Chicken Fillet Rolls ?

The show is called ‘What are you Eating’. I’d say it’s on the player.

Even the grated cheese they use on the rolls has been bulked up with crap.



To be honest, I was getting sick of eating them before I saw the “show”. Just made it easier to cut them out.

It’s hard to avoid the crap “meat” regardless of what you ordering. The ham is just as bad, if not worse.

That grated cheese you get in delis has been bulked up with either soy or potato powder. It’s why it has that slightly chalky feel, and why it tastes nothing like cheese.

I’d still prefer it over the meat slurry slices in Subway though.

Any time I'm partaking in deli food these days I opt for a wrap instead of a roll .
Less heavy, especially if going back to work afterwards.

I was conflicted by all the chat above.

Got onto Just Eat but nobody delivering chicken rolls at this time of the morning.

Ordered 2xFull Irish Breakfast Pita's and a Falafel wrap instead.
Will see how that goes.

There’ll be someone woke along in a while to tell us that chicken fillet rolls are only for working class fat knacks to gobble down, I’m shocked it hasn’t happened already tbh...

They're for working class fat knacks who don't think about where their food comes from. And college students, and young people in general.

That lads meant looking head and mouthful of marbles is far more offensive than any mechanically recovered meat.

I used to go to Subway fairly regularly. I won't go again in Ireland as you cant get a full fat drink,it's ****ing ridiculous

They don't do them over here. Sandwich places will do a chicken escalope alright which I think is the same thing, just bashed into a flat shape. The scam is then that they only give a few slices of it in your sandwich/bad/roll* instead of the whole thing, "that'll be £6 guvnor".



*I'm still not used to the fact that what we call a roll is not what they call a roll and what they call a roll is not a roll, it's a bun if anything.

Was that not because of the sugar tax? I think they get charged more for selling fat drinks so they decided to use that opportunity to make it look as though they were being healthy rather than being business savvy

The sugar taxis is an add on of 15c,it's on your receipt in places like McDonald's for example. In Subway they don't give you the option and only have sugar free drinks (both bottled and fountain) I don't drink fizzy drinks often but if I'm having a fast food meal ill have a coke or sprite not a ****ing sugar free cherry Pepsi!

This may we’ll be true but it shouldn’t be too much to ask that the chicken in the fillet be chicken breast and not shaped from a sludge of “reclaimed” meat.

Boucher-Hayes covered how they make the chicken fillet on his “food” show. It was not pretty

he did. i saw it at the time. very interesting. here it is:

Crock Rock

Fresh white roll, no butter or mayonnaise, plain chicken fillet, jalapeños, stuffing, streaky bacon

EmmetSpiceland

When did mayonnaise become the standard in rolls and sandwiches? I can’t stand the stuff but all the “pre-made” sandwiches have it instead of butter.

Pre-made sandwiches are a sign of the decline and downfall of western civilisation.

I can remember chicken and stuffing premade sandwiches having mayo in the mid 90s, so you're harking back to a long gone era methinks

Doesn't bother me. I like it that way. Washed down with a mug of tae. I'd very rarely have one. The odd treat.

First of all I am as working class as it gets. People from Dublin’s “inner cihy” seem to think they have a monopoly on being working class in Ireland for some reason. They seem totally ignorant to the fact that there are people who work in factories or shops “down the country” as well.

You seem to really have a problem with Dublin people, you should try to let that go and realise that you can't tar a whole 1.odd million people with the same brush, especially given they're only living down the road from wherever it is you are from. Go and get yourself a ray and chips and think happy thoughts.

True but they also taste manky. People who eat them every day need to get their taste buds tested

Is it cheaper than butter? I can’t understand the “reasoning” if it’s not.

Butter tastes better and, I’d hope, it has a longer “shelf life”. Mayonnaise is muck.

Sounds like it might be “shop by shop”.

From what I can gather it sounds like “head office” wants them gone to lower the “calorie count” of the menu.

I was given some of the drums as buckets and still have one in use. They are great.

Hate mayonnaise anyway

Don’t be buying these rolls for myself but the last 2 days I had to get them for the young lad after sports events .
He’s a very basic eater so wanted a white roll with chicken fillet , nothing else not even butter . It was a large white roll but one cost 4 euro and in a different centra one was 4.20 .
Seemed like a lot to me for a basic chicken fillet roll , it seems entirely up to who’s serving you what’s keyed in . These delis are obviously where the money’s been made in these shops . Any thoughts ?

Its a hard life for sure. Thoughts and prayers. save all those 20 cents and this time next year we'll be a millionaire Rodney.

What sort of bull are you taking. They are employed to make sandwiches what difference does it make to them putting on a a few extra filling and why would I not ask for what I want on my sandwich when paying for it?

I can’t see how it the same as going in with coins, I quickly say what I want as I know, I’m not standing there pondering what to put on next.

Go in and pay good money for a sandwich that doesn’t meet my needs, what fool does that? How many filling should you be “allowed”?

Was in Birr the other day in a petrol garage which would be the least modern of them out the Tullamore road.

Chicken fillet roll,butter,tomatoes,lettuce.4 euro

I said "can you put a little sprinkle of sweetcorn on it please",
He said "can do, but that will be 50c extra".
I said "you can keep the lot,thanks".

That's just greed.

I don’t know how deli workers feel about it but the worst ***** for customers are the ones who keep asking for something else when they hand the last thing to them. They’re lucky we don’t go around armed here.

That's annoying but asking for all the salad items at once and having the deli kid throwing a strop because he has to do his job is another issue.

4 euro for a chicken roll is expensive? ah here, when I was working on sites around 2006 they were 3.60 so I think 4 euro isnt all that bad in fairness, you know the shop has to pay electricity, insurance, staff wages, council rates, etc they arent just selling rolls from the boot of a car on the side of the road.

same thing in the US - depending on where you are it can be a hoagie, a roll, a sub, a hero, a wedge or a grinder .

I stopped going to Subway when they insisted on toasting my order even though I specifically ask for it not to be toasted. Also for getting the 'eyes' for asking for mayo on first :pac:

Are you taking about the breaded fillets on these deli counters? If so, they’re usually whole muscle, not reconstituted meat. The diced chicken will be what you’re talking about.

Had the difficult decision this morning of Chicken Fillet roll or Breakfast roll...

After much pondering went with the former.

I don't regret my decision
