Hi folks, I'm returning to visit my old work in England and wanted to bring the department some typical Irish treats that can't be got in England but can't think of what to bring. Any suggestions?

I'm still none the wiser as to what top hats actually are, but I think I want themGrin

HolyShmoly · 11/08/2017 21:11

Hold the phone. Moro's haven't been discontinued and replaced with Boosts? They just don't sell them in England?

I've never made that connection.

And another thing - why can't you get West Coast Cooler over here? They are my go-to wedding drink and I can't get them so I end up drinking way too much prosecco and doing shots with strangers...

But yeah, taytos, kimberly, oatfield sweets...

Changebagsandgladrags · 11/08/2017 21:11

All of the Irish Cadbury bars.
Club orange and club lemon
Galtee 'cheese'

HolyShmoly · 11/08/2017 21:12

Nancy, you melt chocolate then pour it into bun cases and pop a marshmallow on it. If you're being extra fancy you put a bit of melted chocolate onto a smarty and stick it on top. That's literally it. I don't understand why this is an Irish thing and not an internationally loved treat.

Wolfiefan · 11/08/2017 21:14

Veda. Can you ship us a container over?! Grin

treaclesoda · 11/08/2017 21:16

nancy my heart is aching a little bit for you not ever having had a top hat. Sad

In N Ireland no child has ever attended a birthday party that doesn't have top hats. It's the law.

Iwannasnack · 11/08/2017 21:18

Kimberley
Tiffin
Barry's tea
Clonnakilty

Lindy2 · 11/08/2017 21:19

We can get Club Orange quite easily in England (assuming you're talking about the chocolate biscuit) but I've never even heard of Club Lemon let alone seen one.
The top hats look good (once I realised you didn't actually mean head wear! 😂).

squoosh · 11/08/2017 21:22

PURPLE SNACKS!

Although I'm sad to see it's no longer in foil.

Also Cadbury Mint Crisp, Tiffin, Caramello. Can't get them in the UK.

nancy75 · 11/08/2017 21:25

Treacle my heart is aching too - I want a top hat! Thanks to Holyshmoly I now know how to make them - my waistline won't be thanking you Grin
