    The finest sandwich I've ever had involved some essential Irish ingredients..

    Sausages.. (Denny Obviously :p)

    A Waterford Blaa...

    The Discover Waterford Hot Air Balloon

    And some glorious early morning Irish countryside.

    Hot air ballooning is generally done very early in the morning, or in the hours close to sunset. In this case, I got the nod to fly in the balloon around 6am one morning and that didnt leave much time for breakfast.

    Fear not, as my missis spotted that I could get dangerously hungry so she gave me a little tinfoil covered bundle and a safe pat on the shoulder that said.. everything is going to be fine. You wont starve.

    Longer story shorter... 7:15am, and we're floating silently over the South East countryside with the sun just coming up. I didnt think the moment could get any better.. until I remembered the sausage blaa tucked safely in my bag. With my face covered in flour, and the balloon burners holding us steady... I destroyed that little sausage sandwich blaa in the finest place in Ireland.. 2000ft in altitude looking into an early morning Irish sunrise!

    out the back of my mothers house, at the seating area which sits on a newly laid paving area! any time im home im guaranteed to find at least one family member sitting there, so it must be a good spot!

    Well I think for me it's like the adds show it makes no difference where you eat your Denny sandwich but who you eat it with. So for me 'tis where ever my love is.

    Dublin Airport.

    Prepare your Denny sausage and brown sauce sarnie before leaving the house and you can save yourself a decent few euro while you wait for a flight to somewhere with better weather than Ireland.

    definetely has to be JFK park in Wexford, lovely spot for a picnic and lovely gardens to walk it off in, then also a trip down to Hook head down the road to finish off any leftover picnic remains for the evening :)

    On the steps looking down onto the beach in Ceann Tra (Ventry) on a windy day. You stop there and fill yourself up all the time looking down on the raw beauty of the bay. When you've had you fill head down across the beach let the wind whip you and just take in an Irish holiday as it meant to be.

    I remember returning from my J1 experience, 3 months with the Yanks, and yearning for a sambo, a nice hefty Irish sambo. So, atop the St.Stephens Green Kylemore Cafe, looking out onto the green itself, I lashed into an O'Briens Tripledecker I'd snuck in, under my coat.

    It was only mighty! :D

    I think this thread just proves that Ireland is the most beautiful place in the world! look at all those places to eat a hame sanger! there all beautiful!
    my first place would be in my back garden with family and a nice hot cup a tea on a fine summers evening!!
    But just so everyone can relate I think Curracloe beach is absolutly beautiful! nothing like takin a bite of a a denny ham sanger only to hear the crack of the sand in your mouth and takin a gulp of cold suggary tea out of a flask!! heaven!

    Well realistic the most beautiful and popalur place to enjoy a denny's sandwich or a lovely mouth watering denny's BBQ is the one and only Donadea Forest right ere in Kildare. There is nothing only pure magic there and with a denny'd product really makes life so much worth it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 54 ✭✭hbxutd


    Clogherhead County Louth with the family is a great spot.
    Amazing views, lovely wee harbour, quaint village & good company....not forgetting the ham sandwiches & mug of tae of course :)

    Summer in Dublin

    Memories of a scorching hot day, packed into the back of my dads work hi-ace van with half the kids from our road and stuck in 3 mile tail back all heading to Donabate. "Are we there yet??", think my Dad is regretting taking on the journey already.

    Finally see sight of the beach and driving another 3 miles along the strand to find a perfect parking spot. Unloading the picnic,deck chairs, towels and blankets is left to mam, we are into the water in the blink of an eye, "get back here and put suncream on or you'll get burnt" but mams calls fall on deaf ears. An hour later and soaking wet with sand stuck everywhere we decend on the picnic blanket, all starving. Wrapped up in towels we sit down on the sand, Mam has laid on a feast and thought of everything. Warm TK red lemonade drank from paper cups is washing down the ham sambos that despite mams best efforts still manage to include a few grains of sand...ah the best taste in the world!

    A great place for a Sambo is across from Holles Street Maternity hospital. I love to look at all the proud mammy's, daddy's, new brothers and sisters all holding doors open for each other, beaming about their newborn babies, and trying to hold all the baloons and teddy's. It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling every time (and the sambo is also great)

    it has to be a nice sunny afternoon in Croke park watching the football or hurling!! And a flask of tea too!!

    I asked a young primary school going relative of mine what was the best place in Ireland to eat a sandwich. He pondered a bit, and came up with a classic answer :D

    The best place in Ireland to eat a sandwich is between the prefab and the bike shed because the teachers supervising the children cant see him smuggle in crisps to put into his ham sandwiches!

    So.. do I shop him to the relavent authorities? His school has a no junkfood policy so he could easily get 100 lines.. "I will not smuggle crisps into school to enhance my sandwiches.."

    There you go anyway.. The best place in Ireland to eat a sandwich is between the prefab and the bike shelter. :D
