I’ve heard them called chicken fillet rolls far more frequently.



But the point is that the price would have been displayed at the deli area, expensive or not. Why did he only know the price at the till?

Prices are not necessarily displayed.the idea of a deli is that it is quick. Over six quid for the cheapest bread going, a few cents worth of coleslaw and cheese and a thirty cent bit of soggy Chinese mystery meat is excessive.

It's the breakfast roll for hangovers.

The best hangover cure is a can of cider, then a breakfast roll washed down with another can of cider and then hit the pub and creamy pints of Guinness for a few hours followed by a hot chicken roll packed with nearly every salad available and back to the pub after

I’ve never seen a deli counter without a price list. I think prices are required to be provided. I don’t understand your point about how quick it is. How long does it take to cast your eye over the price list? Chippers are quick too. The pricing is excessive but the consumer can decide whether it’s too much or not. I guess the OP did this but it would have been better to decide that before getting the roll made up.

Dude, you've been consistently moaning throughout the thread, whereas most others are having the banter and enjoying the light hearted nature of it. Seems you are the one with the issue here.

Would you ever stop checking the thread so you can keep summarising it for the rest of us? We can all read.

This thread is like one of those inane rants that used to kick off in the house I stayed in during college about whether chef was better than heinz or Lyons was better than Barrys.

It takes a certain strand of person to get their back up so much about something so trivial.

I disagree. This is my money, and I don't know about you, but I take my money pretty seriously. I didn't pick it up off the ground.

If there's one thing that gets *my* goat, it's an Irish (sorry, but it does seem very typical in our country) ambivalence towards money, as though complaining about overcharging is somehow crass or indicative of poverty. Case in point, someone earlier in the thread said that I was "uncouth".

Personally, I think it's crass to overspend money that you've earned, be that one single euro or one hundred euro. I'll be damned if I'm going to meekishly pay an arbitrary, nonsense price for a chicken fillet roll, even if it is utterly delicious.

A disgusting meal. How anyone would readily eat such swill is beyond me. A baton of something that they call a baguette, that grated cheese that is covered in starch, industrially produced coleslaw that resembles baby vomit, and that breaded chicken that is produced in some former cat food factory in Eastern Thailand.

No wonder the Irish have such problems with obesity.

Tell me about Germany Aongus and let me dream.

I reckon I've had them for lunch three days per week on average for the last 15 years or so :pac:, there have been many hungover or on the beer days where I've had two

Might be time for an oul angiogram.

Not wishing to overspend is fine, chucking down food you ordered but no longer want due to the price in a "I'm not paying for that" manner is crass. No room for recourse or maybe seeing if they made a mistake or finding out how they worked it out, nah, throw it out.

It has nothing to do with how wealthy you are. It's fairly juvenile petulance, especially as it has been mentioned that similar food combos will cost a similar price and probably more expensive from other outlets. If you're that picky about price, which is a valid policy to follow, then be sure to check this out when you're ordering. Basically follow an adult policy of caveat emptor.

Ya but this didn't really happen though did it?

If the thread was simply something along the lines of "chicken fillet rolls - pros and cons" I'd have just said fair enough.

I hate to kill a decent Edgelord buzz an' all an' anyway, but that picture of Dermot Morgan I posted is of him in character as "Harty", a mad Fianna Fail type who would come rampaging onto the set of The Live Mike many years ago and smash the place up with a hurley while ranting about the homosexual tractors or whatever was bothering him. Not Fr. Ted.

I haven’t eaten one in a few years but this thread is giving me cravings. Time to sort that out tomorrow:)

The price list will be displayed at the deli. Which makes sense so that people can decide whether they agree with the prices before having something made up.

I was in SuperValu for lunch today and decided to check this out. No prices on the board for rolls of any kind.

It's still the same meat used in the more expensive rolls today, just a bigger mark up like everything else!

Sure my local butcher does 10 fresh mini fillets of breast for €4. 2 of them would probably make up the size of a fried deli fillet. So 80c a fillet say at consumer prices. Wholesale is probably half that ...and that's 100% Irish chicken breast farmed locally.

A deli fillet from Spar or Centra is probably costing them next to nothing made from processed meat. Even when they were at €2 a roll they're probably doubling their profits. Now making 3 or 4 times that per roll.

Im not sure how true this is for Ireland, but I've read elsewhere that stores use chicken that is due to expire for their deli counters. This may only apply to larger stores and not convenience stores, though.

The same apparently applies to rotisserie chicken in the likes of Super Valu, etc.

11:50 for two sandwiches takeaway on plain Brennan’s white bread with cheap ham and pre grated cheese.

Told the bar man I was going to a hospital to see my mom and dad and didn’t want to buy garrage rubbish at night

Was expecting something a bit more than the way over priced plain sh1t I got.

So if you approach the counter with something you must pay for it?

Mother Ireland is rearing them yet.

I don’t mind people who admit to being too sheepish to complain, that’s probably me, but the idea that you have to buy something regardless of the price or you are a “thief” is evidently thick.
