You know you're really Irish when...

...you tell the barman to put the change in the poor box.

Sorry, not me. I'm currenty soda bread all the way.

Has anyone actually tried this?

Tayto chocolate bar

Veda bread? Cad é?

Is it like Maltana?

hahaha. Can't beat a bit of veda with some fivemiletown cheddar

cantbeatanotherone
its a malt rye bread (me thinks).
Its scrummy.

I'd love some Maltana with a thick slab of butter and a cup of tea now.

I need to hunt it down, I have never heard of it.

This Tayto bars are vom. I live in Cork and a huge treat is a box of hot salty popcorn with a giant bag of Malteesers dumped in. Now that is yum.

encyclo Agreed! although I prefer galaxy counters :)

Poor Lottie, she was sharing a memory / story about her late DH for god's sake.

Charley What about Brennan's batch? Or a St Catherine's loaf? I miss picking the bread strips off the "heel" of them.

I miss Superquinn sausages and Brennans batch.... sossie sambos

Superquinn sausages are devine. I love them.

Yes, waiting, bad cess to those who shouted her down. No need at all

I love a wee bit of Brennans, there is no other pan loaf that comes near it. It's so expensive though

I'd kill for some Perri cheese popcorn.

My parents were from Mayo, and so many of these bring back lovely memories.
We spent all our summers over there, and they are now buried over there, so now we go over with our children, just like they did with us (although we no longer take that torturous Liverpool-Dublin ferry!) Sad though as lots of the relatives have now died, and things have changed..but still love going.

Anyhow, one of the memories of my mum are when she'd raise her eyes to heaven and exclaim either "sweet sacrament" or "jesus, mary and the joseph". One of my cousins does it now and makes me laugh with the sorrowful expression on her face!

Discovered recently that ocado sells Barry's tea!! Now just need to persuade them to sell club orange and Tayto and we'll be sorted. My DC's have developed a habit for both of them, our car is laden at the end of the holidays

Watched Moone Boy earlier now this, properly homesick. Had DCs back in Ireland last week and they were thoroughly confused by the guards, being bold, "well" instead of hello and lots of where's yer mammy.

Then went up North to ILs and they learned about coupons and scelps.

Jaysus can you get Veda in London?!!!

Oh God Barry's Tea. It's yer only man!

now, is that a skelp as in 'I'll give ye a skelp round the back o' the legs for being bold' or a skelph as in a teeny piece of wood that has got stuck in your finger and needs pulled out with tweezers?
