    A chipvan??? Is that the real thing or a name for an expensive restaurant serving grub in paper bags? When i was young we relied on chip vans in the vast council estates of west Dublin before bricks and mortar stuff went up. I even remember a chinese takeaway in a van. WTF were we eating.

    yep chipvan in town its been there 25 odd years and the call it the munch box :)

    I hear you! But I do have a story where the terms got lost in translation. I was in Birmingham and in a so called "Irish" Pub. No Irish staff behind the bar at all, which is the norm. I'm sitting at the bar suppin a pint when in walks a fellow countryman. He looks at the food menu and decides to order. Along comes a young English girl to take his order. I'll have the Fish and Chip he says. I understood completely. But the young English girl looks at him in complete dismay. Wha! she says. He repeats it. Fish and Chip. So this confused lass asks him if he wants Fish with just one Chip! The Irish lad looked at her and asked if she was taking the piss. She wasn't. I intervened and sorted it out.

    As for the poster who gave you grief over a very Irish term. Fook em!

    LOL! I remember the manky crap served up in Nighclubs. That's how they had the late License. But even in Dublin, there was always a chipvan outside for a decent post pints/shift feed. I always bought her at least a bag of chips!:D

    Fook it Bassy, I'm home and having a Heineken. Chip vans are great! Spent so many of my younger years getting a treat takeaway from a Chip Van. However I'm certain we'll be in a small group talking about it. "Vans" are all posh nosh these days.:D

    Far be it from me to lower the tone but... years ago around here if a "beour" questioned her fellas feelings for her he'd say "Course I loves ya.. Don't I ##`s ya, don't I buys ya chips? 😜

    Buying Chips solved everything apparently.:D From a van outside some shIIty nightclub was extra special. Nowadays the "van" is some over priced catering vehicle at a festival. Best van chips I ever had was in the mid to late 80s in Carlow at the Monday market.

    Still drinking common lager tonight.:D One more day of work to try and satisfy the faceless fooking morons in office blocks.:( I find it easier on the road. A lot less hassle and some fun. I made Bun Burgers earlier. Little G.had a normal burger, but Mrs, G had a double cheese burger. Fries on the side and served in a basket.
