chicken fillet roll

Let's face it – us Irish aren't exactly know for our Michelin star cuisine, but there are a number of dishes we've managed to perfect over the years.

Spice bags, Tayto sandwiches, Sunday roast, chicken fillet rolls; not only are these the staple foods of ever Irish hangover – they're national delicacies and we're damn proud of them.

One man who found this out the hard way was Twitter user, Lil Chicken Tender.

Late last week, the 22-year-old shared a photo of something that looked suspiciously like a chicken fillet roll along with the caption: “If you from Florida you already know wtf goinn on.” (sic)

Infuriating, we know. But let's give the guy a break – half the island have already been on to him to point out the mistake.

Here's how it all went down:

Basically, Irish people are good at two things – making rolls and confusing Americans.

The humble chicken fillet is something of a college diet staple, and has saved us from too many hangovers to count.

But after watching RTÉ's What Are You Eating last night, we might skip the hot deli next time we're looking for a quick lunch – and it seems we're not the only ones.

The new series, which kicked off last week, aims to lift the lid on processed and convenience foods, many of which are considered healthy by Irish eaters, but are in fact packed with calories, fat, salt and additives.

And for presenter Philip Boucher-Hayes and chef Hilary O'Hagan, the first meal up on the chopping block was, you've guessed it, the chicken fillet roll. Irish people consume around 45,000 chickens every TWO and a half hours, making us one of the top consumers of poultry in Europe.

It was this clip, in which Hilary explained that virtually all the "good" meat (breast, leg etc) is removed from a chicken carcass before the remainder is blended and crushed up into a "chicken fillet," that really had people questioning their choice of lunch.

The chicken fillet connoisseurs of Twitter didn't take the bad news too well:

Things didn't get much nicer then, as Philip visited a chicken processing factory:

And then of course there were the cold hard facts – between roll and chicken alone, a chicken fillet roll comes in at over 1,000 calories and packs in 5g of salt, more than your RDA of 4g per day.

Up next week is milk and cheese, so we'd suggest having something other than a toastie and a milky cuppa on your plate while watching it…

Catch What Are You Eating next Wednesday March 6 on RTÉ One.
