bad fried chicken

[Colm Donoghue]

1) Pat Grace
2) Texas Fried Chicken. I've had this drunk and it's (was gonna say foul) disgusting. at least as bad as the deep fried spiders ( I imagine)
3) - your horrors here

[Nigel Fitzgricer]

I went to an international years ago at Dalymount and before the match myself and mate saw David O'Leary and some FAI official getting about 20 Snack Boxes from Pat Grace in Phisborough Shopping Centre for the Irish team and they went on to win. Not sure who they were playing, I forget but, Ireland played a blinder that night.

Pat Grace's Fried Chicken must of had some fowl growth hormones still in it's halfcooked flesh that night. I never saw Eoin Hand appear so human before or since.

God, leave the fowl/foul puns aside will yiz?

Texas, was that the one in Drumcondra down at the Tolka Bridge? I vaguely rememeber going there as a kid on a Sunday.

Pat Graces is now a Burdocks, isnt it?

As for great Snack Boxes, best one is Lynch's beside the Beachcomber Pub in Killester. Just waiting for the NFL to start in Feb, Parnell Park, Beachcomber, Lynchs, good night out, permission already booked in advance from Mrs TJS.

That's the one, how it stood so long without a KFC challenge I'll never know, same colourscheme and everything.

Use to love the gravy out of Pat Graces. Today's KFC gravy is just not as nice, the chicken however is delicious especially from the one in the Jervis centre.

Me too. It was lovely and peppery. Rumoured to have been leftover industrial residue from the Auganish plant in Limerick. Most of the "Chickens" were trapped on the CIE Railway Bridge over Drumcondra Road...hmmmm?

Actually, the death of Limerick soccer and Pat Grace's fried chicken mirror each other. KFC was sort of like the Sky Sports of soccer - just replace Cornel Sanders with Rupert Murdoch. We are through the looking glass folks.

So there you have it. We have discovered the common link between the decline of the League of Ireland and CIE via the Fried Chicken Paradaigm on the same day that Charlie Haughey finally got his comeuppence. There must be a plentary convergence or something cosmic going on.

Come Back Pat Grace and Save Us!

Right that's it. I am off to start PatGrace11 - Ireland National Fired Chicken, LOI Soccer, and Salmonella Lobby.

NFL for us starts in Croker next year on a saturday night. (10,000 tickets sold already) So check out the "perki chick" on lower Drumcondra road. Last time I had a southern fried breast out of that place, it was as neat as Kylie Minogue's.

Considering boycotting that game as a protest over the way we were treated by the GAA last year. Why dont they ask Mayo and Kerry, eh? Ah no, the Dubs are great for money and full houses when they need us but then when the GAA satart attrracting the once a year support brigade in the All Ireland Series we are told to feck off. Lots more on this in the reservior dubs forums.

As for ther local food, I used to go to "some like it hot" in Drumcondra, lovely half pounder with cheese, since I left Dublin i usually go to Clonliffe House pre match, good chipper beside it as well.

Is that the mighty "Frier Tuck" ?

There's a decent lad beside Meaghers for chips too.



OT
Who's seen Croker with the lights on. Like the spaceship from ET. twas especially good monday night with the light fog.

It wouldn't have been Malta, 1983, by any chance Nigel? Because if it had been anyone else..........
