    Astonishing that no one has been on to mention Magees menswear yet.

    Fantastic middle of the road suits and other Tweed. All my Magee purchases have stood the test of time, it is a very reliable brand imo.

    Problem with tweed these days is that it's associated with knackers like Conor McGregor. A shame.

    Conzo is alright.

    He gets a bad press from a lot of haters. He donated € 1 million in PPE to frontline workers.

    I understand he also helps with homeless donations.

    He looks ravishing in blue - what a hunk.

    Pretty sure there's no Irish bread, as we don't produce flour in this country.

    McGillycuddy's S&M gear. Handmade in Listowel, Co. Kerry.
    Very hardwearing and wipes clean easily.

    (P.S. Right now gimp masks are two for the price of one!)

    I was gifted one of their jumpers 2 years back. Really excellent quality. After a wash it comes out good as new, no sagging/stretching at the cuffs that you get with poorer brands.

    Big fan of everything mentioned saved the Clonakilty puddings. Find it very gristly these days. Rudds is far better.

    Glenisk Yoghurts are fantastic, and so is Glenstal salted butter. Green Saffron spices are really good also, I sometimes treat myself to a bowl of curry from their stall in the Limerick Farmer's Market.

    milk is milk. own brand is as good as avonmore.

    Most of the big and own brand milk has been refrigerated for nearly a week before you get it in your fridge. If you want it fresher buy the local co-op stuff.

    sudocrem,

    best irish creation ever

    Living in the UK (emigrated a while ago) I was surprised and pleased in equal measure when we were given that in the maternity unit on the birth of our first. Nothing touches it for nappy rash :-)

    The ‘Ardkeen Quality Food Store’ in Waterford do some really excellent hampers. They curate quality goods from around the country to put in them.

    There are a number of different “ready made” options or you can, simply, “build your own” on their website. A, truly, wonderful gift for someone in these unprecedented times.

    Also, the packaging is eco-friendly.

    I want to say in the topic of the branch. In the worst case, everyone can just get drunk)) The alcohol industry is well developed in Ireland. A couple of glasses of Tulamore and a couple of pints of Guinness and the problem with food will no longer be so important)

    I'm surprised Club Orange has never been marketed abroad.

    Anyone with properly functioning tastebuds knows it's far superior to Fanta
    There's no such thing as Fanta.

    Coke buy out the leading orange drink in each market and and rebrand it Fanta. It varies wildly from country to country.

    Diet Club Orange. The regular stuff is too sticky.

    Athula foods from Cork. A Sri Lankan (I think) who makes wonderful curry and pasta sauces. The jalfrezi in particular is lovely and spicy. Up there with Green Saffron spices already mentioned. I always stock up in my local Supervalu.

    Chef brown sauce is mine. I have to have it with a fried breakfast. On another note Irish milk (Only from the south not NI as it tastes of cheese) is the best, any other milk in Europe even in the Netherlands is undrinkable
