Ahhh Coxinhas, pastels and my favourite - kibes. Brazil is great for snacks like that.

And Antarctica beer! that stuff is gorgeous, in fact i'm gonna stock up on that for christmas! sweet!

(I live in brazil)

Heh, it shows. You can get Brahma here, and it's nice, but it's not Brahma Chopp. And it's not Antartica either. A rodizio or however one spells it (curse my bad Portugese) would be deadly too.

Wendy's Flame Grilled Burger... drools! Also Snapple Iced Tea, both American products.

Also Carmex lip cream which I don't is available in Ireland, I bought several tubes last time I was out and it really is great especially recently that the cold weather has started cracking & chapping the lips.

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.

Cherry Coke... The first thing I thought of when I read the thread title.

A friend's (smokin hot) sister brought me back 2 bottles from the states a few years back, that was the last time I had some.

A Portuguese-Spanish dictionary.

Prof.Badass · 10-12-2008 03:12PM

everclear + absinthe.

although it depends what you mean by "sell" (ie does it have to be a legal sale). I'd like to see more mind-alterables on sale in shops.

missmatty · 10-12-2008 03:45PM

Asthma inhalers without prescription. About 70% cheaper in Europe. Everytime I'm away I stock up like some mad junkie :pac:

p~b · 10-12-2008 04:06PM

white crunch bars, gatorade and hooters

Spud83 · 10-12-2008 04:09PM

Yep. last two/three months I believe. Yet to try it though and find out if it is the same. It better not turn out like that O'Briens in Perth. Man that was a disappointment.

anonymous_joe · 10-12-2008 04:30PM

Guarana would kinda rock.

I vaguely remember not liking Mountain Dew but it's been years...

Edgedinblue · 10-12-2008 04:34PM

ordinary_story · 10-12-2008 04:41PM

Golden Grahams
A breakfast roll (never wanted one until last sunday)

Monkey61 · 10-12-2008 04:43PM

Tab - I had to give up the diet coke years ago cos the caffeine was killing me. This stuff is a million times better. No calories and no caffeine. Pure adulterated chemically fizzy goodness. Marvellous.

Apple pop tarts - I allowed myself one box in London recently, but it cost about £6.

Krispy Kreme donuts too.

In fairness it's just as well you can't get this stuff in Ireland because I would be a sugar coated fatty in no time.

In non-food related products it would have to be decent runners in girly sizes. America really opened my eyes!

They have that in the chemists across the road from me.

Guarana's a fruit. Basically they have fizzy Guarana soft drink in Brazil. It tastes like Red Bull (well Red Bull tastes like it to be exact ) but slightly more natural. It's really nice.

jobucks · 10-12-2008 04:54PM

Newcastle Brown Ale... yummy
and of course the obligatory cherry coke and vimto
Wendys
Woolworths shops... want them back.. I remember there used to be a huge one on Patrick Street, Cork years ago ( I know its not something you can buy but would still like one!):)

Biggins · 10-12-2008 04:54PM

As of a few days ago, Irish rashers!

talkingclock · 10-12-2008 05:00PM

Brot, real bred, neither Soda nor Toast
Quark (the Normandy Frommage Frais from Tesco is close to it but not perfect)
Pflaumenmus, plum butter

the lady · 10-12-2008 05:00PM

cherry coke is now on sale in Boots in the liffey valley centre. this makes me happy

Headshot · 10-12-2008 05:05PM

partyatmygaff · 10-12-2008 05:05PM

proper falafel and kushari

I love middle eastern food

Some vanilla coke would be nice too and I would love it if they sold glass bottles of coke, it tastes much better

Stuff that you want but no one sells in Ireland
