High Street Takeaway Launches the ‘Sack Matt Hancock’ Curry in Lockdown

Copyright, Belters News

A high street takeaway has launched a record-breaking set menu to help its self-isolating regulars get their “daily curry fix” without leaving the house – a 114 item feast that takes 10 DAYS to eat.

The ‘Aag Maithyoo Hancock’ – roughly translated as ‘Sack Matt Hancock’ in Hindi – is said to include “everything a curry addict needs” in quarantine.

It contains the most popular Indian starters, main courses and desserts in addition to side dishes, naan breads, poppadoms and a range of spicy sauces.

Dishes include masala lamb chops, lamb biryani, saag chicken, Punjabi vegetable samosas, chicken biryani, tandoori paneer shashlik, chicken kali mirch, beef chukka, tandoori chicken, Goan salmon cafreal, classic chicken tikka, beef bhuna, aloo tikki, malai broccoli, goat sheek kebab, malai Chicken tikka, saffron rice, gulab jamun and mango and coconut cheesecake.

The banquet also includes six Indian lagers – enough for “one big night in” or two “mildly intoxicated evenings”.

With a total of 27 dishes and 114 separate items, it is believed to be the largest set meal takeaway for one anywhere in the world.

It goes on pre-order sale from today priced £49.99 at Bombaylicious in Coulsdon, Surrey. Delivery costs 10p.

Owner Asad Khan said the meal deal will only be delivered to regular single customers who are unable to “maintain their usual curry intake” because of self-isolation.

It was created in response to reports last week that Covid-19 tests were not available to book online in any London borough.

Khan said: “We suffered greatly with the government’s ‘Eat In to Help Out’ scheme, which took many of our customers away to nearby restaurants.

“The lack of testing in London, which we anticipate will soon reach Surrey, will be a double whammy for takeaways and for single people who will have to self-isolate for long periods of time.

“The Aag Maithyoo Hancock will, we hope, enable those regular customers to get the daily curry fix they deserve and crave.”
