"It's a national dish here in Ireland probably the most important thing we've done in over a century" LOL We don't have spice bags in America, it would be unusual here to have chips (french fries) with Chinese food. I am intrigued by this idea though and will have to try someday. I also appreciate your concern about the lack of sauce on so many of these.

Here in the US, we use white rice as a base for a lot of our chinese dishes. Fried rice is often eaten as a dish by itself since it'll have chicken, beef, or pork and vegetables fried with it. We don't have fries (chips) with our chinese food but oftentimes the restaurant will have non-chinese food for little kids like a burger or chicken tenders and fries. For that Wendy's wrap, it was most likely off the $1 menu so it's very sparse since it's so low-cost and has little on it. All of those irish dishes sound amazing. I just need to visit over there. First I need money. And a passport. lol If you come to the states, I hope you get a chance to try the food here in Texas! And the food in south Louisiana is amazing, as well!
