The Irish Mirror today has an article outlining the best chippers in Ireland - and out of 16, I've been to 4 of those (KC's in Cork, Macari's in Glasnevin, Jackie Lennox's in Cork and McDonagh's in Galway). After mentioning this on the Early Breakfast, listeners were quick to text in with their favourite chippers - it's never too early to talk about hot, salty, vinegary chips clearly...
Everyone has their own favourite local chipper (Grace's Take-Away in Piltown, Co. Kilkenny is mine and it has thee nicest chips ever, okay? Okay.)
Here's the list!
The Valley Cafe in Navan - magic chips all from freshly peeled spuds! Navanman
Sillan Fries Shercock Co. Cavan. Best burgers and twisters in Ireland. Sarah
- What are Twisters? - Paula
Adrianos in Ashford is always great - super flaky cod and they always throw in a few free chips...that's my way to judge a chipper! Cheers. Ken Warren, Wexford
Donkey Fords Chippy in Limerick - if it’s not on the list, it should be! Rob
@sweetpmac Caffollas in Castlebar UNREAL!

Hey Paula, loving the show! My friends tell me my chips are the best ever - I triple cook them and they are so good. I even have a special seasoning for them! Why don't you come over some Saturday night and sample them for yourself? Ollie from Galway x (um, okay Ollie – I’ll head over and sample your special seasoning!)
Paula The Golden Fry in Cork. Their potato pies are legendary. So soft it's like eating clouds :) Ger in Cork
