Irish treats for England

[buzzbeebee]

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?

Mikados
Barry's Tea
Clonakilty Black Pudding

I saw Tanora in a Tesco in Dublin recently! Memories...

Are tobacco onions an Irish thing?

Ive never had an iceberger around long enough to see if it melts

Tanora was another lovely fizzy drink, we used get it in Cork. Tangerine flavour. Don't know if it's still made...

It is indeed still made here. I polished off a bottle of it last night. Ice cold Tanora is pure nectar.

Also debating about getting Calvita! (plastic cheese should go the distance of travel time?)

Ah here. There's no reason in this day and age for anyone still to be eating Calvita!

No not with the other cheeses, it was in a weird place with Polish stuff etc. In a random section full of dubious looking sausages

Highly amused with the humble Calvita stuck in with the dubious looking sausages. It must have felt right out of place!

Club Orange or Rock Shandy in cans. Tricky enough to find unless you're in one of the old Irish areas but one of the things I miss!

PARTY MIX & CLUB ORANGE!!!!

my partner lives in Dublin and they are my go to faves!!

Lindy2 Club Orange is a soda drink, similar to fanta i guess but made with real fruit pieces like Orangina etc - they do different flavours but theres nothing on earth like ice cold Club Orange on a hangover

Asda occasionally have an 'Irish Food' Section in their larger stores, this is a must purchase!

If you have a cold box - pear picking porkies, rocky rasps, polly pineapples, Mr frosties and some choc pops!!

Club Orange and a chicken fillet roll is totally the best hangover cure :D

I never heard of Veda.
Punjana tea is better than Barry's or Lyons. There I've said it.
Top Hats are delish.

Thanks everyone - some fantastic ideas. I am going to go with kimberleys and top hats as it's for to put in the staff room.
