THE SPICEBAG WAS clearly the big winner of last year terms of take-out success.

But the most surprising trend to pop up during the year, according to the sellers on Irish food ordering website Marvin.ie, was that Chinese Curry has started being outsold by the Thai Massaman Curry.

It’s obviously superior.

1. LOOK AT IT

2. It’s got massive lumps of potato

We should just cut the list here, but we’ll go on…

3. It’s so deliciously creamy

4. Topped with crispy shallots, it’s heaven

TOO MUCH.

5. It’s the perfect mix of Indian and Thai curries

It mixes perfectly with chicken, beef, prawns, and duck. Can you say that about any other curry?

Shhh.

6. Why choose between green and red, when you can have massaman?

You get the beeeeeest, of both worlds.

7. Plain curry is boring now, admit it

8. Bow down to massaman, the new king of Irish curry
