Everyday English and Slang in Ireland:
On the way home from the 'boozer' Paddy and Seamus were hungry so they went into the 'Chipper'. Patrick was starving so he ordered a 'one and one cod' Seamus said he wasn't that hungry so he only ordered a 'single'
Translation:
On the way home from the pub Paddy and Seamus were hungry so they went into the fish and chip shop. Patrick was starving so he ordered a cod and a packet of chips. Seamus said he wasn't that hungry so he only ordered a packet of chips
Chipper (n): fish and chip shop"
One and One (n): fish and chips i.e. One and One Cod
"Single (n): packet of chips (french fries)
Although this site uses the word 'packet' I think that the term 'bag of chips' is used more often.
