My parents go over all the time and I got them to bring over Cadbury chocolate like mint crisp but it’s still full of palm oil. I looked online and thought it didn’t but the last lot still had it!!! Also Moro bars which I have a constant debate over whether they are the same as boosts. Jury is still out on that one!

Supervalu sausages.... the BEST !

GoldenRule · 29/07/2019 22:58

...and a years supply of Taytos obvs.

However - King crisps are just as good. Just sayin'

AFingerofFudge · 29/07/2019 23:01

White sliced pan - I'm not a massive bread fan but can tuck away half a loaf of that at a time

strawbmilk · 29/07/2019 23:04

Tray bakes.... most petrol garage shops have huge prepacked bakery selections... caramel squares, fifteens, jammy joeys, areo bakes, crunchie bakes, it's just all so good!!!!!
Then some punjana tea to wash it all down with

g0bbledyg00k · 29/07/2019 23:07

Chickatees

Yodude · 29/07/2019 23:11

Get some potato bread.

fancynancyclancy · 29/07/2019 23:13

Barry’s Tea
Tayto crisps & those rainbow things
Hunky Dorys
Club Orange
Mikado

My relatives always bring sausages & rashers with them to England/Spain/France etc as nothing else compares apparently.

Chilledout11 · 29/07/2019 23:13

McCambridge bread is lovely
McDonald's Curry Sauce

Yodude · 29/07/2019 23:14

Are traybakes an Irish thing? Wtf? Really? I never knew this. I thought everybody had them. Jammy Joeys?

KnobOfStork · 29/07/2019 23:15

Football Special if they're coming from Donegal! and North Tayto are far superior

Cocolapew · 29/07/2019 23:17

Potato bread
Wheaten farls
Cadburys Tiffin
Veda
Beef or steak sausages

hairhair · 29/07/2019 23:17

Cambridge soda bread! They do a lovely spelt one too

shoofly · 29/07/2019 23:21

Soda and Veda bread. Tayto, (prefer Northern Tayto) Traybakes. Potato bread. Kettyle bacon is great as is Fermanagh Black Bacon (although apparently you can get it in Harrods too) Club orange and rock shandy

MitziK · 29/07/2019 23:25

Clonakilty puddings and sausages are available from Ocado, as is Barry's Tea, Flahavans, Mikado and Kerrygold.

Which leaves more space for Club Orange, Red Lemonade and Taytos.

Deemail · 29/07/2019 23:27

Boxty, chocolate Kimberly, few packs Odlum brown bread mix so you can make your own in a flash, o haras/Gallagher white loaf, Kelly's white and black pudding.

Absolutely nothing from Ballymaloe or their associated businesses who failed to distance themselves from their close relation/joint owner for having indecent images of children on a company computer.

JLo1979 · 29/07/2019 23:28

My cousin always asks me to bring chef brown sauce. My aunt asks for griddle bread and cheesecakes(they're not cheesecakes, they're jam tarts with a sponge on top but they're called cheesecakes). My brother is club orange and tayto.

WoahBodyforrrm · 29/07/2019 23:29

White pudding 🤤

fancynancyclancy · 29/07/2019 23:31

Some Tesco’s have Irish bits in their world aisle section. There’s also an Irish shop in Tooting.

DontCallMeShitley · 29/07/2019 23:32

Guinness cheese

Ballymaloe Chutney
Veda
Potato bread
Hannans salt aged beef - it’s Nigella’s favourite (she gets it shipped to London) and is sooo meltingly delicious
