What's your order in the chipper?

Toto Wolfcastle

Snack box.

But sometimes all I want is cheap, plasticky cheese burger.

This thread made me get chips for my lunch.

Lot of pollock around, whitefish like cod but suspiciously "mushy". Cod is overfished, apparently.

more than likely its Coley

Often, yes. Actually the two are first-cousins and the Americans usually use the term "pollock" to describe coley as well.

Ah will ye all feck off. Chippers, chinese and tayto are what I can't have living abroad :mad:

Either a snack box or chips and chicken nuggets. Sometimes with curry sauce or garlic mayo in a tub. Those would be my usual orders.

Sometimes, I'll go for a burger or fish. Haven't been to chipper in yonks though, trying to stay healthy. When I do treat myself though, it'll be fúcking SWEET!

Maybe I'm missing out here, but a pal of mine regularly goes for stuff like Garlic Cheesy Chips, which just seems like an overly gloopy & fast-congealing sludgefest.

The accompanying sound effects don't help either tbh.

Joe Normal here will happily devour a Cod n' Chips.

I need to stop reading food threads when I'm out of the country

A good cod or ray n chips is hard to beat.

But so many places are not using real cod.....anyone notice that?

Its usually some grey tasteless sh1t, don't get me wrong, edible after a glass or two of sherry, but not in the cold light of day.

Jaysus, you wouldn't know what to be telling Jenkins to bring up from the cellar:D

Two cheese burgers and a cup of tea!

Deranged96

stuffing, peas and gravy chip with a chicken fillet burger, coke, onion rings and a battered mars bar.
Get it about once a month and promptly fall into a food coma.
I always feel like I'm being judged when I order it :pac:

That'll do wonders for your concentration on a golf course.

Long time since i tasted real cod in a chipper

There were DNA tests done a year or so ago, the vast majority of "fresh cod" is cod, the vast majority of "smoked cod" is not cod. I think both were in the 90%'s

I expect if its smoked it masks the fish more so they chance it more.

Quarter Pounder done like a cheese burger, sausage in batter and chips. Loads of sore finger. Yum

Whurley Burger


Nah, not really, that sh!t would kill you before you finish it!


Over here, if I don't get a chicken shish, I stick with a doner meat and chips - they really don't do the other usual stuff well.

I'm back in Dublin on Thursday and the first thing I'm doing is hitting the Borza to get a proper battered sausage and a proper quarter pounder. . . the chips go without saying!

Badly Drunk Boy

Curry chips and a fillet of cod, más é do thoil é!

I don't go to the chipper much these days but that would be my most likely order. Otherwise, forget about the curry, and replace with a few bottles of vinegar.

dgt

Quarter pounder meal, everything on it and a can of cola

jimgoose

Oh, I nearly forgot. There's a little Chinese takeaway near me as well, and sometimes I go in there for Beijing-style crispy half-duck. No sauce, no nothing, just duck. They're used to me now, but the expression on the face of the Chinese lady who owns the place was priceless the first time. "Dry duck? Dry duck?? No sauce??" "Yes, that's right. Couple of birdshot pellets in there if you have 'em, us country fellas like the bit of crunch. But pure unadulterated duck otherwise!"

I wonder if the chipper consumption of boards users today will increase as a result of this thread......

I can almost smell the vinegary goodness....

just chips with lashings of vinegar and a sprinkle of salkt for me thanks, I am fierce boring but like to dedicate myself to savouring the chips as its on such a rare occasion that i have them!

The Rabbit

It's been a long time since I've eaten anything from a chipper.

Probably eat a slice of pizza out of one if I was on the beer and there was no other option.

Warper

Snack box with a breast and curry sauce. Might throw in a sausage as well depending how hungry i am

tastyt

I like a nice leg of fish

super_furry

Batter sausage and chips if the mood takes me.

Angry_Mammarys

Either a breast in a bun, and chips curry and mushy peas from Lennoxes , Or a smoked cod and chips, lots of salt and vinegar!

The first, and possibly only, time I went to a chipper in England, I asked for fish and chips. What's the deal with them contaminating the whole plate with mushy peas? I didn't ask for mushy peas as they are disgusting to taste, smell, or even look at!

Forgive my ignorance, but what in the name of Valenti, is a Whurley burger? is that the sound it makes when its coming back up?:eek:

endacl

Bottle of water.

Usually I go with a snack box with a coke. I used to love the chips in Roberto's in Sligo but too often they were under cooked so I stopped going there.

It's made from the ground-up meat of the Whorley, a semi-mythical beast that roams the mountains of Wesht Kerry and is said to be half-llama, half-goat and half-Jackie Healy-Rae. Or it could just be a regular hamburger made with a batterburger instead of the usual pattie. :pac:

Follow up study by Prof. Stefano Mariani of the University of Salford in January 2014 found 41.7% of Fish sold as Cod in the Dublin chippers sampled came from another species.

http://phys.org/news/2014-01-cod-mislabelling-eradicated-dublin-supermarkets.html

The original study showed 82% of smoked Cod & Haddock were mislabelled.

“We tested samples of fish products labeled as either ‘cod’ or ‘haddock’ from randomly selected retail outlets from within ten postal districts across Dublin. Within each district, we selected two samples from each of: two ‘fish and chip’ shops, two fresh fish counters, and four samples (two frozen, two packaged fresh) from each of two supermarkets.”

Using DNA barcoding, the scientists genetically identified that 25% of all samples (or 39 out of 156) labeled and sold as ‘cod’ or ‘haddock’ were from entirely different fish species, and were therefore considered mislabeled under EU regulations. When the sample only included smoked fish products labeled as cod and haddock, the mislabeling reached 82%.
