaced with the lowest and highest numbers of the main meals

89, stir fried beef with Szechuan sauce

Saves excessive contemplation

I like to play Chinese lottery. I often ask for a lucky dip and just shout out random numbers and just see what arrives.

Duck.

Beef chow mein.

Salted, spiced chicken.

I simply follow the logic which millions of us follow...

1) Grab three or four Chinese takeaway menus.
2) Spend 30 minutes looking at all the various tasty options.
3) Order exactly the same thing you've ordered every week for the past 5 years, from the same takeaway you always use.

I always do this, however the girlfriend can easily starve to death whilst making a decision, hence my new approach.

Darts. Surely there's no other way that you could find out what a 'special secret sauce' tastes like?

Sadly, the stuff we like has been colour-coded on the menus by my wife.
One week we reorder the numbers with blue dots, another week it's red dots....

I prefer the 'phone book lottery'

Open phone book at random and blindly stick your finger on a name on the page, the phone number is your order

What's a phone book?

Just try not to offend them when you are ordering, you might get a special serving of sweet and sour chicken with "cream of sum yung gai".

Salt and chilli chicken
Sweet and sour pork balls

Then find they've changed the recepie and it tastes nothing like it did before and nowhere near as nice.
