Me, M, Squish, my 17 year old and my mom We ordered ragons and extra spring rolls and a few things of soup and everyone got a dinner. And we used door dash lol.

Troy can be pricey

When I order for 3 it usually comes to half that amount but we order enough for 2 plus meals, last bill was just under £80 so about 100 dollars so about the same.

Hi Dove, how are you?

My brother, mother and I ordered Chinese last year. We got a large lemon chicken, chicken fried rice, dry garlic spare ribs, sweet & sour chicken and 6 egg rolls. It came to roughly, $60.00 + $10.00 tip. You guys really paid a lot for yours but in all fairness, the prices depend so much on where you live, the place's reputation for it's quality of food and even the greed factor on their part. Say for example you lived in Manhattan. Your order could have very easily been much more than you paid.

WITH MY last order we got free delivery as the bill was high enough plus a few extras as we hit there targets for freebies. Delivery was about 4 miles and just tipped a few quid.

I've stopped ordering delivery or takeaway.... with the exception if I have to travel..

There is nothing you can buy these highly inflated days which can't be prepared cheaper and often much nicer at home.

In an already decades long hyperinflated economy where condiments have never been free, pizza is done by templates and even if you remove all toppings off except cheese, then add one ingredient not in the template, you'll be charged for all the removed ingredients plus 1 more.... and don't ask for a twist of black pepper on anything unless you're prepared to pay for it.

Yeah, nah... combined with the dismal customer service and bad employee attitudes (no tipping here; every wage is set by regulatory authorities and bundle in what might be the average tip), price gouging, shrinkflation measures that started decades ago), I'm just done with it all.

We had rotini pasta in a marinara sauce with hot Italian sausage, and a mixture of a bunch of grilled vegetables on the side.

I would have made some kind of garlic bread to have with it, but I was in a rush to get to my band's practice session.

I had some curry fries and a pint of Kilkenny in the late afternoon at an Irish pub with my buddy.

Then came home and had honey-garlic sausage, fried cheese gnocchi, Chinese dumplings, and spinach for supper.

Gonna have a yogurt parfait granola thing for dessert in a little while...

A few questions....

Why did he not grill the bread/toast?

Is there sauerkraut?

Is there Russian dressing?

Is anyone here familiar with Kraft Thousand Island salad dressing?

I hate to break the news to you, but you did not have a Reuben sandwich.

You may have been offered a Reuben sandwich, but you declined the offer.

It was probably still good.

I had a few minutes to think about it.....since you had a sandwich that identified as a Reuben....

I think you had a Trans-Reuben.

Yea its like Mary rose sauce with bits in it, thats "prawn sauce" to those who dont know. Its OK but a bit limited, what do you eat with it?

I have it on salad.

But is is good substitute for Russian dressing when making a Reuben sandwich.

Around here (and I believe much of North America), Thousand Island dressing has replaced Russian dressing.

To further complicate things, Kraft (a Canadian food company) produces a salad dressing that they call Russian, but it is very different than Russian dressing that is usually known as Russian dressing.

I used to get Reuben sandwiches at restaurants and they would use Thousand Island dressing. That is what I thought was the correct condiment. They when I read recipes, I saw a lot mentioned "Russian dressing", so I thought it meant the kind I was used to from Kraft. It is awesome, but very different than Thousand Island dressing. Upon further investigation when I searched for recipes for Russian dressing, I saw that they closely resembled Thousand Island dressing, not Kraft Russian dressing.

I looked up Marie Rose sauce and it seems a lot like Thousand Island dressing, but it is missing some key ingredients like paprika and sweet relish.

MR with prawns quite often has paprika sprinkled on it.

Make with tomato puree, mayo and a dash of worchester sauce.

In Vegas with some college friends, staying at the Circa, had lunch at Ellis Island Casino (love their fish and chips and wasn't in the mood for their giant ass prime rib), and tonight we are going out to Oscar's at the Plaza.

Frijoles, Spanish rice, spiced lamb mince burritos with diced onions, cheese, and Chili sauce. Made up a big pan of the lamb and rice mixed together. I'll be eating it for days.

This place looks really good, but sadly it is 5,558.45 km or 3,001.32 miles from my home. It would take me almost 2.5 days non-stop driving to get there. I could fly but it would still take most of a day to get there after transferring at Pearson. It would probably set me back $1,200 before buying the fish. :-(
