I am finally back in Ireland, all sorts of married and honeymooned! We spent 3 weeks in Jamaica and then a few nights in Toronto on the way home. I have loads of food photos - will go through them this week and post some. I can safely say my new favourite foods are lobster and jerk chicken. I ate them until they were coming out of my ears.

Trying to catch up on all things Boards now - there's a lot to see! Your Xmas dinners look amazing.

Bonus non-food pic... I met Jamaican Santa on Christmas day!

There's obv a market out there for the good ol crisp sammidge! Imagine the tourists tryin to get their head around that! "Oh gee you irish are crazy!"

Someone was thinking along the same lines. A crisp sandwich café has opened in Belfast

£3.95?! :eek:

I think I'd rather go into a deli and get 2 slices of buttered bread and then buy a package of crips meself.

MissFlitworth · 12-01-2015 08:20PM

I think that crisp sandwich shop photo is crisp sandwich shop photoshopped. Just with the 'bagel & lox' on the menu & the loaves of bread as big as yer man's head. I could be wrong though but hopefully the prices & truly bizarre crust fee are the figment of the 'graphics persons' imagination

Seems quite possible, as this was posted on Twitter:

£3.95 is a bit steep!

Is it though, when it's served with soup and chips? Looks like a decent feed:

MissFlitworth · 12-01-2015 08:57PM

I'm having a crisp sandwich for lunch tomorrow. TWO crisp sandwiches January be damned.

heldel00 · 12-01-2015 09:24PM

^^^ Hon ya mad yoke ya!!! I might actually join ya! Two fingers to you January!

Gloomtastic! · 12-01-2015 09:26PM

MissFlitworth · 12-01-2015 09:46PM

I'm hoping the option to add 'sauce' to your crisp sandwich is fake in the 98fm photoshopped looking photo. I'm imagining brown or ketchup and I'm getting the serious texture squicks

Called around to my folks yesterday.
Found my 88 year old dad (who was extremely unwell, incapacitated, confused and off his food in early December) preparing homemade chicken Kiev for their evening diner!

Bought breadcrumbs, though.
Slipping standards!

The Hill Billy · 13-01-2015 12:55AM

Happy days, tbr!

kylith · 13-01-2015 08:43AM

Why would you want chips with a crisp sambo? "Hi, I'd like some carbs and fat with my carbs and fat please".

I told my brother to marry his now wife on the basis of her crisp sandwich - she'd had a Meanie blaa for breakfast the first time I met her and I told him she was a keeper.

Hi all,

Picked up the free Tesco magazine the other day and it's really good for a freebie. Lots of interesting dishes in.

Sounds awesome. I think that might be my motto from now on.

it's surprisingly good to be honest & gives cost and calorie info per portion.

Oh i'm not drinking any of that green shíte or doing anything like that. Just cut out dairy, wheat and any of the other good stuff for 5 days. It's just to get me used to eating clean again.
