I shopped in one in Spain too. The only thing it has in common is the logo and name. I thought it might stock more Irish stuff but no.

Hazelnut Yogurt. When I lived in Australia I couldn't find it anywhere. And if you think about it, it is an odd flavour to have.

I can get Barrys tea here in Texas, but for the life of me I cant find a brand of milk, butter or even cream that comes close to Connacht Gold or any Irish dairy brand.
I can get dubliner cheese though!

That's not true. The one in Benalmadena has a supermarket. You can get Kerrygold butter there.

Suprisingly one of the biggest sellers at the moment is Lincoln biscuits.

Thats a good idea, do you make a lot of money from this?

Whole Foods have various Irish butters and cheeses available

Red lead is that peculiar coloured circular processed meat (luncheon i think it's called).

Never saw it anywhere but here, but I might be wrong...

Ya HEB are getting in a few products, usually the larger HEB's only. I must check out Whole foods though, thanks for that.

Yeah you can't get all the usual stuff from home in America, but I'll tell you what they have in America you can't get back home:

Stuff is awesome. It's like mouthwash flavoured coke. I've even found a small "brewers" in Pennsylvania called A-Treat http://www.a-treat.com/Qstore.cgi?CMD=011&PROD=1056047186
Get it sent to me in Cleveland, they even do kegs :eek:

And I'd be surprised to hear if it is possible to buy Harp or Macardles or Kaliber non alcoholic beer anywhere beyond these fair shores

Some Irish bars in NY sell Harp and Kaliber non alcoholic is one of the most popular non alcoholic drinks over there! (I worked in a bar!):D

Do they still make that stuff though? used to love it when I was a kid...only soft drink I've seen that has a head...

I have none to add...someone mentioned Harp lager back up the thread; nope, saw that in a HEB in S. Texas some years back...6pk of bottles was about $13

Carrolls and Major cigarettes aren't sold outside Ireland AFAIK...I brought 200 major with me to the US and offered some round at a party one night...some round of coughing and spluttering after that...

Yeah. You can get mince anywhere in the country though usually they don't have any prepared so you get to pick the steak you want minced.

Not exactly

Last century, Mr. Bulmers made cider in the UK and Mr. Magner made cider in Ireland (clonmel). At one stage that decided to work together but years later ended up splitting. When 'Irish' Bulmers went international 10 years back they named their product Magners (after the Irish owner of the original factory) because the company that own Bulmers-Ireland don't actually own the Bulmers trademark outside of Ireland
