I've never bought a take-away kebab, and if I have missed anything, I'm not worried about it. :D

I’m pretty sure I’ve never bought the Reggae Reggae sauce, but I did have a little bottle, must have been a freebie with something, was ok but I stick with Encona West Indian Sauce

I have bought takeaway kebabs, London student rite of passage, late night visit to the Dionysius on Tottenham Court Road, have had the odd one since

I don’t think I’ve ever bought pie & mash & liquor in a London pie shop, despite having lived within walking distance of one or other of the classics all my adult life

I love a takeaway kebab. :oops: :oops: :oops:

I’ve never bought anything from one of those little fish stalls you used to get outside pubs - jellied eels, cockles, whelks etc.

It´s quite possible we may have met there sometime in the past, without even knowing it :lol: :lol:
It was either Tottenham Court Rd, a trip to Good Friends or a humongous burger at the Hard Rock on Piccadilly...
Ahhhh, those were the days!
Actually, I´ve never bought fish & chips in London :shock:

I have never had a Pad Thai, I find that most Thai food contains far too much chili

I have never bought any kind of hot sauce. Not the sort of thing I want to eat at home very much but don't mind when I'm out. The list of things I haven't bought to eat at home is quite long. I have bought and eaten takeaway kebabs twice and have never had pie and liquor.

There should be little or no chilli in a Pad Thai, in both Thailand and and Burma boodle dishes are generally made “Chinese style” without chilli, a little saucer of sliced chillies is offered for you to add to taste, as well as green herbs and sometimes a hot relish

Being that bit further north we tended to head for Grafton Way, which was curry central, and just off that was Gig’s (still there, main source of nourishment for generations of medical students at UCL and the Middlesex) which served fish and chips and Greek food
Preferred Rock Garden to Hard Rock, but that was a bit later
And there was always Won Kee (correctly Wong Kei) and other places in Chinatown

I've never bought or eaten a sticky toffee pudding or a mousse or GU pot. Assuming that Heinz tinned syrup sponge puds don't count.

A large (yes large) doner kebab was my Friday night treat after the usual exhausting work week. The shop made its own chilli sauce, so not gloopy ketchup stuff, which made the world of difference.

My son used to buy Reggae sauce when it came out but it's not to my taste at all probably having become used to tabasco.

having been vegetarian since i was twelve, there are quite a few things that I've never bought or eaten (I've never eaten a fish finger - or a meat (of any kind) burger).

i've never bought/eaten époisses - or durian. i have avoided the first for the same reasons as not eating fish - the smell of ammonia. the latter - lack of opportunity.

Ooooh, there's something I miss! We had the best kebab outlet in Reading just up the road from us at our previous address. :yum

I've never bought tripe but feel I really should give it a go at some point.

Me neither with the Durian :( I just couldn't get past the smell when I first encountered it in Singapore - I felt faint with it :roll: :vomit

I've bought them all except from the fish stall I've never seen one of that type.
Durian would be ok if it wasn't for the smell!
