    Try using a naan bread.

    The whole point is to cut out the bread (as much as possible) - I had this 'pizza' in Bangkok and fell in love with it. Suits me, anyway.

    People are saying greasy batter like it's a bad thing.

    It is! The best chipper chips are fried in oil without the oil impregnating the chips. The oil has to be the right temperature. Just a light coating of oil please. Greasy batter is sickening stuff.

    Saying "naan bread" is just saying bread twice

    Fond of using a wrap myself, just making a suggestion of an alternative. Poached chicken sounds gross though.

    I'm going to try the Naan next time i'm in a carb mood, cheers for the suggestion :o

    The poached chicken isin't gross. Well, it is when it's only poacked. Once poached, it's then pulled and mixed with plenty of herbs / spices and left to marinate (I know, marinating usually done before cooking) - Weirdly enough, if I pick a bit to eat straight from the bowl, it's nice.

    I just can't imagine being easily able to pull chicken if not poached.

    Sheet of puff pastry. Eggwash it and bake it for 5 minutes on high. Then put your toppings on. Thats another one to try.

    Spice bag pizza now, that'd be class.

    The acidity of the tomatoes enhances the piquancy of both base and toppings regarding a pizza.

    . Never heard of it. Sounds awful. Chips? And Spices? That's just wrong on so many levels.

    Do they still serve chips with lasagne in Ireland?

    I explained it to a restaurant owner here in Germany - he laughed at the idea.

    I guess if they want to order it, why not?

    Do they normally order spuds (mashed, boiled, etc.) with Spaghetti Bolognese in Ireland?

    It’s a thing from a Chinese takeaway, most probably haven’t and the survey from 2 years ago was by a food delivery crowd. The sniggering and feeling superior is laughable it’s a fast food thing nothing more.

    You mean that stinky sausage - that's French cuisine surely?

    You might have in mind Saumagen, which doesn't sound unappetising to me (never tried it though).
