The infamous Spice Bag

stevexo

Does anyone know where to get a Spice Bag in or around the city?

I've had a spice bag in a Chinese take away in Templemore and in Longford but they are too far away to go for a €6.50 bag of chicken and chips!

Any insight into where I could procure this work of food art would be greatly appreciated!

Have never heard of this before. First thought was you are looking to make mulled wine

If you wanted it bad enough you would make the drive. It's a lazy culture we live in.

:pac:

I just want to know my options!

Could like make up a bag of spice mix yourself then go to the chipper and get the mix of stuff. What exactly is it

I've been doing that myself when I make chips etc at home.
Salt, ground pepper, chili flakes and some Knorr Aromat.
Its good but its not the same!

You need to go on the hunt for one!
I've tried looking up the Chinese take aways on Just Eat but no luck.
They are generally not on the main menus and up on a home made poster

Interesting perhaps tis just not a Cork done thing..If I ever hear of it ill let you know

Just ring up your local Chinese and ask.
Many don't have them on the menu online / flier yet, but some have small card posters on the shop walls saying they do them.

You'll have to do a review so that we all know if it's worth a visit.

In Dublin most of the Chinese will now have the spice bag / spicy bag / spicey bag on their proper menu. The days of home made posters are gone!

Why is that?

People in Cork are too sophisticated for Spice Bags?

Milly33

No no more the (im bound to get one of these sayings right) the latter!! Don't tell me its ladder

Cork slang I suppose would have bag at something else.. that's all I am saying
