Lockdown and Food? I know, I know... perhaps this is the new norm for most of us.
The reason behind this post is actually very surprising and funny, let me walk you through.
I am one of those individuals who love to do digital housekeeping and by that I mean constantly removing unwanted pictures, documents and even emails from my Google account (which is not full, not even close, its just a habit 😀). So, I came across a large number of emails (order receipts from a food delivery service) and realized that I have a very pronounced pattern of ordering the similar food items every other day.
*I figured out that on average I have ordered Nasi Ayam Mandi (In Bahasa Malaysia: Nasi=rice, Ayam=Chicken, Mandi=well its Mandi, its the name of the dish), which is a very famous Arab dish (originating from Yemen) almost thrice every week.
This prompted to start this post and see what people around the world are ordering especially the ones under lock down and self-quarantine.
There's no format to this thread, please feel free to share your top ordered food and tell us a bit about:
- The Name and origin of the Food
- What makes it so special for you?
- What was the frequency of the order (per week or per month)
Let the glorious food episode begin.
P.S. *apologies for the overly complicated lines up there, I have this tendency to complicate things. Don't frown, I'm still learning
If I talk about my city all the restaurants here are closed during the lockdown. So it was totally impossible for me to order food from outside @OmerAli. During this period my family insisted more on home-made food. Here I am sharing with you some homemade food.
(In the photo here 1. Paneer Matar Masala, 2. Dabeli, 3. Pizza and 4. Suki Bhaji and Thepla.)
Hi @OmerAli the Nasi Ayam Mandi looks provocative and I think that I'd often order it too. But, in my case, I prefer to eat pizza, the famous Italian food, because it's bigger, cheaper and the whole family is full after eat it. A slice of pizza makes me happy 😄
Unfortunately, my favorite restaurant to order pizza delivery, closed during lockdown.
oh you are so lucky brother @NareshDarji
There's nothing like home cooked food, full of love and nutritions.
I love the variety of your food, I wish I could have a little bite of each.
Yayy, happy to know that @BeatrizAguilar
I love pizzas as well. Infact, my second most ordered food item was Pizza (Meat Mania, to be precise) 😀. I think pizza is a universal food and everyone on planet earth must have tried it at least once.
Maybe the Martians too, we'll find out soon enough 😁
@OmerAli I strictly avoid to go out before lock down I have stocked grocery for 2 months and usually me and my daughter cooked in house daily, because just 1 day before my wife was died due to kidney failure we never ordered even a single day during lock down.
