If I am in a cinema watching a film , I don't want anybody at the side of me munching a pizza.

So you're paying a premium to watch films in an environment that is trying to replicate the home environment, settees, pizzas etc.

A fool and his money etc.

Never mind that. Paying money to get a pizza with tropical fruit on it should be number one in any checklist that decides whether benefits should be withdrawn.

I prefer been sat at a table when eating so I had my pizza sat down at a table on a balcony overlooking the Leeds skyline.


I'm more than happy to spend money in a place that employs people to work in an enjoyable environment!


So you'd stop my benefits for spending £5 on a pizza?

A pizza with pineapple on it, yes.

So what restaurant recommendations do you have for the unemployed to avoid your benefit sanctions? We've got to eat

Get yourself to the greengrocers' aisle in Kirkgate Market. Plenty of options there without spending £10 on cheese on toast as reimagined by an acid-tripping Hawaiian.

I had the best gammon once from one of the butchers in Kirkgate Market. However I probably do need a healthier option so the next time in there I'll check what's on the greengrocers' aisle.

Beans. Tesco value beans. Stale Bread thrown out from bakery. Water from puddles.

Having never received any benefits , I am not certain of the procedure . To receive benefits do you have to eat pineapple pizza, or are you allowd any other foods .

As far as I can tell, you claim benefits, spend it luxury items, then come onto an internet forum and tell everyone simply to p[size=100i[/sizess them off.

Cheap or so called 'off' food cooked up by a good chef is very nice indeed. I had the pleasure of eating such food last Tuesday afternoon at a mates BBQ. Lovely weather.


At this moment in time people on benefits are given a choice on what and where they can eat.

Regardless of who is eating it and regardless of whether they are on benefits, putting pineapple on pizza is just wrong.
The only fruit on a pizza should be tomato.

Back to talking about food which is what this thread is all about



As it happens the pineapple just happened to be the nicest part of the pizza that I had so maybe craigizzard saying that I had [icheese on toast as reimagined by an acid-tripping Hawaiian[/i holds weight. Regardless I enjoyed the whole pizza and I would recommend that everyone at least tries it. If you don't want to then no problem.

Nothing wrong with including fruit in main course food, indeed as I always say at times like this "It ain't a curry unless its got fruit in it".

My wife bought me a Pork & Black Pudding pie from Headingley Saturday Farmer's market. I just had it for my lunch, it is the food of Champions.

This is not about just any main course, it's about pizza.
I'd have apple on my pork (ooh er, miissus) or plums (oh dear) with duck .... but never on a pizza.

The lad has been mixing with the wrong crowd I reckon.
It'll be gravy on his chips next.
You mark my word.


And I refuse to rise to your curried sultana bait.

You're just baiting me now aren't you?

It's a good job that filth merchant Puig Aubert is too grown up to frequent this board these days.

Do you know what I have recently discovered to be a quite excellent snak-er-oo ?

Cooked, cold sausage, a nice cumberland perhaps, with cold (refrigerated) grapes.

My family think I'm weird.

I get my takeaways from shezzaans on Galloway Lane in Pudsey which is a restaurant. Last night I had Chicken Puri for starters which was absolutely delicious and Shahi Korma for mains. It was lovely

It's nice there, and they don't charge corkage either which is good. Still miss the tiberio though

Takeaways and flash cinemas

Must be ace on the Rock N Roll

Is there a good Caribbean takeaway in Headingley or close by heading towards Harrogate? Really fancy trying some Curried Goat

"Curry Goat" not "Curried".

Its important.
