A Dublin pub has sparked a fierce debate over the city's most polarising traditional dish.
Coddle is truly divisive nosh with some loving it as a comfort food and others revulsed by the mere sight of it. The Clonsilla Inn found out all about it when they received numerous responses to a picture of their coddle they posted to Facebook.
The comments varied from those calling it a "pavement pizza" found on a Sunday morning to others dubbing it the "finest meal" one can experience.

One unhappy Facebook user started the debate by posting: "Wtf is that mess!" Another said: "Looks like raw sausages with three or four slices of carrot on top in a wallpaper paste..."
A third user posted: "Irish sausage soup." While a fourth person said: "Looks like a pavement pizza on a Sunday morning."
A fifth person simply said: ""Looks like mickey stew".
However, fans of the Dublin dish said: "That is the finest meal you will ever experience in your life," and "that's coddle, an old Irish dish. Always looks awful but tastes great."
Another fan said: "If you eat with your eyes, you are seriously don't know what you're missing. If you've tasted it fair enough if you don't like it... Sausages all cooked together in the ingredients they taste much better than fried sausages."
A coddle veteran explained: "The one and only coddle is the one your mam made - so in my case, rasher, sausage, spuds, oxo and a little bisto. If your mam made it differently then that the one and only too."
Dublin Live previously reported on whether Dubs prefer coddle or stew.
