    Do you like food from the chip shop.
    I rarely go to the chip shop
    I got some ray (fish) for dinner
    Given its quality I was convinced why I don't go to the chipper much

    It was horrible
    It was the size of a shoe but was mostly inedible

    Do you like chipper food

    Yeah. Mostly after a few pints of Guinness. I get a fish 'n' chip with garlic dip, or else maybe a gravy, peas & chip, with a half pounder. Good scram!

    Chips!

    Loads of salt and vinegar please.

    Stick your finger tip into the corner at the end of the bag and get the last crispy vinegar soaked chip.

    Proper malt vinegar, that stains the chips.

    Away with the distilled and watered down nonsense, that just washes the salt of the chips.

    Preempting the Corkonians by mentioning KCs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,547 ✭✭✭Agricola


    Local Turkish chipper cooks everything in veg oil as opposed to lard. Chips are pretty crispy and dry, like you'd make them at home. The bag isnt soaked in grease. Generally not nearly as stodgy as the fare at your typical chipper.

    This is all stuff I reiterate to myself when I'm chowing down on a dirty quarter pounder n' chip!

    Because chips are always congregating in a large group. They aren't solitary. Like sheep. You never heard anyone say; "Look at all the sheeps in that field there"

    These threads always make me hungry.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 62 ✭✭bluewizard


    Yes.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,647 ✭✭✭lazybones32


    I like eddie rockets but am not a fan of fast food generally. Too much salt; no substance. That said, our local Turks and Paki's do excellent chips but i don't eat their chicken or burgers. I'd marry their kebabs though.

    The plural of a sheep is sheep. The plural of a chip is chips.:confused:

    Chipper wouldn't be my first choice if I was getting a takeaway, I usually lean towards pizza, grilled chicken burger with onion rings (which essentially is chipper okay but the place near me is way too good to just be that)

    Anyways, I do love a nice taco chip. The works, mince, pepper, mushroom etc.

    Or a bag of chips with salt and vinegar, with ketchup does me nicely!

    gone mad for fresh onion rings though. Don't know what restaurants etc that have onion rings on their menu are doing with their pre packed- frozen ones, doesn't exactly take that long to throw together some flour and water and deep fry em.

    What chippers still use lard?

    My usual is a chicken burger and 2 battered sausages, no chips. I get them from one particular chipper. The other 2 chippers near me don't do the battered sausages right.

    Doner Kebab tray with loads of lettuce onions and mayo from the local :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,880 ✭✭✭razorgil


    a couple of deep fried spice burgers, you can just feel your cholesterol going up.....mmmm,


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,432 ✭✭✭willmunny1990


    Like it a bit too much to be honest!

    I love a good burger, you often find the best burgers hidden away in greasy spoons in little villages/towns.

    I usually only go for the burger but most of these places will throw in a nice shake of chips to go with it, all drownded in salt and vinegar!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,756 ✭✭✭demanufactured


    Man I love a good kebab..
    Mounds of spicey doner meat, lettuce, onion, garlic sauce, chilli sauce, all wrapped up in a garlic naan... Pack that into ya... Then shyte it out the next day.

    Not mad on chipper food but last time I was back in Blighty I had rock n chips - 'twas amazing and everything I hoped it would be.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,372 ✭✭✭✭branie2


    I do. They're very tasty


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,967 ✭✭✭Hande hoche!

    Don't think many of the chippers use animal fat these days. Various vegetable oils.
