    Vinegar bottles of different colours and plastic forks dangling from a tree made of chips.

    Wonder why they ditched fine Italian cuisine and went in for, well, sh*te food?

    It was too hard to eat fine cuisine while staggering home from the pub.

    oh just had a look at the chipper list there, cant see any that are in town, or are there? if anyone knows
    Thanks!

    The Savoy on Fitzgibbon St would be the only one I think.

    Morelli's in Thomas St, Borza in Christchurch, Bistro on Sth Circular, Mona Lisa in Crumlin, Embassy in Ballsbridge and the Fairview Grill are others close enough to town.

    great idea by the italian chippers association - maybe not as brilliant an idea as Arthurs day but marketing gold nonetheless

    and yes maria salt and vinegar with that please a
    and pop the change in the capucian collection box

    Is the concept confusing?

    Just finished my smoked cod and chips for a massive €3.85. Delicious Valley Cafe as always.

    Do people actually call fish and chips a 1 and 1?

    A Dublin thing


    They also order a single
    Or a curry chip

    Dubs are strange

    I've heard a bag of chips being called a 'single' before but never heard of 1 and 1.

    Only 2 places in Galway doing it. Debating whether I want to deter from my healthy eating plan or not :D

    Lets go to Ireland and sell potatoes to the Irish

    I bet those Italians got a few sniggers when they told people of their plans

    I had to go google this
    They sure don't have this in Galway or the Midlands


    Standard bun, standard extras but they batter the burger

    That's just wrong
    Must everything get battered :confused:
