    Ireland's most-ordered-while-drunk-and-want-it-now from a junk food delivery service ≠ Ireland's favourite food.

    Necessarily.

    Salt and chilli chips & (usually) crispy chicken strips. With some chilli and onion. In a bag. Spicy. In a bag. Spice. Bag?

    Very sad indictment of this country’s “culinary” tastes if MSG loaded over cooked frozen chips and some manky rubbery chicken and a few veg is our new national dish.

    I don’t think it’s fair to say that our new national dish is a spice bag based off a just eat survey :p

    We all know that if they looked at every type of food we eat through out the day it'd be a chicken fillet roll ;)

    It’s JustEat. If it wasn’t a spice bag it would be pizza or taco fries.
    Ireland’s favourite fast food would be a more fitting thread title.

    Or Justeat.ie top selling product of all takeaway's

    Hardly fast food I have often waited a long time for food ordered from a takeaway

    Now Mcdonalds, KFC, Burgerking or even any deli...
    They are fast food and Id say chicken fillet rolls outsell spice bags everyday. just not many places offer these on just eat... and if they do its a rubber reheated roll and chicken from a TAKE AWAY.

    Well, people are hardly going to be overwhelmingly ordering fine cuisine through JustEat. So it's literally not Ireland's favourite anything, just the most ordered item on one takeaway service.

    Spice Bags are grand though from some places....others they just pour on way too much seasoning.

    Spice bags are excellent. Certainly better than the stuff the "loike totes MSG oh my gawd" brigade try to pass off as edible.

    It's Just Eat, a service for people too lazy to even pick up a phone and ring in their order, what did people expect it's most ordered food to be? Beluga Caviar and Foie Gras?

    That said a Spice Bag made from decent ingredients is fantastic, impossibly rare outside the odd place though as any place that serves half decent food won't stoop to serving a spice bag.

    Why would you ring someone when you don't have to? Would speaking to some twat make the food up to higher standards or something?

    Home made chips in an air fryer
    Special "Breadcrumb" chicken strips in the grill
    Fry up peppers and onions
    Put chips and chicken into the same pan with peppers and onions when cooked and put some spice bag seasoning over the top and stir.

    Takes about 10/15 minutes and tastes better than the ones from the takeaway.

    You can do what the wife does, it sounds disgusting but it works really well.

    Smash(processed mashed potato) with some spices and beaten eggs.
    Use the smash in place of breadcrumbs.

    OP, do you mean Dublin's favourite food?

    Because this shíte is not very popular outside of the capital as far as I can see. Most of the country probably dislike it purely because of the Dublin association. :pac:

    I think that should be 'chewy chicken strips' from the few times I sampled them. I never ordered one myself. The chicken is as bad as (or probably is) shredded chicken strips.

    Anyway, it doesn't claim to be Ireland's favourite food, just the winner of Just-eat's National Takeaway Awards.

    I love a Xmas dinner done properly.. but a spice bag with curry sauce is much nicer than even that, I only eat them occasionally but when I do it's extra portion of chicken balls and curry sauce. Give me this over a 4 star restaurant meal any day, there heavenly. I done care how there made, taste is all that matters and I have good taste buds

    How could anyone think that the most ordered fast food is “Ireland’s favourite food”, really people, get a grip.

    It’s currently a popular take away dish, that’s as much as can be said.

    Ringing someone on a phone is just a service for people who are too lazy to sit down and write a letter. Technology sucks.

    Did they say that it’s the most ordered? Because I did they survey and it was a list of maybe 5 or 6 dishes to choose from as your favourite dish. Don’t think it asked which one you order most often.

    I’ve seen all manner of judgemental nonsense on boards but this is the winner. It takes as much effort to order via Just Eat than to ring the takeaway. So how is using Just Eat to order the lazier option? :confused:
