Thank you all for voting in the f&c vs. home salmon competition. Your input was greatly appreciated in assisting with this monumental decision. Strong start for the f&c party but some very compelling arguments for home salmon later in the day. I was changing my mind every 5 mins. My entire ethics and personality were at stake…

However, i regret to betray everyone’s enthusiasm and inform you all that out of nowhere a third, unexpected candidate appeared about an hour into my salon experience and increasingly gained on the others despite a complete lack of campaigning. In the end, for the reasons outlined below, I went with this reliable third party.

The winner: fish curry and calamari masala from MKS Spices.

please find below my reasoning for this upsetting result

* Haircut got delayed by halfa. * Google maps showed a 30 min plus drive back and the f&c wasn’t going to stay fresh. * Didn’t want to eat at the shop and get full whack of traffic. * But also increasingly convinced I didn’t want to cook tonight after waiting so long. Wanted to eat as soon as I got home and not have to brave my local overstimulating shops. Did not want to clean up oil etc after frying salmon. Got started on an ebook that I wanted to get back to straight away. * Developed craving for spice due to unexpected pangs of comfort-seeking. * F&c is everywhere but MKS-style food is few and far between. Unlikely I’d go for weeks. * MKS was just a 4 min drive away and didn’t add much to my overall travel time. * Remembered I needed to buy frozen green chillies anyway. * Bought like 3 meals worth of food (sans rice) for like $25 * Had leftover rice at home * Bonus: got to buy some fresh string hoppers to eat over the weekend (definitely not easy to get anywhere else near town).

thank you and please enjoy your respective dinners. 🍽️ 🍛 🍲

This is the equivalent of if Pauline Hanson unexpectedly won the federal election somehow at the last minute

  No, it’s the Greens goddammit! Pauline wouldn’t put up with curry. She’s the original f&c proprietor

I feel cheated!

Glad you were able to stock up though. 🙂

  Yes, I grabbed some frozen cluster beans as well (I always have a craving for this but you can’t ever get it fresh here). All in all a good outcome. Next two weeks will be busy so f&c remains an option then.
