Golden Nuggets/Corn Pops cereal

Go to tesco they sell them

Linku · 09-12-2008 08:34PM

Another for Mountain Dew.

Also, varieties of Hershies bars, you can get the plain ones in some places, but the almond ones are drool...

edit: also the cooler can/bottles of Jolt they sell in the US

Green coffee beans. No one sells it here. I've just had to import 20 kg today from the UK.

Big Bags of Salt and Vinegar Lays.
Fanta that tasted the way it did before they changed it.
Buffalo wings....(not the sh*t that is passed off as them over here.)

St. John's Wart :rolleyes:

You can get 500ml bottles of Dr. Pepper in Limerick.

I'd like to see cans and 500ml bottles of Mountain Dew. Also Sobe softdrinks - again an American product.

Rice -A-Roni - The San Francisco Treat :pac:

Taco Bell

Sourdough Bread from Safeway in the States. The stuff here is muck.

Bottles of Red Stripe Beer & Sierra Nevado Beer.

**** it would be easier if I just moved to the States.

For all Dr Pepper addicts - you need to get your collective asses across the border to Newry or Lisburn and stock up on the stuff.

Just one advantage of living near the border

Panera Bread
Taco bell
Yeungling beer
beef jerky
ranch dressing

Ive always wanted to try a corndog. Sounds like something that would work in chippers over here except change the name to something like batter stick or somethin.

Actually yeah, I havent had one in years but that would be a great idea.

I would have said vanilla coke but they discontinued the line about 2 years ago

That was good stuff.

How about some decent Ice Cream? Before Aldi and Lidl came about, you couldnt find anything but a cardboard box full of artificially flavored vanilla shyte. I mean, you couldnt even get vanilla right. Thats just sad.

rashuns and grainwave crisps - new zealand.

Also Twinkies. Wonder what the immortal food tastes like.

+1 on the Dunkin Donuts
I remember there were a few Dunkin Donuts places in Dublin years ago. There was one where I lived -- The apple ones were the nicest:) Havn't seen a Dunkin Donuts store in years though...they must have pulled their business out of the country.

I think Fanta anywhere but Ireland tastes like water, as far as I know, we're the only place in the world where they use real oranges in Fanta.

Dr. Pepper is available in any Spar that I know of in Dublin, I drink it all the time

They did, some Shell garages used to stock them, loved 'em.
They're doing really well in the states now though, expanding rapidly whereas Starbucks are closing, and Dunkin Donuts and McDonalds coffee beat Starbucks in taste tests, so I'm hopeful for a return! There's Krispy Kremes available all over London now too, so maybe we'll get those eventually!

Super cans.

I don't think I've had one of them since 1984.

I want some Cherry Coke.
Got some in Armagh a few years back. Still can't find it anywhere this side of the border though.

Sainsbury's in Newry sell that, if you're in dire need of a little pick me up.:)
I'd love if they sold those savoury 'biscuits' in KFC the way they do in the Us. They're like little salty scones, they just go lovely with the chicken....mmmm! I love their pancakes and maple syrup too( American ones not kfc's).

Little tiny Nuclear bomb to blow up the absolutely fantastic talented actors of fair city, all of them, dead, I want them all dead.

We used to have Dunkin Donuts here but it was crap. Krispy Kreme is much better.

Try your local Molloys for Sierra Nevada, they usually have the pale ale in stock.

DIT SU shops have it, so it must be in some cash and carries.

There's quite a selction of Hershey's bars in my local Mace. I think most of them literally taste like vomit, but Reese's Nutrageous is amazing.

Celticfire · 09-12-2008 09:20PM

Rashers , sausages and pudding

ejmaztec · 09-12-2008 09:20PM

I haven't seen this stuff over here, but a different variety might still be around here somewhere. :eek:

Attachment not found.

I would LOVE to be able to get Pork Scratchings here. have to make do with getting ripped off for them on ebay at the moment:(

Or, just root beer. I know no one else likes it, but I think it's bloody delicious.

Ah. How could I forget root beer.

It's available here by jones soda co. (shop around. Not many shops stock them)

Never understood why nobody in Ireland ever opened a Taco Bell, I love their food, really feckin' nice stuff and a change from the usual crap we get here in fast food places.

Nehaxak · 09-12-2008 09:38PM

Oh and I can't find cans of Britvic orange juice anymore here
