Chipper or Chinese????

Loada_Bo11ocks

Love them both but Id have to say I prefer a chipper. Id like going for dinner in a chinese restaurant but If im ordering or want some food on the run its chipper all the way!:)Ya cant beat chipper chips and fish.
Dont know how to add a poll but what do yas prefer?:o

Jax Teller

Pizza all the way

TPD

Chinese. You'd swear the chipper in this town uses his ballbag grease for the fryer.

Kiera

Can only eat either when i'm hungover. Thai is the way to go!

walshb

Chips or chopped up dog? Hmm, let me think:rolleyes:

Leprachaun

Neither. I enjoy not putting poison into my body thanks.

builttospill

Home cooking all the way. Haven't got a take-away in about 2 years. Fcuking dirty muck the lot of it no matter what international variety it is.

I love eating chippers, chineses, coke, crisps, jellies, chocolate, etc. It really fills the void which is my life.

Anyway, if your local Chinese has "Mexican Deep Fried Chicken" then get that, even though it's not exactly from the orient.

Ah sure have either why limit yourself! Personally i'd take chinese before chipper usually

GLaDOS

I prefer more things from the chippper, but I'm good either way. Pizza or subway over either any day

And you're free to. I just won't be doing the same as I'd rather live a long healthy life.

Just on a side note, and while builttospill and Leprachaun are thank **** each other, my former Chinese room mate said all Chinese restaurants in Ireland are **** and taste nothing like the real thing.

He made the real thing one night and I found it ****e.

I'd say your a lot of fun. Wasn't asking you to lick the bottom of an arsnic laden spoon, now was he?

Chipper. 9 times out of 10, its chipper. Sometimes chinese, if I fancy something different.

I'd murder a Thai. (Thai food, thai food, lets get that straight from the bat. Used to love the beef in red wine and ginger from Ruen Thai in Ranelagh. Is that place still open?)

PirateShampoo

Neither, Chip shops in Ireland are brutal, they don't compare to chippys in Wales. Everything is pre cooked over here, battered sausages are cut in half so they can be cooked from frozen. Whhaaaaa.

Also why the F**k cant you get gravy and chips over here?

He's spot in, the stuff you get in most takeaways is designed for your average thick Irish person and generally just a variation on deep fried something with MSG thickened soy sauce.

Genuine chinese food is amazing, and perhaps obviously, much better from a nutritional point of view.

Can't stand chipper food. Pizza for social takeaway, otherwise Thai or Indian. Rarely chinese unless I'm dying of a hangover.

Bob_Harris

Indian is lovely too, papadums and nan bread with Makhani Chicken, or a nice rich mild curry.

Da Bounca

Diep Noodle!

Or if you've a good chipper, get the garlic bacon cheese chips. God damn good.

You don't say Robert. You should probably grab a megaphone, jump in your car and reveal this revelation to the masses.

I'd rather a shorter but more enjoyable one, eating what I like. Each to their own

Not a while difference between doing that and living on chippers n chinese food.

And yes I am a lot of fun . What does eating **** have to do with being fun?


Btw,I've nothing against actual chinese food that you get in China. Like yer man said above, chinese talkaways are hardly proper chinese food.

Yes, and pizzas sold here are also tailored for the "average thick Irish person".

I find a lot of Irish people have it a bit mad when it comes to food; they'll gladly have 10 pints and head to the chipper but when they here of someone drinking a protein shake or taking creatine they start going mental.

Don't get me wrong, I drink a fair bit myself and at times have food that is clearly unhealthy, but I know what's what.

Which reminds me of a song...

You're eating out of the wrong chippers! The chipper I go to, nothing touches the fat until you ask for it, except for late friday night, when they do it to keep up with the post pub pissed crowd.

KnifeWRENCH

I prefer Chinese but I love chipper food too. As long as some part of the meal is deep fried and will potentially induce a heart-attack, I'm satisfied.

Indian is good aswell. Never had Thai food unfortunately.

But I love pizza

True, unfortunately. Though most takeaway pizzas here are similar to those in the US and UK, so I guess you could call it Westernised Pizza. Just like Westernised Chinese food, or Westernised Indian.

BigDuffman

Depends on how much drink I have consumed! Drink goes better with Chipper! mmmmm macaris!

Agricola

Depends really. If im just looking for something small, Ill get a takeaway. Maybe a burger or a fish. If Im going for a gut buster, Ill get a Chinese.

I always feel blowww-ted and guilty after it though

Gummy Panda

I like the mexican and Japanese take aways near my job.

Mmmm... chicken yakisoba with miso soup

It's not the fact that that you don't eat greasy food that makes him think you're no fun. It's the smug preaching.

The fact that you show such contempt for other people in what they enjoy shows an obvious sense of superiority.

If you didn't care you wouldn't have posted in this thread.

My aussie brother in-law loves Eddie Rockets especially because he can get an Aussie Burger (basically a burger with a fried egg).

I do like the cheese & bacon fries.

Hank_Jones

If I'm going to ruin myself with unhealthy food I usually go the whole hog and just get McDonalds.

If you're going to get food poisoning..it might as well be from a multi-national corporation as opposed to a stinky chipper.

Warper

Chipper for me as its handier

Is it me but everytime i go into my local chipper its the same fella working in there, everytime. It could be during lunch or late at night every day of the week. I find this in a lot of chippers in Dublin. Do these people ever take a day off?

Hell yeah! Stingy as they are...

I prefer chinese since it's more filling, but chipper three days in a row really knocks you out. :eek:

Bob_Harris

Most chippers are very poor, with only few being worth while.

Rosters in Bagenalstown is one such worth while place.

Davei141

I prefere the chinese. One thing i really hate about chippers is being at the mercy of the person serving you, they could give you a full bag or a measly few chips, yet you pay the same.

Rented Mule

Chinese !!

A billion and a half Chinese people can't be wrong.

MagicMarker

Chipper.

Donor Kebab, Chips, battered sausage & can of coke please.

Says the man who came in and started preaching about how Chipper food will kill you.

Who said lived on? Not I! Nor any poster so far, bar you.

Btw,I've nothing against actual chinese food that you get in China. Like yer man said above, chinese talkaways are hardly proper chinese food.

So we're being judged because we haven't gone to a part of Asia, and tried the food there, rather than down the road, where the food has been adapted to tastes closer to home. Nice.

I eat what I like too. I don't like food that's bad for me.

Yeah, well, we do.

Leprachaun wrote: »

Neither do I. But as I said, its hardly arsnic. Part of a balanced diet and all that. (I can't believe I said that, honestly, my balanced diet is making sure I've a can of coke to go with my chips, but that's niether here nor there.)

Leprachaun wrote: »

True. Can't stand ready meals, instant meals or the like. I do love cooking. I also happen to really like chips.

I'd like to live a shorter, happier life than a long and miserable one, judging everyone that happens to like chips.

anniehoo

Chicken chow mein ....then leg it across the road to get chipper chips..perfect combo. The chips from the chinese are mank!!
