Caramac Bars,I have not seen them on sale in Dublin in about 10 years.

I know you can get it in Donegal but that's the only place other than the north I've ever seen it...

** Pasta 'n' Sauce ** (Batchelors I think, blue packet)

Chicken and Mushroom... 10 minutes on the hob with a bit of butter and milk... Absolutley amazing...

Not really a snack but you can't get Veda bread in the Republic. It's very nice toasted, you know.

"Caramac Bars" yeh I forgot about them used to love them.
I don't know if you can get the new Walkers Crisps flavour here. or different flavour Skips other than prawn cocktail, a few years ago here you could get curry flavour ships and other flavours

Irn Bru can be got in about 75% of soft drink selling shops in the republic.

It's bloody brilliant for a hangover.

Ginger Crunch biscuits in Sainsbury's - they are too die for. they are absolutely gorgeous

You can sometimes get that in Boots.

Anyone know if you can get Salt & Vinegar Peanuts in Norn Iron??

Ann22 · 21-04-2009 06:13PM

Sandwich pickle...Heinz tangy one is lovely, brightens up boring chicken, salad or cheese.

My favourite treat was always orange Aero, but sadly I haven't seen it for about a year now even in Northern Ireland.:(

Lemon After Eights :cool:

A few shops in Limerick sell Cherry Coke & Cherry 7-up

Plain dorito's almost impossible to get down here. Jalapeno poppers,Marmite rice cakes, Lyles golden syrup ice cream, Kraft cheesy pasta, great meat pies and pasties and definately pork scratchings. My brother lives in Birmingham and when I visit him I always go to the market there's a butchers stall there that does amazing scratchings

byte · 28-04-2009 08:58PM

Marmite rice cakes? Lyles Syrup icecream? :eek:

Whatever will they think of next...

I'd actually like to try the Lyles icecream.

TheDrog · 28-04-2009 10:07PM

it's great there are little bits of treacle sponge through it.
