As the seasons change, so do our appetites for takeaway. On these cold winter nights we find ourselves dreaming of a hot cooked meal, delivered straight to our door (one of the many dreams had by the founders of hungryhouse).

hungryhouse invites you to induldge in the complete Thai takeaway experience. It's about more than just a delicious meal, it's about the harmony that's infused into every bite. Read our eating tips, select your background music, and prepare for a night in with your best friend - Thai takeaway.

Is it the spice in curry that inspires you to rhyme? Do sesame seeds make you sarcastic? Or maybe there's something in the soy sauce that makes you confess your undying love for Chinese food.

hungryhouse loves them all and would not be a complete service if we did not have customer contributions. Guiding your fellow neighbours to the perfect takeaway is what our review system is all about.

We are taking a bit of time to appreciate the writers who have helped contribute to our 230,000+ restaurant reviews. To say the least, you entertain us all!

Millions and billions aren't numbers you hear everyday, unless of course you're talking about China. The Lunar New Year that began on 23 January has put the rabbit back in its hole and made way for the mighty dragon. hungryhouse knows exactly where the nations appetite is heading for Chinese New Year - directly to the fried rice!

hungryhouse did the maths for Chinese New Year and as you may have suspected, we are counting in millions. Remember to think about those 25 million trees while you enjoy Chinese takeaway this week.

Do these numbers stack up?

The Chinese year of the rabbit is on its last leg and hungryhouse.co.uk is curious about what the year of the dragon will bring. As a result of dishing out Chinese takeaway all year, of course hungryhouse has food on the mind.

While some may find it exotic, eating rabbit is quite common in the UK - especially among fine dinning restaurants keeping up with culinary trends. This got hungryhouse thinking about edible dragons. Well, edible reptiles that is.

You're hip. You trend topics on Twitter, you've got a blog, you order takeaway online. But let's not pretend you don't use Wikipedia to answer those burning questions like, 'what is Zumba' or 'how to snog' (we're not making this stuff up, 'how to snog' was the second most googled 'how to' question in the UK in 2011. 'How to flirt' was number 7).

So what will you do on 18 January when the English version of Wikipedia and other information sources blackout in protest of SOPA? Fear not fellow web surfers, hungryhouse is planning ahead and has created a list of potential questions you may need answered (or are curious about) while ordering your takeaway.

There's something about the New Year that fills the sky with luck!

Some say luck is hard work in disguise, others believe luck is nestled in green clovers. It may come as a surprise to you that hungryhouse believes luck is in the food! Eat your fair share of luck with these New Year traditions.

Everywhere you look, holiday cheer is dressed up in red and scented with pine needles. Over the years, hungryhouse has discovered that holiday cheer is undeniably more cheerful when accompanied by food.

Takeaway food can sometimes takes a back seat to Grandma's roasted goose (with good reason), but hungryhouse has found a way to incorporate our beloved takeaway rituals with the holiday season.

Auspicious days dot the calendar year round. Mostly in Asia, but we'll let that one slide.

While hungryhouse is busy confirming the meaning of 11-11-11 with our in-house soothsayers, we will take this opportunity to reveal a well kept secret.

Scroll down to the slideshow below and see just how...

What's that your noshing on? Bread cake? Barm? Bap? Cob?

Depending on where you're sat (or is it sitting?) the physical object of bread may very well sound like a foreign word to your fellow countryman.

With over 3,000 partner restaurants and counting, hungryhouse has found a little something special in each of the rich regional dialects across the UK. We are especially excited to welcome our new partner restaurants in Northern Ireland. Bear with us as hungryhouse irons out our favourite Norn Iron phrase:

“Dis yous think I came up the Lagan in a bubble?”

hungryhouse has discoverd that Halloween can mean many things to many people.

8 year old child: "Time to stock up on a years worth of loot."

Pagan: "Time to meet and greet pals on the other side."

Too many: "Time to bust out those animal ears (nothing else) and call myself a bunny."

hungryhouse staff: "Time to smear red lipstick on my colleagues face for showing up to work without a costume on."

To sum it up, it's a special time for us all. hungryhouse has dreamt up our ideal Halloween candy bag. Some items, such as unicorn poo, may be an acquired taste. But hey, you've got to try things at least once... or twice... sometimes three times just to be sure.
