    In fairness, you cant buy that here either, apart from Shannon Airport and the celtic whiskey shop.

    Legal stuff anyway. If you get into the black market then that opens everything up for discussion. I am sure Cheeseburger Eddie in Guantanamo Bay can get you a Supermacs smokey bacon burger for the right money.

    There's a Whiskey shop in the centre of Munich that sells the legal REAL poitin. It has a label on the front saying its not for sale in Ireland.

    Strange. Minced beef or "bœuf haché" is pretty common over there in my experience.

    Isn't steak tartar a traditional french dish made from mince beef

    The name is where the similarities end. Maybe the mistake of asking for Bulmers in a Glasgow pub a couple of months ago, and its pure rotten.
    Did so last weekend, rotten stuff. The stuff of nightmares.

    It's essentially like normal Guinness but way stronger ~7% and it's also a browner head.

    The Guinness in Oz is made by a local brewery, Carlton, and they make the bottles 6%, dunno about the tap though surely the same?

    True, but usually made from beef of a much higher standard, probably fillet, rather than what you'd use to make bœuf haché.

    Those plastic shopping bag things that grannies tie to their heads when it's raining.

    They have supervalu in spain aswell.

    I shopped in one in Spain too. The only thing it has in common is the logo and name. I thought it might stock more Irish stuff but no.

    Hazelnut Yogurt. When I lived in Australia I couldn't find it anywhere. And if you think about it, it is an odd flavour to have.

    I can get Barrys tea here in Texas, but for the life of me I cant find a brand of milk, butter or even cream that comes close to Connacht Gold or any Irish dairy brand.
    I can get dubliner cheese though!

    That's not true. The one in Benalmadena has a supermarket. You can get Kerrygold butter there.

    Mikados, Kimberley choc and ordinary, barrys and lyons tea, tayto, emerald sweets these are not really generally available, i sell all these abroad through my ebay shop A Taste Of Ireland .

    Suprisingly one of the biggest sellers at the moment is Lincoln biscuits.

    Thats a good idea, do you make a lot of money from this?

    My local (in small crappy town in) NE Scotland used to have both on Draught! :D
    But last time I went home (2004) they'd got rid of both taps and replaced them with Guinness :(

    Whole Foods have various Irish butters and cheeses available
    (in ATX anyway), and HEB seem to be heading that way too,
    and not a moment too soon :)
