The “value” selection of Irish treats that I’ve brought back to UK for friends – what did I miss ?

  1. Club Orange and TK Red Lemonade are definitely missing.

    I prefer the regular Kimberleys and Mikados to the chocolate ones but each to their own.

    Soda bread and white pudding also!

  2. Cadbury chocolate, especially since the whole Kraft affair. As a nordie I deliberately shop for my chocolate in the more “nationalist” newsagents to get the Irish bars, it is genuinely creamier and also UK Cadbury doesn’t have golden crisp, mint crisp, tiffen etc

    [edit to add] Also depending on how you are travelling, and the tastes of those you are visiting, West Coast Cooler is only Irish. I don’t drink much/big lightweight and it’s a pain the hole when I travel anywhere because the closest alternative is an alcopop like WKD which is not remotely the same thing, and is disgusting.
