Ya know I'm very sad these days because it's impossible to get my absolutely favourite food Heinz Miracle Whip, Tuna just doesn't taste the same. Anyone have an idea where you can get this in Limerick or Dublin?

Ya know I'm going to open up a nostalgia shop sure it would make a fortune.

Up until quite recently I got Miracle Whip in Dunnes (Galway). When I say recently-about 6 months. I used to love it on iceberg lettuce with bread, yummy. But no sign of it lately at all. Remember Cheese Whizz? Spreadable cheese from a jar? I loved it. Then again that was back in the very early 80's and there was not much to choose from then!

Had the same problem when my misses had a baby, lads if your misses is ever having a baby stay away from the goal end, it's just never the same after seeing a head other, than your own, coming out of it.

It's very difficult to find good ham in Ireland. When I was home for Christmas my mother brought home this supposedly 'finest' or 'specially selected' ham from one of the supermarkets. It was luridly pink and shiny. I hesitantly put a slice of it on a slice of my Mother's delicious brown bread. The ham was horrific. Inedible. Coming from a packet I should have known it would be like that. Freshly sliced ham from the local butcher was marginally better after I went into town to buy some. Wouldn't hold a candle to the delicious hams and cured meats available here in Germany.

They're still available in multipacks in some supermarkets. Unfortunately the recipe seems to have changed & they're pretty much flavourless lumps of corndust nowadays. No doubt their accountants told them that it was more profitable to produce crap than the wonderful snack of the '80s.

I live between Dublin and Limerick. Shop in Dunnes in Limerick and Supervalu in Dub and the feckers never have it. Tried Centra and Spars and they're the same as well.

Agree though about food becoming more tasteless. You can't get dip dab anymore and that was jsut crazy that they could sell a bag of sugar with a lolly. Same problem with tv, gone be the days when bullets would fly, plans would come together and not a drop of blood would have been spilt.
