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. .

If you keep eating like that , you'll lean too far one day and fall over.

I used to like the odd visit to the chipper. They've gone to hell though. The food costs the same as it did 15 years ago, but the quality has taken a nose dive. The vast vast majority of them are buying the same shíte off the same supplier. Lads raving about one chipper being better than the other are talking through their hat.

Places like Bunsen, Super Miss Sue etc have replaced them as the place to go for a treat. Even Supermacs is better than your local 'Italian' chipper these days.

Kebabish in Enniscorthy do a kebab that you could use as a baseball bat and its yum.
For a small enough town we have far too many takeaways though.

Ya, but the food in that chipper is shíte. They are all competing on price with the local chinese serving complete shíte as well. Everything is deep frozen. There's almost nowhere cutting their own chips these days, or battering fresh fish before it goes into the fryer. Unless you go to somewhere like Bunsen or Super Miss Sue.

My dinner tonight in the pic.

To be fair, the English do proper fish and chips, not like the weird frozen squares we get in Ireland (unless you're near a Burdocks, McDonaghs etc).

I haven't eat in chippers much in Dublin lately, but a mate lived near Stillorgan, and the chipper around the corner from him had damn tasty proper chips.

There's four that I'd know of (1 in my home town, 2 in the nearest large town, and 1 in the town I live in now) that cut fresh chips, batter fish, batter sausages blah blah blah.

G'way with your poncy Bunsen.

About once a fortnight for me. Usually a snackbox and cheeseburger, or chips curry and a Quarter pounder.
Was in McDonald's last Saturday for the first time in a long time. Had to make 3 trips to the counter. Large big mac meal, then 2 double cheeseburgers and twisty fries, then a caramel Sundae. I'm convinced there's something in the food that tells your brain you're still hungry.

One of my local chippers does an offer on Wednesday's. €5.50 for a sea fresh cod and chips.A proper lump of a fish and loads of chips.You'd nearly feed 2 people with it.I don't know how anybody could eat those square fish yokes.

branie2 · 09-09-2017 12:46PM

Every Friday, I have a cheeseburger and chips at Supermacs.

What's that green rubbish and why is it all over the chips..

Day Lewin · 09-09-2017 01:01PM

Ravenacious now. Thick chips with salt-n-vinegar, slab of white fish in batter. Onion ring.
Best food in the world for a cold walk home if you've missed the last bus. And no washing-up!
Our street food: perfect.

Don't mind the mushy peas but don't understand having tea with it. A can of coke / orange is my preference.

If you order a fresh cod in any chipper you'll get fish like that. You just don't know how to order food.

I laughed so hard reading that I almost dropped my bag of chip!!

As for the oil, I got chips fried in beef dripping recently, I would eat it of a tramps sandle it's that good!!

Also, forget regular salt, chicken salt is where it's at!!

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"

Ok yes, if we must be pedantic. But said Kebab shop has a full chipper menu, it's not just kebabs.

Also out in the sticks, we don't have that many Ithaca Italian chippers unless you head to the big cities, like Kilkenny........

I've yet to find a decent chipper in the North.

They just can't do chips right.

What chippers still use lard?

All of them use beef dripping (lard)

Some will get drums of oil aswell but they mainly use lard.

Proper chipper onion rings in batter with salt 'n' vinegar!!

You can stick your crispy breaded and frozen American style "onion rings" up yer eh ring.

eoins23456 · 09-09-2017 03:27PM

I'd go every so often for a kebab , or snack box or just a ****load of everything on the menu if I've had a feast of pints

Oranage2 · 09-09-2017 03:35PM

I used to work in a chipper when I was 16 and it turned me off chips so I'd rarely order them. (No malpractice, just ate too many).

Burger or kebab from me as long as the meat is of decent quality and not soon spoongy type crap so chippers do sell.
