    Having narrowly missed meeting Daniel after he went to see a patient of my sisters boyfriend in hospital, because she was missing his gig, in Christchurch NZ, I can honestly say he has spread worldwide :P

    Not true. I can buy them here - theres an import chainstore called world market that does all that kinda crap: mcvitties biscuits and a whole rack devoted to Hello Kitty Foods. So ya can get Barry's Albeit for something stupid like $10 a box.

    http://www.worldmarket.com/home.jsp

    Rashers though, that really requires some effort. You can find the cut near enough, but its cured in shyte/pure salt. Any butchers here? Theres no definitive wiki page about the irish rasher so I wouldnt know what to tell to the guy at the meat counter.

    Bah. Reminds me of an irish bar/hostel in Bolivia I visited over the summer - they had a pack of Tayto sellotaped to the wall of the bar, but only as a trophy not to actually sell. Tis a terrible thing to find out at 3 in the morning when you've been eyeing them all night. :(

    You used to be able to get Balck, Red and Blue in the UK, not sure now though. Carrolls Cigarettes are only available in Ireland I think

    So do the Brits, petrol is Cheaper in Ireland.

    did anyone mention "Bulmers Irish Cider". they only have the Bulmers trade mark in Ireland, hence it being called Magners in the rest of the world.

    I have never seen white pudding outside of Ireland, although the Scots do something similar I believe.

    I was thinking of opening a shop in England selling only Podge and Ridge stuff, White Pudding, Tayto and red Lemonade. I reckon I'd make a killing.

    You can get them in Libya, as some schools in libya do the Irish Leaving Cert course.

    Who said .ie domains? WRONG! You can get a .ie domain if you live in another country but can show substantial connection to the country(invoices etc)

    As for an irish passport, you can buy them on the nigerian black market for half nothing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,008 ✭✭✭not yet


    Black pudding, coddle in a pub, the rte guide.........and a ride on the luas or dart.

    A friend in the UK used to ask me to bring Club Orange, white pudding and one of the Cadbury's bars (Tiffin or Golden Crisp - can't remember) to the UK for her. I was surprised by the chocolate, but some of the Cadbury's bars are only made and sold here.

    What I'm more amazed about is what you can get in other countries. Like when I purchased Kerrygold butter in Lanzarote.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,185 ✭✭✭asdasd


    red or white lemonade.

    to be fair the juice of lemons is rarely red so it is understandable that furreners dont understand.

    From the list people have generated so far the only thing I agree with, besideds the Red lemonade madness, is that Cidona cant be bought outside Ireland. Yes, bulmers Irish cider cant be bought, but it is Magners so that is just a name. Taytos are available in certain shops, black pudding is certainly available everywhere, white pudding I've seen.

    Wrong. There's (still) a Bulmers company in England (H.P. Bulmer) which has been in existence for ages, much longer than the Irish equivalent, in fact (Woodpecker and Strongbow being the most well known products), but it's a totally different company to Bulmers in Ireland. It's all to do with the original owner of the Clonmel cider going into business with H.P. Bulmer, using the Bulmers trademark, and when they split up later on, they retained the use of the Bulmers trademark, but only in Ireland.

    Football Special and that Banana drink made by the same people. You can't really get them outside Donegal though.

    Edit: Crap, passed post 666 without making a big deal out of it. HAIL SATAN!
