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.[4] It became popular in Ireland as a dish from chip shops and Chinese restaurants in the early twenty-first century.[1] It developed a cult-following in the 2010s,[3][5][6][7][8] and media-outlets debated the merits of it compared to a spice bag which became popular around the same time.[9][10]
