    QFT. Always gets a 'no' from me.

    Have to admit I'm a big fan of the salt and pepper on a sandwich. Depends very much on the sandwich though. I wouldn't exactly be putting it on a ham and cheese but on a chicken salad it's delish.

    a chicken roll without salt and pepper simply isnt a chicken roll. black pepper is too underrated in ireland

    Coileach dearg, are you based in NZ or OZ?

    NZ has Moro bars.

    Ya, cans are bigger here. 350ml is standard.

    Loved those big cans. Just back from Egypt though, and they basically beat everyone cause they have 500ml cans of Coke! They are fcuking awesome.
    I came to the comclusion a long time ago that 330ml is not enough to accompany any meal.

    I love avocadoes. How much are they in Ireland? They are $1.99 here but I think they were cheaper in NZ. Why are people getting fussed about salt and pepper on a sandwich ffs!! You guys are probably people who bring ham and butter sandwiches to work!

    add a little bit of pineapple and make it extra tasty

    edit:
    without the taytos
    Taytos should be enjoyed alone on bread

    You're all freaks. I have a lemon tree in my back garden, that's cool. And a mandarin tree I had in NZ in my yard. Why did people settle in ireland at all, where all you can grow is feckin' potatoes!

    Same here. Lemon tree, mint, peppers, basil, rosemary, and a few more random bits in my back garden.

    But no Tayto Cheese and Onion plant :-(

    Speaking of which. I find it very hard to find cheese and onion flavoured crisps in this country.

    Really? I've just cracked open a bag of Smith's Cheese & Onion. Not the same as Tayto but does the job.

    Yes, awesome!
    A Ham cheese and pineapple sambo is great. Basically a Hawaiian sandwich.

    Not here.
    There was a brand that did them. Now I can't find them anymore, not even in the supermarkets.
    Haven't had a cheese and onion sandwich in months.

    Seriously, crisp sandwiches, this isn't the 80s anymore! Expand your palets!! What is it with fascination with Tayto anyway? I don't eat crisps much but the smiths ones are grand, and they have your beloved Cheese and Onion.

    It's just somethin you grew up on. And sure you know the Irish, they love anything familiar that wreaks of home.

    My ma used to feed me bread, milk, and sugar, in a bowl, for some reason. Jesus what was that all about, it was horrible. Ok we were all poor in the 80s but not that bleedin' poor! I'll have to have a word with her next time we speak!
