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] Related dishes (four-,[11][4] five-in one) contain additional ingredients such as chicken balls, or chicken or beef pieces.
