    Ireland's most-ordered-while-drunk-and-want-it-now from a junk food delivery service ≠ Ireland's favourite food.

    Necessarily.

    Salt and chilli chips & (usually) crispy chicken strips. With some chilli and onion. In a bag. Spicy. In a bag. Spice. Bag?

    Very sad indictment of this country’s “culinary” tastes if MSG loaded over cooked frozen chips and some manky rubbery chicken and a few veg is our new national dish.

    I don’t think it’s fair to say that our new national dish is a spice bag based off a just eat survey :p

    We all know that if they looked at every type of food we eat through out the day it'd be a chicken fillet roll ;)

    It’s JustEat. If it wasn’t a spice bag it would be pizza or taco fries.
    Ireland’s favourite fast food would be a more fitting thread title.

    Or Justeat.ie top selling product of all takeaway's

    Hardly fast food I have often waited a long time for food ordered from a takeaway

    Now Mcdonalds, KFC, Burgerking or even any deli...
    They are fast food and Id say chicken fillet rolls outsell spice bags everyday. just not many places offer these on just eat... and if they do its a rubber reheated roll and chicken from a TAKE AWAY.

    From the droves in Blanch, i'd think Krispie Kreme donuts are Ireland's no 1.

    Never heard of or see a Spice Bag on a menu. Is it a Dublin thing?

    Well, people are hardly going to be overwhelmingly ordering fine cuisine through JustEat. So it's literally not Ireland's favourite anything, just the most ordered item on one takeaway service.

    Spice Bags are grand though from some places....others they just pour on way too much seasoning.

    Spice bags are excellent. Certainly better than the stuff the "loike totes MSG oh my gawd" brigade try to pass off as edible.

    It sounds revolting. But then so does most takeaway. Most unhealthy.

    Tax it like smoking, drinking alcohol, drinking full fat coke - only a matter of time

    It's Just Eat, a service for people too lazy to even pick up a phone and ring in their order, what did people expect it's most ordered food to be? Beluga Caviar and Foie Gras?

    That said a Spice Bag made from decent ingredients is fantastic, impossibly rare outside the odd place though as any place that serves half decent food won't stoop to serving a spice bag.

    It's a very simple thing to make yourself at home which I do regularly.

    Why would you ring someone when you don't have to? Would speaking to some twat make the food up to higher standards or something?

    There's nobody making them at home getting the chicken element right.

    Home made chips in an air fryer
    Special "Breadcrumb" chicken strips in the grill
    Fry up peppers and onions
    Put chips and chicken into the same pan with peppers and onions when cooked and put some spice bag seasoning over the top and stir.

    Takes about 10/15 minutes and tastes better than the ones from the takeaway.
