View submission: Anyone else get disappointed when a Chinese takeaway doesn’t give you free prawn crackers?

Yep. Same when you put in a big curry order and they don’t give you any popadoms. It’s just stingy.

I once ordered from a curry place when I lived in London and selected “popadom”, (singular) on the menu for £1.50, assuming it was a typo and there would be multiple popadoms included.

Nope. In the paper bag was one solitary £1.50 popadom.

Never ordered from there again.

This is a good Indian equivalent that I fully agree with.

I sense this is still a sore subject and I thank you for sharing.

My family love poppadoms. I’ve taken to buying them at the supermarket so we have them in ready when we have takeaways because I’d otherwise have to remortgage for everyone to have 2-3 each.

I would take that grudge to my grave.

I dont order poppadom's. I've seen £2.50 per poppadom plus and additional £3.5 for chutneys. This is in the north they obviously realised people were ordering them last minute assuming they were cheap and decided to rip people off.
