Society & Culture
Sometimes the clearest way to see yourself is through a foreigner's eyes.
Named after everyone's favorite Chinese-Irish deep-fried drunk snack, Spice Bags is a podcast about food in Ireland and beyond.
Multi-cultural hosts Blanca, Mei and Dee--a Spanish food researcher, a Chinese American writer, and an Irish writer and editor--ask questions like: How did one enterprising Indian expat create a market for Indian cuisine in Dublin? Why are so many Irish cheeses made by women? Why is Irish tea different from that in the rest of the world?
We also talk to the immigrants who are shaping the new Irish culinary scene.
Find answers, laughs and interviews with Ireland's most interesting chefs and authors here.
Spice Bags is part of the HeadStuff Podcast Network (https://www.headstuff.org/spice-bags)
