THE SPICE BAG has been around Ireland long enough at this stage that it’s already seen some serious innovation.
Ranging from the spice box to the spice bag pizza, all of these things are natural in the culinary course of things and just about within reason. But there’s something that happens with spice bags that can’t be accepted:
People who smother it in ketchup
Yes, they exist
A poster to Reddit Ireland this week described a traumatic scene as well:
Myself and the girlfriend decided to stay in and watch a film with a takeaway last night instead of heading out. She’d never had a spice bag before so I got us them.
She drowned the thing in tomato sauce. Like, fucking swamped it.
Never seen food abuse like it.
I’m still shook.
These people are out there, but in the minority
Whoops!

Against the natural order of things – this is the spice bag in all its glory
But, luckily, the weight of public opinion seems to be against them
Whoops!

Like, Irish people are banding together in their distaste for such spice bag practices
Because, at the end of the day, what good is a spice bag if another person can’t sneakily take a bit?
Whoops!

Won’t happen when there’s ketchup on it.
It’s got to the point now that when it’s mentioned, it’s usually a friend calling out the practice
It’s good to see such vigilance on this important issue
Whoops!

And never the twain should meet.
