  • S4 Ep12: Our Swan Song
    2023/05/12
    After four wonderful years of episodes, we at Spice Bags are bowing out. While we do announce this with a heavy heart, we – Blanca, Dee, and Mei – wish to end on a high after publishing our very own cookbook Blasta Books 5: Soup, and at a moment when we are still passionate about the issues Spice Bags has uncovered, and the individuals we have befriended. In this final episode, we recount our journey from its foundation to our many varied episodes over the years, and to our many adventures and achievements including winning Best Food Podcast 2021 from the Irish Food Writing Awards. Lastly, we’d like to take this opportunity to give special thanks to the HeadStuff Podcast Network. HeadStuff took a gamble on three unseasoned women in the podcast world. They hatched us! Over the years, the team nurtured and gave us the confidence and tools to craft ourselves into what we are today. A special shout out to Conor, Paddy, Gearóid, Claudia and Amy, who would always find time to sit down to edit and brainstorm, come up with PR strategies, and take us through the nuts & bolts of podcast tech. Thank you, HeadStuff for letting us into your family. It’s been a privilege.

  • S4 Ep11: Fast Food
    2023/04/06
    While Dee and Mei have bonded about their passion about fast food over the years, it was a surprise that our elegant Blanca nurses a passion for White Castle and corn dogs. What is fast food? Is it simply chains like McDonalds, Super Macs, and Burger King? Or does fast food also encompass street food stalls, where generations of families have perfected one dish, which – as it is in McDonalds – is made for the customer in minutes. Perhaps tapas in Spain can be also considered a fast food. We chat about how the Italians brought the chipper to Ireland. We remember how fast food can be a cozy, sit-down family treat. We discuss how fast food was important to feminism, for it freed women from the stove. Also we talk about how foodies, when traveling, head to McDonalds as it gives them a sense of the place. (McChevre or McAlloo, anyone?) Listen to us dish about youtiao and churros, fried pineapple and pastries in Kathmandu, and chain restaurants like 100 Montaditos in Spain and Bembos in Peru, the former which may be making its way to Irish shores. Fast food is not just global corporations and grease. For many of us, it is a place from which our fondest memories are hatched.

  • S4 Ep10: Talking Nigeria with Emi and Victory
    2023/03/09
    Nigeria is a complex place, in terms of food, history, geography, and its three hundred plus ethnicities. Edizemi Onilenla, or Emi, founder of the culinary brand Mama Shee, grew up in Nigeria. Victory Nwabu-Ekeoma, founder of Bia! Zine is from Dundalk. Emi is Yoruba, and Victory is Igbo. Emi says, ‘every tribe has its own vegetable.’ Emi came to Ireland as a social worker and then started cooking the food of her home, which she started in the Dublin markets and is now widely recognised and carried by shops like SuperValu. We are honoured to have her soup, Efo Riro, in our Soup cookbook, recently published by Blasta Books. Victory is a writer and photographer, who became curious about her origins and, from there, delved into other immigration stories in her publication Bia! Zine. They talk about ingredients like peppers, palm oil, leafy greens, and crayfish powder. Where do they shop? Why do they love their food to be blazing hot? With Dee and Blanca, Emi and Victory discuss the two-Michelin starred Ikoyi restaurant in London and the future of Nigerian cuisine in Ireland. Plus, there is a guy called Tony. With his produce and his van, he has made both of these wonderful women feel at home. Mentioned in this episode: www.mamashee.com www.biazine.com www.ikoyilondon.com Learn more about your ad choices.
