    Ethiopian potatoes, Somali-style, with a glaze of German mustard-honey sauce and a garnish of Brazilian salad.

    Great value at only 3.50.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,188 ✭✭✭dee_mc


    Italian
    Indian, Chicken Tikka or Jalfrezi and pilau rice, yuuuum. Throw in a couple of bhagees, pakoras and samosas too. Few bites of Peshwari naan just to bring on the food coma ;)
    Must try some other stuff too though, I'm not very adventurous!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,818 ✭✭✭✭The Hill Billy


    What's the difference between Italian & Pasta? Also, why is Supermacs mentioned as a type of takeaway? Surely it should be lumped in with McDonalds, BK, etc as 'Burger joint'.

    As for my favourites - Fried Chicken (KFC or traditional chipper) or Indian.

    Why is there no option for normal chipper food?

    Thats the Supermacs option. ;)

    I would say Chinese but herself prefers Indian so we always get Indian or Pizza.

    For me, you get a better range of tastes and sensations with Chinese.

    SuperMacs isnt chipper food <shock horror>. I mean Italian Chipper food - snack boxes, chips, battered sausages, proper burgers, spice burgers, battered mushrooms, onion rings etc...

    The one with the nightly specials? I stayed in the hotel there for a week with work and I ate chipper in the room every night. So glad I'm not working there as I'd be the size of a house by now!

    Supermacs:

    Snack boxes - check
    chips - check
    onion rings - check.

    Not sure what you mean by "proper" burgers.

    You are right though, there should be an option for chipper, not an option for one specific brand of burger joint.

    Supermacs chips arent real chips!! And the onion rings arent deep fried battered onion circles! I never had their snack boxes.

    By proper burger I mean a proper meaty burger, not a flattened supermaccy type one. If a burger comes in a polystyrene box its not a proper burger (Ill have to apologise though, my last foray into a supermacs was probably around the time of the last Feile in Thurles so it may be different to how I think it is but to me its just the same as McDonalds or Burger King or anywhere where the food isnt "real")

    Pasta
    I voted for fish and chips, but I love Thai food too. I'm a huge pho fan, but I don't have bowls big enough to hold it so I always eat in.

    In all my years eating KFC (oh, the shame!) I have eaten-in twice. Once in Crumlin in the '70's & recently in Omni in Santry.

    The other significant number of times (considering it is one of my favourites) have been...





    * drum roll for suspense *





    ...takeaway!!!!! :pac:

    Im not comvinced......buy you fill up on that intensively raised battery farmed chicken with its blend of delicious herbs and spices that you have been eating for the the last 40 years 😅

    There is a place in Maynooth that does really nice tapas for takeaway. I'm always surprised tapas aren't more popular as you can get a decent meal for about the same price as a starter and main for two from an indian or thai. Also off topic a little but id like chinese better if they used decent chicken.

    The view must be great from that moral high ground that you are standing on.

    It is not like I fill up on it. Just because it is my favourite does not mean that I eat it every day. KFC - once a year or so, local chipper - maybe every six weeks.

    I would say Thai, although Indian if I'm back home. Kasturi in Lucan is a gem, and I've only ever had good experiences with Thaicoon in Drumcondra, I do love a bit of heat :D

    They are horrible frozen fries, not real chips, they even call them fries. My simple rule is that a "chipper" has real chunky proper chips, usually fried twice.

    Weird how they always ask me "is that for here or takeaway", really strange that, and how you see people walking about with KFC bags, wonder what is in them. And why did you say "either", which suggests other places were said not to be takeaways?

    Camile Thai in Dublin, they use very good ingredients and it's probably the healthiest takeaway going.
