EARLIER TODAY, IT emerged that some English people are just discovering the wonders of the 3 in 1, to much derision from Irish and Welsh folk.
How had this particular delicacy escaped their notice for so long? We may never know.
For how do we love thee, 3 in 1? Let us count the ways.
1. Firstly – carbs. So many carbs
The definition of beige comfort food.
2. Chips and rice together should never work, but they do
Would you ever dare? But the 3 in 1 dares, and wins.
3. They’re the best kind of drunk food
Y’know, in that all you have to do is shovel the brown mess into your mouth. No thinking, no need to discern one bit of it from another.
4. They’re cheap, cheerful, and easily available
If a 3 in 1 ever costs you more than a fiver, then someone has made a mug of you, my friend.
5. Takeaways get super creative with them
With the addition of chicken, the 3 in 1 can be a 4 in 1 – or, if you’re feeling adventurous, you can swap out the curry sauce for sweet and sour or barbecue.
And then they can just completely take the piss:
6. And you can judge how good a takeaway is on their 3 in 1s alone
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
Sloppy 3 in 1? Sloppy everything else.
7. There’s something strangely horrifying about them
Like so many foods Irish people hold dear, the 3 in 1 is sort of disgusting. But it’s OUR sort of disgusting.
8. Lastly, carbs. So many carbs
Must we say more? Must we?
