There must be someone who does these properly. I tried a couple of them years back because it looked good. Jaysus what a waste of money. Delicacy? I understand the Scots do deep fried Mars bars, though it not something that ever tempted me.

DFMB are vile. Utterly vile.
Chicken Fillets on the other hand are delish
WOD
TACO SAUCE BABY YEAH!!!

Chicken fillet on white baguette with a bit of mayo and tomato relish and swiss cheese and lettuce.
Sorted.

If only you knew what that ‘chicken’ really is

His name was Barry. And he was afraid of nothing.

The chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) is a domesticated fowl, a subspecies of the red junglefowl. As one of the most common and widespread domestic animals, with a population of more than 24 billion in 2003,[1] there are more chickens in the world than any other species of bird. Humans keep chickens primarily as a source of food, consuming both their meat and their eggs.
Please excuse me while I empty the contents of my belly.
You work there? lol

To be fair, while there is a lot of ingredients, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with pretty much all of them. The only thing of any real concern there is the phosphates and I’d imagine they’re only gonna cause you any hassle if you’re eating like 6 chicken fillets a day.
Lan
Yep, all of it is perfectly safe to eat.
On the other hand if you order chicken you really should be getting chicken…
rotide
As has been noted, what’s wrong with those ingredients?

‘chicken’

Have to say I wasn’t expecting it to contain as much pea fibre as it does.
Joe the Lion
May contain chicken
jojo
Its just gym mats coated with saw dust fried in old engine oil.
Now im off for homepathic treatment to cure my cancer, if people only knew that eating herbs and yogo can cure anything
Ray
I had a lady in Spar try to cut in half before I got a chance to add cheese or lettuce. The nerve!!!!
Also, why is the price so inconsistent for the same sandwich in different Spars. In one I get charged € 4.40 and in another it fluctuates between €4.60 and € 4.80???
Mani
Well Ray, tis simple really. The staff are trained to tell the kind of customers who use exclamation marks excessively and overcharge them accordingly. Some are better than others at sensing this. Hence the disparity in prices.
Custo
The price is calculated by weight.
Atticus
If you’re a fat bástard you get charged more.
Skeptik
4.60? You should be so lucky. Out in suburbia, they’re around the 6 euro mark.
Spars are franchises, owners can set their own prices. The more competition around, the lower the price.
Rob_G
Do the Centras around Westmoreland St. still have really cheap chicken fillet rolls? – they used to charge only €1.97 or something like that, while everywhere else in town was about twice as dear (this is a few years ago).
Bingo
I buy CF rolls from a various places.
Spar – Barrow Street – 4.70
Spar – Bath Ave. – 4.00
Centra Rathmines – 3.00
Mayo, BBQ sauce, cheese & lettuce (iceberg, not assorted leaves!).
Skeptik
Used to get these, until I saw the cardboard box these “Chicken” fillets came in behind the counter. Pumped full of grease so the “fry” themselves in the oven. Then there was the woefully low actual “Chicken” content.
Get the cold stuff and ask them to toast it.
Rob_G
I didn’t realise that anyone was under the impression that breaded chicken was a healthy option :o
Odis
Probably that “mechanically recovered” stuff.
Barry the Hatchet
Have you seen how the cold stuff arrives?? Trust me, it’s not much better.
garthicus
In the surreal world that is the deli in Tesco Dun Laoghaire, a CF roll (with as many other ingredients as you want) is €3.65 , however, if you also buy a coke the price changes to €3. Magic.
Bejaziz
Much like buying a bottle of water in certain London tube stations, cheaper to buy with a copy of the Telegraph…
Just sayin'
Great, you have water and something to wipe your backside with.
Neither – Sweet chili sauce please.
Spicy.
Yes, please.
Jesus, I’d murder a chicken fillet roll right now.
Bejaziz
Anyone that has spent more than 2 euro on one of those should hang there head in shame, the only time i’ve steeped so low was when i didnt have enough money for a kebab and i was passing Centra on Dame street (2 euro for a CF roll)
Skeptik
Still though, it’s not nearly as much as a local delicacy as the builder’s standard: The Breakfast Roll.
The only think missing from it was porridge.
Dubh Linn
What is all this Spar sandwiches nonsense? Centra is your only man for a filled baguette.
Years ago when I lived on the South Circular Road, fish fillet baguette (cheddar, lettuce, tomato, relish and mayo) from Centra and a small chips from Dinos used to save my life after a night on the town.
Dammit, now I want a fish sarnie and chips….
Anomanomanom
If you can find a place that does Real chicken breast(not that glued together shut in spar) in a bread crumb your sorted. Anyone living near Leonards corner,Dublin, might remember the Loom. Nicest rolls and Sandwich every.
birdcloud
Bolands on Duke Lane do a plain or spicy chicken baguette with a portion of wedges for €4.00. Much much nicer than Spar!
Lu
The roll is unnecessary effort – swap it out for a wrap and you’re laughing.
Chicken fillet roll with Mayo and stuffing and cheese …mmmmn
…judge me all you want.
Domestos
When I was on my J1 – during which time I also almost fell off a building, albeit a structurally sound one – I worked in a place where the chicken fillets arrived pre-cooked and vacuum packed in a ~40 pound plastic sack. We’d drop them into a drawer of hot water, where they’d wait until we ‘cooked to order’, by fishing out the chicken, dropping it onto some bun permanently preserved like an Egyptian God, and squeezing some spicy BBQ sauce on top. OMNONNONNONNONNON
Lan
Warm breaded “chicken” rolls with coleslaw, mayonnaise and those little streaky rasher pieces (that I never want to see the ingredient for). Hot damn
rotide
These are just deadly
Parochial Central
How depressing to see those fat builder bastards back in Fresh on Camden Street tucking into stuff like this. Ugly Mofos. I’d wear some of them even have breakfast roll tattoos.
Never liked it
