The Irish Shop - is it still open?

[GipsyRose]

Kimberley, Mikado or Coconut Cream.......:) Amazing..............

[muffins78]

I've got my own Mr Tayto here now! Just been and got fab white pudding, and far too many Taytos and Snax. The Mikado's etc need to wait until Friday, when the brown bread and apple tarts are due in!

Oh I love this shop :)

[Frankie G]

Open today just got the sausages for our tea. Happy days

[RoLo1]

Always preferred King's myself. Controversial I know. But why are they only available at home, I am sure there must be an underground movement just waiting to burst out. Rise up ppl!

Still can't believe Walkers launched in Ireland in last 10 years. Pah!

[StraferJack]

Everything rolo1 said. Every word

Kings crisps ftw

[muffins78]

Oh god, yes, Kings! Why can't you get them over here?

But I also like Ranchero's, and I've remembered Meanies just now too!

They had macaroon bars today, can you get Klipso's in the UK - if there was ever a way to ensure a near encounter with a dentist, it was with a Klipso :)

Is there anywhere around here that you can just go to the pub and order a toasted sandwich, rather than a bigger meal! I miss those types of comfort foods when out!!

Pretty relevant bit about 2 min 15secs in, hehehehe.....

"Have you said a prayer to St Anthony" - I think that's my mother talking circa 1975

[El Pibe]

Never got the Taytos thing I must say.

Or Barrys, just more shit tea, see also Yorkshire/PG Tips etc.

White pudding, now that's another thing altogether

[cmck83]

The only thing that was missing from the video was a Mam being upset about the emersion being left on. That was my entire childhood; being shouted at about the emersion.

El Pibe, I am sure the Irish Shop sells Denny's white pudding.

[muffins78]

CMCK83 that's hilarious! I've a big grin on my face - the Glenroe bit with the homework rings true :) And of course the byes x 100, I can't seem to get passed that myself :)

I've got to watch the others now!

There is definitely white pudding in the Irish shop, I got it the other day, it was yummy!! I may have ate too much of it!

"Get up tu fuCk" - I reckon that's my mother around the same time, making me 'put sin on her soul on a Sunday' in order to encourage me along to share in the Holy Sacrament.

[GipsyRose]

Gig Girl - I always pray to St Anthony and he has found me more "stuff" than I care to remember (yes I am probably certifiable but what works for some....)

[muffins78]

Gran always went to St Anthony too - and gee, he made a fortune whilst all those prayers were said :) It makes me smile!

The emersion was another big thing at home too, and why have it on, if the fire was lighting, because that heated up the house anyway! Leading from that, I was like a yo-yo getting up/down from the couch, to put the damper in/out! Still don't understand the merits of that! Its like a reflex now when I visit home :)

The frying pan is about to go now, as I get the breakfast ready with sausages, rashers, pudding and brown bread from yesterdays purchases at the shop!

Actually I also bought flour for the first time, usually when I bake, my cakes look a bit limp - and I wondered if I bought the Odlums would it make a difference, and it has! The cakes look much better! I've no idea why, unless its the recipe!

Cooking time!!! :)

[Alan Medic]

If you like soda bread and have a breadmaker they have flour for that too.

[Alan Medic]

There's always soda bread there but I was talking about making your own......sort of. I think they have two different sizes of soda bread.

[muffins78]

It comes in fresh on Fridays - and apple tarts too!

But yes they have all types of flour too! But have to admit, I was never a soda bread eater growing up, but have grown quite fond of this now!
