    You mean that stinky sausage - that's French cuisine surely?

    You might have in mind Saumagen, which doesn't sound unappetising to me (never tried it though).

    Oh great burn.

    Do they still serve chips with lasagne in Ireland?

    I explained it to a restaurant owner here in Germany - he laughed at the idea.

    Yet you can get it easily in Italy with no laughs or second looks?

    I'm not being silly.
    Explain to me why it might be ok to serve chips with one pasta dish, Lasagne, but not with another pasta dish, Spaghetti Bolognese?

    no problem serving chips with spaghetti if that is your thing. serving boiled or mashed would be just weird.

    I find some wedges go great with a lasagne.


    On the spice bag front, being "foreign" now I had never heard of them until this thread popped up a couple of years ago. Only very lately over here (Essex) I noted one of the Chinese reasonably close by started advertising a "salt and pepper box" which I'm guessing is in the same ball park i.e. chips, chicken balls, crispy chicken, wings, ribs, tub of curry sauce all nicely covered in chopped onions, peppers with salt and chili and shoved in a pizza box. I've tried it once, goes down quite well tbh but just a bit too far away to make it a regular trip.

    A place closer has tried to emulate but they've skimped on the chicken and shoved squid in there. That wasn't well received.

    Anyway, hopefully more places hop on the bandwagon, it'd be nice to have options closer to the house.

    The strange thing about the Spice Bag is I have seldom if ever seen it, worded as such, on a Chinese menu.

    Like, I get a 12 euro mega box, which is essentially the same thing (peppered chips, fried and battered strips, wings, balls, ribs and onions) with a curry dip.

    But I've seldom if ever seen this referred to as a bag.

    A spice bungo is much nicer but not too many chippers have it.

    . Never heard of it. Sounds awful. Chips? And Spices? That's just wrong on so many levels.

    You heard of enough to search for a two year old thread

    I would murder a spicebag now, usualy only delight in one after pints but just ate lunch, from a tupperware box at my desk. The fact I'm working from home makes that fact a lot worse
