To ask for help from someone who lives in Ireland?

[DormerBay]

I feel so silly asking this when we are all facing such big challenges at the moment, but thought maybe someone could help me out.

My son's favourite snack has been discontinued by the manufacturers. He's loved then for years, and is gutted. He has some additional needs, so changes like this are a bigger deal for him than most kids. He's eeked out his last packet but they are now all gone.

I've found a website in Ireland that says this food is still in stock. I've not found it in stock anywhere in England. I was hoping that if I got an order delivered to a MNetter in Ireland, they would be kind enough to forward the order on to me? I would cover all costs, and make a small donation to a charity as a thank you?

Is there a kind MNetter that could help?

Thank you in advance!

I was thinking you needed purple snack bars

Omg I can't get them anywhere in London - I think about them daily at the moment ! My mum sent a few packs recently but have just run out!

I currently have 2 smallish empty boxes and one enormous one from deliveries today so could try and pack safely in one of them.[/quote]
I have no idea why this has posted multiple times! It wouldn't post for me so I messaged instead.

@XFPW - I'm really not trying to harass you

Seems like @Rainallnight had the same issue.

@missmouse101

Is it those fab marshmallow biscuits? I used to work with the best Irish girl whose parents would send them over. Can't remember their name though!

Kimberley biscuits! The tesco used sell those as well😢

@Zixxy

OP has us all bewildered. Get on with it love and tell us what you want. This kind of secrecy about a product is very annoying where many could help you out.

But that is the premise of your thread I suppose. Unless it is drugs or explosives or other illegal stuff, just tell us.

But you won't. Not impressed, it couldn't be that much of a secret!

I genuinely didn't start this thread with the intention of winding people up!

Thanks to all that have offered to help. I am very grateful. I hope my Irish lead does have them in stock.

For those that really wanted to know, the snack in question is this: www.hollandandbarrett.com/shop/product/kallo-organic-savoury-rice-cakes-60013741
so if anyone spots any in the wild, let me know!

I am aware Marmite make their own version but according to DS, they do not compare in any way. I'd better not introduce him to these Tayto things on that basis!

Thanks for your lovely offers of help. It really is much appreciated. I'm hoping DS will get a little stock as a result of your kindness 🙂

Did you get sorted? If you need more help pm me.

If it's Icebergers they don't post well.

God, yes, sorry, I didn’t do that on purpose. I’ve seen it happen on other threads too.

Well done OP. Now we know, many more might be able to help you now. All the best!

Wonder why tastes and ingredients vary so much between Ireland and UK/NI. Anyone know?

No problem, can do it anytime op if you want to keep all the names that volunteered. Please add Tayto to your list tho, no other crisp compares!

I'm so relieved you've told us what it is OP hope you get sorted!!

My favourite crisps ever are NI spring onion Tayto. Can't find them over here anywhere!!!

Tayto causes conflict. I won't go into the tasty details obviously I'm biased.
Glad you got sorted OP.
