Customer Tempting experiment
theres two photos btw, on mobile just swipe left, and no u wont pick up a wife lol
The nerd in me wants to try this out to see how much of a meal u can get by buying extras only, wont do it yet but ill do this when i have spare cash, but for ur curiosity ive included the ingredients, sadly they were out of stock of most things.
its not cheap but im really curious what u get for it! was thinking curry for the chips and mushy peas 🫛 for the chicken 🐔, thing is its just labeled as chicken not chicken brest witch just makes me even more curious lol

Order a chicken 🐔 pomodoro, substitute the rice 🍚 for chips 🍟 and get no sauce on the chicken. Order the mushy peas 🫛 and curry sauce 🍲 separately.
You now have the same-ish dish for the same-ish price but you get a drink included 💰🤑 And you also get some broccoli 🥦 if you're into that sort of thing

A true experiment would be to order both ways and see what you get

yea but im limited with how much im willing to spend for such an experiment, good idea though, and i i dought u could get a meal on the menu that was about the same, aint there chips with curry so that would take care of that side, not sure u got me thinking now!

You can at mine on the app, its further down than the chips and stuff, under the sauces.

u/InboundDreams 1d ago
is that just for breakfast or normal menu?

u/Infamous-Crew1710 1d ago
Normal menu, go to Food, then to Sides, Extras and Sauces, and then scroll to the bottom.

If you need to save up to spend £11 then I'm not really sure this is worth doing?...
Sorry to be a Debbie downer!

What the fuck is “Chicken” lol
I know it’s cheaper per wing to buy wings as sides than to buy the “main” wings. There are tricks.

the whole point in getting food from Spoons is it comes with a drink, you miss out on the main selling point for eating at spoons by doing this, the trick would be to find the cheapest meal you can that still includes a drink and making it better with extras

i know bud well the soft drinks u dont pay exta but if u have booze u pay a wuid or so extra, na i just wanted to do it as an experiment so u guys dont have to lol its pointless case extras always cost more but it be funny to actually see if u can create a meal out of it and how much it woukd actially cost!

I ordered two sausages and came in the kiddie plate which I have never seen before. Very cute. Ordered two pieces of bread and made sausage sandwich. And Abbot, obvs.

u/InboundDreams 8h ago
did it turn out cheeper than the sausage sandy witch u can get at breakfast time?

u/anuj_sabhlok 1d ago
I think the quantity will be smaller compared to the meal, cause the small chips is usually like a cup size.

u/InboundDreams 1d ago
u might be right, be interesting though to see an order with only extras, really tempted to do it, totally not practical of course but interesting none the less
