    Spizzico - Italian pizza slices. Compared to good Italian pizzas it's muck but to anything else it's absolutely divine.

    Pret a Manger would get a thumbs up also.

    Hungry Jacks's. Most will say it's just the Aussie name for Burger King but the burgers and fries actually taste better.

    I like their root beer too. You can get it in a few different places at least in Dublin.

    I think we have enough of these places, I don't object to them, its all choice in the end.

    I do object to so many them been on O Connell street. That is suppose to be Irelands's number one street but to spite the investment in it, it still looks a mess.

    IHOP and Panda Express

    +1 for both of these but especially panda express I think it would be so popular here, cheap quick Chinese food that is so good!!

    Steak and Shake. Proper burgers and shakes, amazing!

    IHOP. Had the most amazing breakfast there, didn't eat until 9 that night. Plus I hear they are open 24/7. It would be amazing after a night out!!

    I think we should be giving fast food chains back, not acquiring new ones.

    Let's start with Subway.


    Let's start with shut the hell up!

    Are you well in the old head department at all, subway is bloody lovely. I need a subway fix at least once a week and it's turned into my favourite hangover food too!!

    Such coincidences are not uncommon.

    McDowells for example.

    I like their spicy chicken wings . Plus when you pay the tip let it ''accidentally'' slip out of your hands to the floor and get a free view when she bends over to pick it up ;)

    Do not see the attraction of the place at all, I think their food is horrible.

    Did we not have Pret a Manger? Again back in the 90s. There was a British chain on Stephen's Green that did fancy sandwiches (where Insomnia is now). Nice edible stuff tho (not like Subway :pac:).

    What the fuck are Portugese people eating then?

    Chicken with tabasco sauce mostly. They call it Piri Piri and are strangely proud of it.

    Jimmy John's.

    A bit like Subway but nicer. Fresh handmade sandwiches made to order in 30 seconds.

    Sounds a bit quick tbh.

    It's basicly a parsley sauce. I love it, the missus would rather stick pins in her eyes than eat any of it.

    Yes, I often had pie, mash and liquor in the cafe on Chapel Mkt, Islington in the 70s. I always thought that marrowfat peas were the main ingredient?
