Been in Ireland 27 years and only just discovered this tasty relish, made since the 1960’s any other old Irish foods you could recommend?

  1. Wexford cheddar cheese is the best.

    Buffalo mozzarella cheese from Cork.

    Country style white pudding.

  2. Bewleys tea. Butlers Chocolate. Gubeen cheese, Cashel blue cheese (there are many more). Chocolate goldgrain biscuits.

  3. We don’t fuck around with cheese. Durrus is the best cheese I’ve ever tasted, made in Cork since the 70s. The smell is pretty intense to say the least but it tastes much milder than it smells, pure buttery goodness where you can basically taste the cow in it. So good. Crozier Blue is class as well, as is Young Buck from the North. And Mossfield. And St Tola for goat’s cheese, and Knockalara for sheep.

    Have had a few French friends visit who were like “yeah sure Irish cheese, it’s all sliced fuckin cheddar” so I fed them a spread of proper cheeses and they were blown away. They ask me to bring Irish cheese over to them now!

  4. put that on brennans bread, with real butter, a crushed bag of tayto and extra mature irish cheddar. You can thank me later.

  5. Chicken fillet roll and a breakfast roll.

    I’d be surprised if you hadn’t had either in your time in Ireland, but also not surprised given you somehow went 27 years not knowing about Ballymaloe.

  6. A lot of chefs refer to this as Pedo relish due to Tim Allen’s association with Ballymaloe

  7. Lads you’re all probably familiar with the soda bread up north and how when you put a friend egg, bacon and sausage between it it becomes a work of art.

    But if you ever find yourself in Belfast, pick yourself up a loaf of Veda bread. This very dark brown loaf has a soft almost doughy internal texture, and when cut into slices and toasted and drenched in butter it’s better than the body of Christ.

  8. Everyone has to try this:
    Multi-seed bagel (toasted) one side Ballymaloe Relish, other side Philadelphia Cream Cheese.
    2 Hickory smoked rashers.

  9. Mix 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon of ballymaloe – get two slices of batch bread – load the ballymaloe/mayo on the bread – add 2 grilled thick cut rashers – top with deep fried thick cut chips…you’re welcome!!

  10. Lidl have an alternative by the same company. Basically the same flavour and cheaper. They set up a production floor in the same factory I think
