3-in-1

The popular 3-in-1 dish
Alternative names	Trio Three-in-One
Place of origin	Ireland
Serving temperature	Hot in a takeaway container
Main ingredients	chips boiled, egg-fried, or fried rice curry sauce

A 3-in-1, trio or three-in-one, is a fast-food dish consisting of chips, boiled rice (or egg fried rice), and curry sauce served in a single foil tray or plastic container. It became popular in Ireland as a dish from chip shops and Chinese restaurants in the early twenty-first century. It developed a cult-following in the 2010s, and media-outlets debated the merits of it compared to a spice bag which became popular around the same time.

Related dishes (four-, five-in one) contain additional ingredients such as chicken balls, or chicken or beef pieces.
