    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.

    Iskanders ftw

    limnam, those mushy peas were first put in to make a dinner box in Lennox's Cork AFAIK.
    Maybe they brought that across from Leeds.
    I'd say very few of you are actually getting cod, when you order fish n' chips.

    Do you like chipper food


    Absolutely love chipper food. Has to be a quality chipper obviously. Love Raymond and chips.
    If I were to be executed tomorrow and granted a last meal I go meeting my maker with a belly full of chip butties

    What chippers still use lard?


    I thought most do. Lard being healthier than oil

    A good battered snickers goes well with a taco cheese garlic chips

    I like a battered sausage, providing the batter conceals the outside of the sausage, which nearly always looks whiter than Niall Horan and often puts me off completely. Sometimes there's a tear in the batter which reveals the true colour of your sausage and it's just grim.

    Why do you say "chip"? Like "garlic cheese and chip" or "fish and chip"? Its chipS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    If i worked in a chipper and someone said "give me an XXX and chip" id give them one f*ckin chip!

    when i was a kid id always see my mom order chip singular and i used to get so worried and tell her to change it and say chipS instead incase the chipper only gaves us one little chip inside our bag

    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.

    Macari's I believe. Good spot.

    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.

    G'way with your poncy Bunsen.

    You're not looking in the right places Rumpy.

    That fish is caught in the morning off the south coast of Cork and dipped in batter in front of you a few hours later.

    The only time I'll eat a takeaway is after a night out. 2 burgers from the chip van after a good few gallons of stout and you're winning.

    Chips from a chipper are one of the nicest foods in the world in my opinion. With Heinz ketchup. Add in a battered fresh cod or some chicken tenders and you've got yourself some delicious slop!

    And on a road to obesity, no wonder the health service is at a strain with everyone eating fatty foods.

    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!

    Scran.

    I'd take 2000s obesity epidemic over 2010s vain-douchebag-Instagram-user epidemic. Way fewer obese people now than a decade ago.

    KC's is the job.


    One night many moons ago. It was just before xmas and I had been working in a bar in town. We got finished early enough,2am or so and I got a taxi back home (I was living up Maryborough Hill at the time) As we were passing through Douglas I saw the lights on in KC's so I told the taxi driver to leave me off there. Alas just as I approached, the door was closed and locked.

    I knocked on the glass and explained that I had just finished work and was there any chance of a few chips? There was a flurry of activity inside and I saw them scoop everything they had already cooked into a big bag, then the door opened and they handed it to me and wouldn't take any money.

    I walked up that hill eating the biggest bag of chips, burgers and potato cakes and then it started to snow. Merry xmas everyone and God bless you KC's

    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.
    Don't know how you came to that conclusion.

    Very few order in pre cut chips. Generally indian/chinese takeaways or restaurants. We deliver to over 200 takeaways and aside from the above mentioned they all cut their own

    Popped into Beshoff's beside Baggot St bridge yesterday & had the best chips I've tasted in years - all crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside & not a hint of grease about them.

    My only previous experience of Beshoff's was manky chips in a manky shop on Westmoreland St. in the mid-90s, but those I had yesterday were phenomenally good.

    There's still a beshoffs on O'Connell Street Dublin

    The one you speak of looks to be under the brand beshoff bros, as are shops in howth and clontarf etc

    I remember the one in O'Connell Street used to sell you bread and butter,to have with your chips and fish

    They'd have 2 slices of bread with little pats of butter and cling film wrapped around them, a sort of personal touch!

    I must try them all out, again

    I was over in the music forum and I heard people talking about chips. There’s something about chips from the aul chipper, with the right mix of vinegar.... Christ nothing like it. I have to have garlic mayo obviously.
    Hungry now.

    Honestly, I don't think you can beat a battered sausage, chips and and curry sauce for dipping.

    Maybe with a tin of Lilt if you're feeling fancy.

    Had half a meat-feast pizza, a cheeseburger and garlic chips from the local chipper last week. Man they were good, didn't lose the bloated feeling until 10pm the following night! :o
