Oh man, proper haggis? With neeps and tatties!? Oh yes!

I remember talking about haggis before on After Hours, and people thought I was mad :pac:

Prune juice. There is nothing like it to clean you out

A friend of mine balked at the idea of eating lamb curry once, but the thing is he'd eat a lamb dinner, like roast lamb with mash and veg, but curry? He looked positively disgusted.

Problem with lamb in a curry, there's a good chance you'll get lower quality meat. Fatty and chewy. Chicken is hard to fúck up.

I didn't quite get it. Thanks for clearing it up.

Turkish bread. All sandwiches henceforth should legally be forced to use Turkish bread.

Seafood and sushi like others have said, also avocados.

Laksa too, bordering on impossible to find in Ireland at times but holy jaysus it's just amazing.

tartiflette - kinda Swiss / French dish they serve in the mountains.has to be the tastiest dish out there.very bad for you I'd imagine but taste wise it's second to none.rosti is savage too,Swiss hash brown dish with bacon and usually served with fried egg.

Geuze.

Pretty much any fresh seafood or fresh sushi (not supermarket sushi which is fine but not the same). I really miss getting fresh sushi for lunch now I'm in the sticks.

Beef jerky - love the stuff but having to buy it online as I can't find any locally in supermarkets is too much waiting about for a snack.

Turkish delight bars

Duck - a lot of people I know seem to avoid it but I think it's very tasty

Roasted chestnuts, they can be tasty roasted in a little salt and olive oil

Stormington · 29-12-2014 11:49PM

avocados

Yup. Lovely, although I consume more via smoothies.

As for the OP, you're not alone in your love of herbal teas - I've gone mad for the berry flavour stuff lately. I loves my bright pink drink.

Most Tesco's around Dublin and a good few Centras have them in my experience, not mad on the stuff but it can be good to have something to chew on rather than stuffing your face with chocolate etc. Quite sure it is listed as jerky, but it might be as billtong (I think they're the same, or at least a miniscule difference?).

There is only one fizzy orange worth buying and that's Finches orange.

The only reason Fanta is in all shops is because it's a Coca Cola own it, it's a far inferior product. Marginally better but still overrated is Club orange which the publicans all seem to buy

Borsch - An Eastern European dish that is just amazing and also healthy. Google image it and drool.

Also traditional Vietnamese food is amazing. Noodle / Soup based dishes but oh so different to Chinese and again very healthy.

Tesco Potato Sticks-exactly like KP Mini Chips but Ready Salted flavour. Tons in the bag and only €1.19.

Applewood Smoked Cheddar-nobody I've mentioned it to seems to eat it.

Port. Amazing stuff. Like a cross between wine and brandy but far nicer than either. All most people will have had in Ireland, if anything, though, is Sandemans basic Ruby or Tawny. The Budweiser of the port world. Gives port a bad name that stuff. A really good port is an awesome drinking experience. Nom nom.

Taramasalata. Was standing in the dips section looking for some in both Tesco and Dunnes. 47 different types of hummus (disgusting muck IMO) not a tub of Taramasalata to be found. Criminal.

And pork scratchings. We import them (fill a rucksack full when visiting mum) from the UK. Horrendously bad for you but totally delicious.

J20 juice in a bottle. Usually only see it for sale in the euro shops and up the north, its delish.

mikemac1 · 30-12-2014 12:10AM

Britvic 55. I wonder do pubs still sell it?

Are they not in every Irish pub called bacon fries?
