Working in a takeaway
« on: February 04, 2008, 01:44 AM »
I have a Pakistani friend that has recently opened a takeaway in  Sunderland,I have to admit the meals are excellent though a bit lacking on the portion size. ;D

I now have a dilemma,I have talked about my love for 'curries' for a long time with him and he now wants me to work there and amongst other duties he has said I can learn off the chef.The problem is it is a 7 days a week operation from around 5pm till way after midnight and I have other things I need to do regarding friends,family and what I term 'night work' mainly to do with coding various sites and repairing pc's.

Do I go for it and try to fit everything else into a morning/afternoon timeframe or do I carry on as normal but wish I'd said yes and learn from an excellent chef ?.

Do the job until you get a decent base sauce and Madras recipe then quit ;D

Sounds like an opportunity not to be missed, but at the end of the day it`s down to you. I dont think anyone here would think any less of you if you chose not to do it. If you did choose to go for it, how great would that be  :o ... No pressure!!  ;D

to be honest, I would hold it against you Mag - not in a sinister way, just a very deep sense of prolonged disappoint in you because you've not gone the extra mile.

On the other hand, if you do it, I will worship you - not in a weird way....

Go on, you know it makes sense.

PS. Do what Bobby says, but could you also blag Veg pakora, Chicken Tikka and a nice bhoona dish and then quit.

:D ;)
