[@elvin3162]

Quick tip for making the fries/chips not so fragile: Boil them with a small amount of white vinegar in the water! There's a chemical reaction inside the potatoes that will allow them to be a bit more durable, they'll have an actual bend to them without breaking! The flavor is entirely unaffected as well, I promise if you don't overdo the vinegar on accident, you won't taste it at all (not that I personally mind it, I add a little extra for the vinegar flavor myself!)

[@alecmikaelian1967]

who tf wants bendy french fries man

[@elvin3162]

@@alecmikaelian1967 they aren't bendy once they're cooked lmao. Just when you take them out of the parboil water.

Vinegar mimics the taste of salt. ;) It's also healthy. You can't hardly go wrong with it.

[@CeltaVigo1916]

@@alecmikaelian1967Bendy > broken. They easily fall apart if you boil them too long. And like elfin said it's just after they're boiled pre-fryer. I'd just use McDonalds curry sauce mixed with cream - much quicker than the above. A KZbin short version of this'd be good.

If you cut hot chillis, it's a REALLY good idea to use food gloves. Even kitchen gloves like marigolds are better than using your bare hands. The capsaicin oil is very difficult to wash off, so even touching your eyes after multiple washes with soap can be very painful. I made this mistake with Scotch Bonnet peppers, and I'm not eager to do it again, lol.

[@akc5150]

Just got to the chilli eye moment... One tip I was given decades ago was to rub oil (veg, olive, whatever) onto my hands BEFORE chopping chilis as it stops the capsaicin from getting into your pores and is easily washed off after you finish chopping...

​@@mollywhoppedsouls_pvp Basically a southern fried chicken sub 😂😂

[@moorenicola6264]

@@mollywhoppedsouls_pvp A chicken fillet roll is crusty demi baguette (about 12 inches) sliced lengthways and spread with butter or your sauce of choice like mayo/taco sauce/sweet chill/garlic mayo etc, a warm breaded fried chicken breast sliced and whatever salad you like on top. Everything is really fresh and filling. It's been years since I've had one and could probably only eat half now. A lot of construction workers get them for their lunch but they're so active they work them off. I'd need a nap if I ate a whole one 😄

Loving how the Irish accent hops from Dublin to Belfast and back again, often within the same word. The Spice Bag hasn't made its way across the border to Northern Ireland - at least not anywhere near me - but I know what I'm having for dinner next time I get the train south.

[@AmberJays]

I'm surprised it has taken 70 years to hop over to Ireland lol. It was created by the Cantonese community in Liverpool back in the 1960s, been very very popular in north England and Scotland ever since and the season mix is a staple in every chinese takeaway here. Though the Irish versions are much, much lighter on the seasoning though from what I've seen.

[@brianmckee2267]

Salt and chilli crispy chicken with chips and curry sauce from your local Chinese in the North, It's pretty much the same as a spice bag

[@yewawtmayt2805]

Im Scottish but ive had a spice bag. This is a fantastic representation. For and extra dimension to the spice you need some szechuan peppercorn for that numbness too.

[@DavidThomason1021]

Another great and funny AF video. Anyway possible you guys could post a behind the scenes, bloopers and re-take video. I think it would do great and be funny.

[@xmikemurphyx]

Hopefully the behind the scenes would include the hand washing he apparently misses.

[@thefilmdependent291]

Sam never misses. The vibes are immaculate!

[@mingshili9769]

Cut the potato to cubes instead of chips, cut chicken thigh in to small chunks instead and panfry, replace the sause with laochou, then it is pretty much become a northern chinese homemade dish. This recipe looks fantastic, im gonna give it a try

[@cartoonhead9222]

Never thought of making my own spice bag before, you've inspired me.

[@KainsAddiction]

This honestly doesnt look good

[@hayleysiofracotter6625]

As an irish woman, this episode was incredible haha

[@stinky60096]

Thank you Sam for all the sacrifices you went through today to bring us this lovely meal. The jalapeno eye, the serrano throat, the La Croix gag, but in the end, you were re-paid by the chicken happy ending.

[@henrycoyle5050]

This is something I would never have thought would be cooked on this channel. Coming from an Irishman 😂😂☘️

[@harrisonbergeron9764]

I don't always use my Wok to make Irish Food but when I do I will make this.

[@gothamproductions3090]

Hands down it would. I lived in Ireland and moved back and I die for it when we go out to grab food

[@mencken8]

“Jalapeño finger! A new eye! Fuck!” It is for moments like these that I watch STCG.

[@lazysmurf420]

Your younger counterparts are getting better every day. Props to Max and Chance.

[@ashleymurphy9734]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@jrgaid123]

4:44 the "I was gonna use my hands", exchange was hilarious 🤣🤣

[@declanmckeown323]

Had a spice bag for the first time in Galway last summer, so good!!

[@timacrow]

Love Sam's cooking and his overall attitude!

[@OBrien1510]

This ia like a fever dream seeing someone from America cooking a spicebag. As somewhat of a spicebag connoisseur, I can say that this looks pretty spot on to me

[@FarlinatorKarl]

Wow, a Spice Bag! Fair play to you!! Also another variation is the Spice Box, same thing but in a pizza box. :)

[@PeachyJohnson]

Yesssss! Ours round here comes with S&P ribs and chicken balls as well. Filth. Beautiful, perfect, filth.

[@TrevM0nkey]

In England (/ UK) it'd be a salt and pepper Munchie Box, served in a pizza box with salt and pepper chicken, salt and pepper wings, salt and pepper ribs, salt and pepper chips... and extras like spring rolls or prawn toast. They're meant to be for sharing but that's a silly idea, they can get their own.

[@HybridCult]

We have munchies boxes in Ireland too. They are similar but vary from each restaurant

[@npche9865]

I must admit, the paddies do it better.

[@chrisd5964]

[@JamesJansson]

In Australia we have the "Halal Snack Pack" or "Meatbox" which is chips with kabab meat on top. On top of that is the "Holy Trinity" of garlic sauce, bbq sauce and chilli sauce.

[@wolverjay]

Greetings from Ireland Sam. That's an epic looking Spice Bag fair play.

[@st4849]

My son eats this regularly and once he brought the leftover home. Unfortunately there was nothing else but French fries (called chips here) and chilli pepper slices left. I always wondered what it originally looked like. Now I know 😁

[@fionamb83]

I don't know where you are in Ireland but if you're in Dublin or Galway get one from Xian.

[@tylerwaalen6963]

you have an amazing personality. this is the second video of yours I've watched, and you earned my subscription.

[@GIBBO4182]

I know it would give me heartburn, but I would still eat every bit of it! 😂

[@hellodriver3509]

Here in Scotland it’s just salt and pepper chips, but stunned he’s just cooked what my missus gets every time including the curry sauce😂😂😂
