Garlic cheese chips & a chicken fillet burger. I have lived in England for the last two years so anything smothered with Garlic sauce really is like heaven to me.

Chicken fillet burgers go wrong too often for me to consider them favourites. Biting in to a gristle lump that takes up maybe a third of the fillet and causes burger-surgery isn't that common but is still too common

When they work, the chicken fillet and cheese burger from, specifically, King Cod in Gorey is where its at. And is 100km away from me annoyingly.

A good curry cheese chips gives me sexual pleasure!!

In no particular order...

A lamb saag with veggie pilau rice from the Indian
A chicken shawarma kebab with proper chunky chips
A proper lamb donor kebab is heaven also, I'm talking real lamb, not that sliced minced up dog meat.
Black pepper beef noodles, especially the ones from Noodle Box in Balbriggan

I'm not a fan of a lot of Chinese stuff as the MSG makes me feel like crap afterwards, it's like poison

I’m finding that lately too. I absolutely love the MSG laden ones at the time but I feel like I’ve been out on a session the next day. Never get that even with an Indian or anything.

A Thai green chicken curry is my absolute fave takeaway.

LeBash · 10-01-2021 11:29am

Salt and chilli spare ribs (on the bone) and a beef in black bean sauce with a mixed veg instead of rice.

Cerveza · 10-01-2021 11:36am

I have a donor kebab recipe cooking away in the slow cooker may be as good as the local chipper which is one of my favourites along with chips, cheese and runny garlic.

Curry is amazing with almost anything but cheese is one of the things that should never go with curry, its like mixing curry and chocolate

salmocab · 10-01-2021 12:00pm

It’s a mood thing
Lamb madras, pilau and naan.
Love a good old chicken curry from the Chinese
Cod and Chips but can be hit and miss depending on the batter.
Local chipper does really good pizza

meggiemegmeg · 10-01-2021 12:12pm

Thai green curry, veggie & cashew nut. Love it.
And from the chipper-a hape of big, thick chips, loads of salt & vinegar. And tea.

I normally order a tub of curry to put over a chow mein. Very tasty.

Chinese - chicken fried rice.

Yes. Want that too.

Tony H · 10-01-2021 3:02pm

chicken chow mein , with chicken curry and fried rice , preceded by and accompanied by cold bottles of Heineken , haven't had it in years because of stomach issues (not caused by this kind of diet ) but I'd kill for one now from the old Yangtze River in Barrack Street in Cork (long closed) .

McGinniesta · 10-01-2021 3:48pm

Chipper chips and batch loaf.

That's my all time favourite too.. sometimes I throw in a tub of sour cream to give it a more Italian edge.

djivide_ · 10-01-2021 4:16pm

some poppadoms with mango dip.
lamb jalfrezi / bhuna
I do like mushroom rice but normally just get pulau as it comes with the main.
and the most important part keema Naan, hands down the best naan in my opinion.

tayto lover · 10-01-2021 4:40pm

Can’t understand the love for pizza.
It’s not bad but it’s the kind of thing I’d be eating while I’m waiting on my dinner to cook.
It’s not a meal to me.

branie2 · 10-01-2021 4:45pm

Plain cheeseburger and chips

I always assumed I was the only one that thought that. You’d be stuffed after one but still feel like you hadn’t had your dinner yet.

fmpisces · 10-01-2021 5:28pm

Any takeaway is good for me as it's a night off cooking

However, the default here is Apache; usually the deal where you get a large pizza, chips, chicken dippers and garlic bread.

silvervixen84 · 10-01-2021 6:38pm

I live in London and haven't been home since Dec 2019 but I guarantee that one of the first things I do when I eventually come home for a visit is to get a breast in a bun with garlic & cheese chips. There's a place in my home town that is unreal, but the ultimate is Hillbilly's or John Graces in Cork city.

I convinced my local kebab shop over here to make me garlic & cheese chips which are great, but it's still not the same as back home.

Nice.

For me I throw in some lasagne sauce. 1 pint of Lasagne sauce to 4 pints of cream. Gives the carbonara a nice edge. Then ham, peas, sweetcorn, mushrooms, diced potato, carrots, turnip.

Sheep Shagger · 10-01-2021 6:54pm

KFC anyone?

If it has to be an old school chipper .....a snack box.

Out of curiosity is there any counties in Ireland without a Supermacs and/or a Mcdonalds ?

Leitrim doesn't appear to have a McDonalds from what Google shows.

I'm fairly sure there is no Supermacs anywhere in either Wicklow nor Cavan (Supermacs tends to be a euro or 2 more expensive for a meal than the other chains. Which probably explains its absence from Cavan :pac::pac::pac: )

Four Phucs Ache · 10-01-2021 8:36pm

As a teenager, circa 96 both parents were out working and on a Wednesday we finished school early.

For a month or 2 I was alone in the house mid day and had chipper chips , battered burgerS and salad cream, with a plate of kerry gold sliced brennan's.

When me ma came home at 5 and and asked what I wanted for dinner, my refusal / lack of a need for food sparked questions of drug use or a smell of my breath.

Even now, in my 40s a plate of salty vinegar covered chips , 1 battered burger , 1 sausage , soft white bread covered in kerry gold and a blob of salad cream.......

Heaven on a plate

funkey_monkey · 10-01-2021 8:48pm

Dansak or pathia with pilau rice and a garlic naan.
I sometimes go to the chipper but I always regret it and wish I home cooked it.

Pathia is sadly all too rare in Indian takeaways in Ireland.

WOW!!!! 7 pages in and not one wanker has come in saying

"I don't eat takeaway food" or "My food is better and I'm healthy blah blah blah"

Gotta be a new record for Boards.

Special Black Bean w/Green Pepper, Singapore Fried Rice, Chips & Noodles

100% nocebo effect. MSG is not in any way harmful.

the kelt · 10-01-2021 11:46pm

Cheese, bacon and taco fries.

Batter burger, rissole and chips with a side of curry sauce.

Kilmore Quay fresh cod and chips as ye sit on the harbour wall batin the seagulls away with your spare hand.

Failing that the ultimate hangover cure, a munchie box from the Chinese.

I recognise people outside of Wexico may not recognise some of the above!

Louis Friend · 10-01-2021 11:48pm

For pizza, Base

For a kebab, Zaytoon

For a burger, Bunsen

And I love an Indian takeaway

Nope. Carbonara is egg, grated Parmesan, pasta water and cooked lardons.

Easy and delicious - no cream needed.

It's even more delicious if you add some cream. Fresh cream is obviously the best but a dash of Heinz salad cream works fine in a pinch. Some peas and grated carrot is nice too and counts towards your five a day.

Porklife · 11-01-2021 12:25am

Agree with the above, I'd even go as far as using mayonnaise if I had no fresh cream or salad cream. I wouldn't use parmesan either, I'd go for feta to add salty goodness.

^This. Porklife has forgotten more than most posters will ever know about porcine-based pasta dishes.

Hellokitty1212 · 11-01-2021 12:32am

I’m anyone’s for proper chipper fish and chips, sea salt added at home and a decent malt vinegar likewise!

5 McDonalds double cheeseburgers.
