Seacow/MEATliquor (main section)

[DovertheRoad]

I've been to a few of the other ones...and it was fun, great burgers obv but the experience is a bit like eating in a half lit nightclub...with a similar demographic and volume level.

I'm not "old" but probably fall outside their target group by a good decade. "can you turn the music down please?" etc

I'm in my sixties and thought it was great!

I don't usually like loud music when I'm eating but the music was good so I didn't mind.

Nobody made me feel old - the staff didn't recoil in horror :))

[DulwichFox]

I do not like ANY music when eating. Even in the Indian..

I would rather be able to talk if in company.

Certainly even from outside MEATliquor the music is deafening..

And that is coming from someone seemingly deaf for not hearing Aircraft noise.

Foxy.

We didn't have any problems hearing each other speak! We'd have left if we had!

Well.. I'm not likely to go there. Mainly as I do not generally eat burgers.

Having said that, I did have a Burger in the EDT out of nescesity to eat something

after 2 very busy days without eating. Most of the time I dont have time to sit down to eat.

It's become a bit of a chore for me. I just do not seem to enjoy my food these days.

I often go 2-3 days without eating a proper meal. I live on air..

It's impossible to enjoy food when you are diabetic.

Complete and utter nonsense. I have type two diabetes and I still love my food.

You are NOT me.. When I say 'It's impossible to enjoy food when you are diabetic.' I mean me.

I used to eat out most nights. Finances aside I eat out about 4 - 5 a month.

I have T/A's and I get 2 - 3 meals out of a normal curry rice meal. This means I do not need medication

and have a HB1ac of 5.7mmol/L

I am now concidered as Not Diabetic and may of reversed my condition. Although most medical personel

suggest that reversing type -2 diabetes is immposible.

If I were to stuff my face with Burgers and fries and chocolate brownies and ice cream I could well be back to square one.

Not a risk I'm willing to take.

I'm not really a foodie.. Food is just fuel and my body no longer uses it corectly.

Curry Club is the only time I really sit down to eat and leave most of my food. Mick P's doggy bag. :)

I cannot finish a whole meal so restaurants sadly have become a no no for me.

So you see. NOT 'Complete and utter nonsense.' as you put it.

Foxy

[Seabag]

It's horrible to feel thwarted by food I imagine

Don't give up tho Foxter, there must be certain things you enjoy more over others

[Sue]

There is a happy medium between stuffing your face with unhealthy food and eating boring food you don't like.

A diet of fat and sugar - bad.

The occasional burger and fries or slice of cake - a treat and highly unlikely to do any harm unless your GP has advised otherwise, surely.

When you write "It's impossible to enjoy food when you are diabetic" - one would naturally assume you're speaking for all diabetics, not just yourself. A usual it's all about you. You have a narcissistic personality disorder.

You obviously do not know or have not spoken to many diabetics.

I't is about me.. just as

I have type two diabetes and I still love my food.

is about you. People are different.

Yes. there may well be type 2 diabetics that 'enjoy' their food and eat what they want but most of them are on medication and over weight. You only have to go up to D.E.C.S at Kings to see the amputees who may of ignored the warnings.

To speak openly about ones health problems is not 'narcissistic', and it's not a disorder.

That's just a Buzz word you have picked up from EDF.

I can only speak for myself.. cannot speak for others. that is NOT narcissism. You need to look it up

and restrict its use.

D.F.

[Jah Lush]

I don't need to look it up. I just have to count the I's or me's in all of your posts.

And for your information and education this is what a narcissistic personality disorder is:- "a personality disorder characterized by excessive narcissism or exceptional self-interest and admiration."

Fits you to a T.

You don't need to look it up.. ??

but " personality disorder characterized by excessive narcissism or exceptional self-interest and admiration."

cut and pasted from..

http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/narcissistic-personality-disorder

Fits me to a T. ??

I do not know you from Adam and you don't know me to speak to.

When people post on here most people use.. I did.. I went... We went.. I like...

How do you avoid that. ??

To show such contempt for someone one has never met is Pejorative.. It is as ugly as Homophobia and Racism..

DF

[rendelharris]

Not joining the row chaps but pejorative means to show contempt, so bit of tautology there...

[KidKruger]

What's this - Just A Second ?

[Jeremy]

I was a bit surprised at how small Meat Liquor is. Seems a lot smaller than Sea Cow! But I guess the layout is very different.

Good burgers, but think I slightly prefer Honest burgers...

But not turning every single thread you contribute to about yourself. Simple really. You should try it some time.

Now, back to Meat Liquor. Agree with Jeremy it does look a little on the small side. Must get quite cramped in there when it's full. Isn't there an outdoors bit out the back?

You know me Mick.. I love my curry and Curry Club but always share a rice and share a naan.. and still never finish my meal. I've alway been a small eater but I think my stomach must of shrunk. (Do stomachs really shrink)

I really do struggle with food these days.

Still ! more left overs for Michael P's Doggy Bag.

There you go 4 I's and 1 me . so J.L. does not need to count them..

Hope to see you at the next Curry Bash.. Are you on a Dry Sept. ?

Foxy

if its like the other ones it'll be so dark no-one will notice what you're wearing louisa.

[Louisa]

Couldn't get seated, staff didn't seem overly interested in us as we were waiting around for a bit beforehand. Seemed to be empty seats too which was confusing. Didn't bother me too much because it looked cramped and the music was too loud for me. We went and got a take away up the road instead. I will be heading to Beckenham next time I want a meal out.

My life has got so exciting of late, that I have genuinely logged on to see what EDF personality, Louisa, thought of MEATLiquor....

Perhaps enjoying a bit of a lie-in after a little too much Meat and a little too much Liquor?
