The spicebag is a national treasure, and last night it finally got the recognition it deserves, along with some other of the nation’s favourite takeaway dishes.
The Just Eat National Takeaway Awards were last night and they were an absolute triumph! While Ly Garden in Tallaght was named Ireland’s Best Takeaway, there were 19 other worthy winners crowned on the night.
You can check out all the winners here; dinner inspiration or what?
The Awards were hosted by the lovely Brian Dowling and Pippa O’Connor, and it is safe to say they had an absolute ball doing it!

While the best spicebag in Ireland was deservedly awarded to Sunflower in Templeogue, you were all busy tweeting your shout outs for your favourite restaurants and dishes.
Is anyone else hungry?
I’d love a lovely Sunflower spicebag, the king of spicebags #takeawayawards
