    Ritter Sport chocolate. You can get one or two kinds of it here sometimes, but nowhere near the enormous variety I'd be used to from home. So I regularly get my mum to send some over.

    Same goes for jams. Too little choice here :(
    And I do love rosehip jam.

    Corned beef. Irish pubs across the globe have it, you never see it here though.

    Roquefort cheese - you can buy it here but it doesn't taste the same(like most things from abroad).

    Sorry, I meant 'tap' indeed ;)

    What about a decent German Lager, such as Warsteiner or Krombacher? Or 'Diebels Alt' (even if it's not a Lager, but very yummy)

    In fairness Irish food might be expensive but its incredible. You go the UK and the sausages are ****, you go to Germany and the butter is inedible ( the most popular butter in German is Irish made Kerrygold), you go to Italy and you miss a good burger.

    The only food I miss, is Irish food on holidays. You can never beat Kerrygold or Irish beef.

    Meh, keep the Warsteiner, but if you can find Radeberger on tap anywhere, do let me know.

    Well, if you can get butter in Ireland.
    For some reason the Irish seem to be mostly content with "dairy spreads", to the point of even calling them butter.
    I can honestly say I'd never before tasted anything so vile.

    I'm not keen on either sausages nor burgers, so can't comment on that.

    Ah now, you can get more than one or two types of it in Ireland. You'd regularly see 5+ varieties of it in shops here, or two or three at the very least.

    You must be kidding, a Cumberland Sausage beats any of the crap Irish ones any day of the week.

    Irish beef takes some beating though.

    Can pick up some great veg from some of the ethnic shops though, love me a bit of Okra.

    Can't get enough exotic meats in Ireland. No zebra, ostrich, kangaroo or crocodile. Usually being them back with me from trips to the UK(Waitrose, how amazing you are...)

    You can buy fresh ostrich in Ireland - there's a farm that breeds them in Donegal(nice if you can get it). Cumberland sausages are my favourite (the big curved one's that is:) but not as good as a nice Lorne slice on a roll in the morning).
