How many times a week would you have a fast meal?

How any times a week would you have a fast dinner meal?
What would it be if you did?

If you mean take-away, hardly ever. We are lucky if we buy it once a month and even then I complain about it. I'd much rather cook every night regardless of what we are doing or if we are going out etc.. There really isn't anything out there worth buying that is any good or that even tastes any good (other than subway). That's my opinion anyway :hehe:

[July]

About once a fortnight for us, probably a bit less. If it's hubby and I choosing we go for old fashioned hamburgers with beetroot and pineapple etc. None of that Macca's rubbish for us!
The kids usually pick Macca's or pizza though.
Very occasionally we get Chinese take away, but it's a bit too expensive to have often (and it ain't that great anyway).

[Mad Old Cow]

depens really we might go weeks without it & then twice in a week
would be fish & chips or chinese

[Kekka]

Twice a week if being naughty. Aim is for zero take-out....... :(

[beckky]

Hardly ever these days...the last time was pizza on Mother's Day with the kids :blink:

We have take out maybe once every two weeks. Most of the time its Pizza, only sometimes Chinese, and sometimes Charcoal Chicken. Its much cheaper too eat at home for us, and when I have a 'slack' night we have an easy meal such as Hotdogs or home made hamburgers.

We have takeaway maybe once a fortnight. Its expensive for us with 6 kids. Usually its fish and chips, thats around $30. Sometimes we go to Nandos, if the older kids are at their dads for the weekend, then its just the 2 of us and the little ones. Its very economical and tasty, costs around $25!
We all go out to the local RSL regularly, for inlaws birthdays etc so thats our 'eating out'. Williamstown has grat places to eat.
We go to La Porchetta a bit also.
Once a month I take the kids to Macdonalds for a meal and a play. I like Subway too.

Some times once a week. I'm not lazy at all. Everything is hard for me with my illness, so it is like a wee break.

We had Dominos last night, the gits took an hours to get here, and they are only about 5 mins up the road.

we have take away about once a fortnight. when we do it is usually hungry jacks. Sometimes after school I take the kids with some friends and their kids to maccas for a play date and we get them an ice cream each.

Hmm let me see....Monday nights is always dinner on campus at the cafe they have there. Friday nights is usually something out of the slow cooker that I've put on before I go to class or if I have been on campus all day, then I will pick up Subway on the way home. The other days....well it depends what I'm working. If I'm working late shifts, then no take out because I just eat at work. If I'm working day shifts, then we might eat out somewhere (La Porchetta, Cactus Jacks, Sizzler etc), pick up Subway or cook something at home. Night duty is usually slow cooker food again...chuck it in the pot when I come home in the morning and it is ready to eat when I get up. :yes:

I'm not really one for fast food as a general rule. I would rather pay more and wait longer for decent food...that is, eat out somewhere. That way I'm getting a nice healthy meal and I don't have to cook or clean up. :D Even when we have pizza, we usually get it from La Porchetta and they don't seem to be as greasy as the likes of Dominos etc. :yes:

[sehyang]

Actually I didn't mean eating out, what I ment was what kind of fast food would you do at home. Although you all have very different tastes, it will be interesting to see what fast food you make at home. I'm hopeless at making anything so I'm hoping to be able to get some idea from all of you.

[Stormy]

So Shirley, when you mean fast food, you don't necessarily mean take out or drive through, more meals that you can make quickly??

Edited to say - in that case, stir fries, pasta, pizza (if I have a base in the fridge/freezer), toasted sandwiches, burritos/tacos/enchilados - that sort of stuff is on the menu quite a bit around here. Oh and anything out of a slow cooker because it's easy to prepare and I don't have to wait around for it to cook. :yes:

[Cherie]

We dont do take away food.I do Meat and Vegs a lot, I'm fast at that.LMAO
I do a lot of different types of meals though, my Chilli con carne is fairly quick.

[sandydee]

a couple of times per week ,such as spag bog,chilliconcarne,chowmein,burritos,tacos,toasted sangas,omellette,stir fries etc:yes:

[Kekka]

I do the best vegetarian pizza on the planet!

[Puggle]

I can't remember the last time we had take-out
I really enjoy cooking even if it is only something quick and simple so don't see the need for it
