The chicken fillet roll, a staple of the Irish diet since the turn of the century. A cultural touchstone that holds a place in any true Irishman's heart. A symbol of Ireland. Well not according to one Florida man who took to twitter to claim the meal as American.
@FlightSquadRG_ tweeted a pic of a roll with the caption 'If you frm Florida you already know wtf goinn on'.

You can take out leprechauns, our drinking culture, hell, even our six counties. But please, for the love of Christ, leave the humble chicken fillet roll alone.
