Whats your favourite takeaway

[Nod]

No option for Gelato. Don't have takeaway that often here - Mrs Nod's an excellent cook and if we don't want to cook, we go out. The gelato of which I speak comes from the shop that seems to be open 24/7 right beside the bus stops on Plateia 1866 in Chania. We usually get to the bus stop about 20 minutes early for the bus (OK, 10 minutes late for the previous one!) after a good dinner and the walk up from the Old Harbour creates just enough room for a small dessert!

On the rare occasions when we do get something in, it tends to be a curry since they deliver. Only happens a couple of times a year though.

When we lived in Walthamstow had an excellent Kebab House called the Pinar at the top of the road.

Never that keen on pie and mash, but jellied eels are very nice, fried ones ain't bad either. When I was a kid they used to sell them live, all squirming about in big metal trays outside the pie,mash and eel shop at the Bakers Arms

but jellied eels are very nice,

Ah yes now you are talking that's proper food
( none of this spice up the meat to hide the rotting meat taste )

Never tried them fried though.

A few years back I could have caught all the eels you'd want, walking the dogs early on wet days they actually swam across the wet grass in the fields
between the river and canal, evil looking things

Traditional way to catch Eels was worms all tied up in Wool, lower them in and the Eels teeth got caught in the wool
Another way to enjoy them is stewed, my mate curried some once, never fancied that much at all

Fried Elvers are a speciality too, never tried them, they are found down on the Severn, many of London's eels came down on the train from Ely (Isle of Eels originally)
