Codswallop Authentic British Fish & Chips has brought Dublin’s cult-favorite Spice Bag to Colorado Springs.

Never heard of an edible Spice Bag? You’re not alone.

According to David “Nova” Nowakowski, an owner and marketing director of The Brit Food Group, the Spice Bag emerged around 2010, inspired by Ireland’s Chinese takeaways, and quickly became a staple of Irish comfort food. Today, it’s dominating TikTok and other social media — and for good reasons.

The dish layers deep-fried chips (fries) and chicken (shredded, strips or wings) with bell peppers and onions, all tossed in a bold blend featuring Chinese five-spice and chilies. To gild the lily, it comes with a mild curry sauce.

Served the traditional way in a foil-lined lunch sack, the flavors collide: spicy, salty, crunchy and deeply comforting. It’s equal parts late-night indulgence and hangover cure.

The version from Codswallop, 3012 W. Colorado Ave., is finished with McDonnells Original Curry Sauce from Ireland. Hours are 11 a.m.–7 p.m. Tuesday–Saturday and 11 a.m.–6 p.m. Sunday. Details: 719-396-2634, facebook.com/TheChippyCoS.
