Brianna Parkins: Sometimes, when you’re a big distance from home, it’s the small things that give you comfort
The spice bag: Comments on social media were concerned it would cause a diplomatic incident between a neutral nation against one of the world's largest military powers
So when spice bags, the dish beloved of Chinese takeaways in Ireland, started appearing on menus around the city you would thinkwould have been happy to see them. We love a new type of fusion cuisine that can be flogged to us in gastropubs at outrageous markups. But introducing Irish-Chinese food to antipodeans has had mixed reactions.
One pal with Asian heritage reflected that he didn’t know if one Irish-Chinese takeaway’s name “Paddy Chans” was “more racist to the Irish or the Chinese”. One thing we have to thank immigration for is Australia’s incredible food scene. Before everyone started turning up from all around the world with their delicious traditions, we were just doing what the British did – taking fresh meat and produce and boiling the crap out of it until it had not even the threat of taste or texture.
