    What is it?
    My missus has been going on about getting a spice bag from the Chinese but she hasn't a clue what it is either.

    So, can somebody clue us in?

    I am all for eating things when you have no idea what they contain.

    So if I order a spice bag, I'll end up stoned with geri halliwell while she dips her balls in curry sauce.
    With lots of onions and chilli

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,735 ✭✭✭Vincent Vega


    Some of the names here look pretty irish, and some of the spice bags look pretty good right now. http://statigr.am/tag/spicebag
    OP, your verdict on the spice bag?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,080 ✭✭✭✭Maximus Alexander


    I've never wanted anything as badly as I want a spice bag right now. And I only just found out it's a thing.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,402 ✭✭✭nxbyveromdwjpg

    I got a spice bag last night. It did not disappoint. Thanks guys.

    In the history of the evolution of the "drunken munchies" ,it will be recorded that the Spice Bag inevitably led to the extinction of the Doner Kebab!:D

    Sunflower at the Orwell Shops do the best one.......they even extended their delivery routes to cater for the people raving about it :)

    Agreed. I love getting Small/Large specials from there too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,251 ✭✭✭Pang


    My OH is obsessed with spice bags. Our local Chinese has two types of chicken in theirs. There's big chunks of smoked chicken and then lightly battered chicken shreds.

    How much. Curious what you are all talking about. Never heard about these spice bags before.

    Not that dear if its as good as you describe, you get what you pay for.

    chinese food is disgusting, indian is far superior

    Very true! OH definitely thinks it's worth it.

    Seems to be quite a variation in price across the Chineses. Ours only started doing it around the end of November/start of December. The special introductory price was 4euro! Getting very popular.

    *swan flies out of thread chased by a greyhound*

    It a term of affection, it means you like my food, I like you, it really not that difficult to understand. It's like thank you for being a good customer, Enjoy ;)

    I just read the rest of the thread, it seems the OP paid for it, I'm so disappointed, cause it would have meant so much more, if he didn't. (In a non sexual way of course, just food wise) weep weep. I be in the corner weep weep:(

    Does anybody know of a Chinese that does the Spice Bag in Cork City/county.
    Have got them many a time in Dublin in Red Rice Kimmage, but can't seem to find them down here in the South.

    My local Chinese charges 8.00 for theirs.
    Its a big bag though so worth the money. Can never finish it though, and I only ever get it when im hungover, which is most likely the time when I want to devour all in sight.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,766 ✭✭✭Bongalongherb


    Scumbag, Wankbag,Sh!tbag,Spicebag, they all taste the same. I'm that hungry I'd eat the whole fcuking last one of ye's.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,766 ✭✭✭Bongalongherb

    Yes, with a bit of acid vinegar on top. Slurp. I'd even eat a slurpbag now the way things are going.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,766 ✭✭✭Bongalongherb


    Joking aside. My brother a few weeks ago wouldn't stop talking about this spicebag thing, he just said you have to try it. I haven't got around to it yet, but can any-one recommend the best place to get one in the swords area ?. I might just give it a try seeing that the reviews are so high.

    In the interim since this thread was active, the Daily Edge had an article on Spice Bags and in fact used Col. Jessup's photos of his Spice Bag.

    In fairness they cited Boards as a source for the photo but I still think we should order a Code Red.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,766 ✭✭✭Bongalongherb


    I'll need to be guided in regards to this Spicebag meal. I will await instructions regarding the best place in swords to get this spicebag, I don't want to ruin my first purchase. It better be good or else.

    Go down the Jacko and I'll meet you with one in 20 mins.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,766 ✭✭✭Bongalongherb


    LOL.

    The Jacko is a big place, from what part will you be coming from ? east/west north possibly south ?. I'll probably end up walking up to a spacer in the middle of the jacko asking him for some spicebag and get shot, or worse.

    It will probably be worth it regarding that spicebag as it's supposed to be really nice. I'm on me way, I'll bring my machete just incase I need to chop it in half.

    These spicebags don't seem to be too enticing to be honest. Too much risk.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,699 ✭✭✭Badly Drunk Boy


    Spice bags are bit rank. Well, the shredded chicken is usually rotten, rubbery stuff. Personally, I like salt and chili chips.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,766 ✭✭✭Bongalongherb

    I remember a place or two before that made chickenballs and they were Rubbery as hell, never went back. I'd like to avoid that for sure. It's a gamble I suppose. Will try one out in Riverside takeaway in swords on friday and see how theirs is. Will post back with my experience of this unusual spicebag after I try it with points of 0/10.

    I hate rubbery chicken with a vengeance.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,427 ✭✭✭Dr Strange


    Oooh, we got the new menu for our local Chinese through the door yesterday. They have now included the Spice Bag! :D Happy times, I really need to try this!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,427 ✭✭✭Dr Strange

    The smoked shredded breaded chicken is very tender in comparison and I'd rather get that if they offer both versions.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,653 ✭✭✭✭amdublin


    This is not available in my local Chinese but my friends have it in theirs. I believe the term for theirs is Spicy Bag.
