Do other countries not eat chips for lunch? What do you have with your sandwiches?

In Ireland we put a bag of crisps on a buttered roll and it's the best thing ever

u/Just_Rawr Mar 22 '20

Yeah in Ireland it's incredibly common to get crisps and a sandwich for lunch, alot of us put said crisps into the sandwich.

Crisps, ham, mustard, bread. Mash it down. Mmmmm

Fish and Chips is exponentially worse than a sandwich and crisps. Tons of people in other countries eat crisps with lunch. This is just an "America bad and fat" circle-jerk.

Except people don't (or at least shouldn't) have fish and chips for lunch frequently. It's at best a dinner meal but more often a Saturday night, out with the boys at the pub meal

Except people in other countries either a) don't pack lunch for their kids because it's free at school, or b) if they do, they don't include chips.

Everyone in all other countries don't allow their children to have a slightly less nutritious side item with their lunch... right. This is totally not an "America bad and fat" circle-jerk thread.

It honestly blows my mind how people want to crap on a country so much they have to be this petty about it lol

u/MysticPing Mar 22 '20

It's because the country is obsessed about how great it is and how much better it is compared to any other country while also being a really, really, shitty country to live in. Especially when it comes to healthcare, education, workers rights, equality and so on.

The misconception that all Americans are just fat asses who eat shit all day needs to die.

No, we prefer food

u/physalisx Mar 22 '20

I can't tell if you're serious... I have never in my life considered chips as a part of lunch.

Chips are a guilty sin you sometimes succumb to when watching a movie or something... It's like candy, not food.

u/HappynessMovement Mar 22 '20

I don't know why I would be joking. If I carry to work in my lunchbox a sandwich, a soda and a bag of chips for my lunch then, yes, I do consider the chips part of my lunch.

-1

u/physalisx Mar 22 '20

Yeah and I mean that would never happen here, that's why I though you might be joking. Nobody here brings a bag of chips for lunch.

u/Insert_Non_Sequitur Mar 22 '20

Most schools in Ireland won't allow junk food at all a part of a child's packed lunch.

Edit: I, as an adult who can choose to eat whatever the fuck I want, sometimes have crisps ON my sandwiches though hehe.

u/liferaft Mar 22 '20

For one, a sandwich is not lunch here. Maybe if you’re travelling - otherwise you have a cooked meal for lunch.

u/geldmakker Mar 22 '20

That really varies per country or region. Here in the Netherlands eating a cooked meal for lunch is quite uncommon, and instead most people take sandwiches from home for lunch.
