Help me make a list - Irish made products

conorcan2

I'm creating a list of Irish-made products. Does anybody have any input? I've had a look at guaranteedirish.ie but can't find any lists.

Potatoes.

trad

Viagra

Cookie_Monster

in general or in any particular category?
A general list is probably to long and detailed for anyone to bother on such a site

Don't be silly, there're no potatoes in Ireland.

A short list of products you might find in the supermarket, to start (!). I thought about Lyon's tea and Guinness myself, but can't be sure if they are Irish. I think Guinness is owned by Diageo.

I'll be happy to get 10.:)

Guinness is owned by Diageo but the black stuff is manufactured in Dublin and dublin alone. Other countries produce it but the concentrate all comes from Jame's Gate.

Turf, peat briqquettes, many (most) of the dairy products you see on the shelves. Look for beef and lamb with the Bord Bia symbol. Ignore the bord bia symbol on chickens. They are mostly puke imported stuff, from Thailand via Netherlands where they are injected with water and stuff, then landed on our shelves.
Whiskey with "e" before the y at the end.
Lots of different agriculture machinery (not tractors), machines powered by or mounted on trators. Irish manufacturers in this sphere, are amongst the best in the world. McHales, Keenans, Malones, Cashels, NC, Redrock, etc, etc,.

Charleville cheese has a UK stamp on it.

I think it's packed in Coleraine.

It may actually be made in RoI, but it has a UK, probably because it's packed in NI.

Love Irish Food pretty much covers it from food. Not sure where you would find other products/unbranded food.

really nice butter, more expensive but really tastes better than the others.

Oddly enough, charleville block cheddar is not made in charleville at all but at some smaller plant up the north. The big plant produces mostly cheese and milk powders which is where the big money is for the company.

Oh I see you're speaking from experience?
You go to the matches and know they play bad football?
Or maybe , like all Irish product, if we bought their products they would get better and produce a greater product. Wasn't that the point of this thread? :mad:

On a similar note, I've started to take notice of my grocery receipt now where it shows how much of your spend was on Irish produce, it's incredible how much stuff you assume (me anyway) is Irish is actually not at all. People really do need to start paying attention and keeping money here in the country instead of paying some Asian country slaves workers a pittance.

Compared to supermarket butter it is at the top. But Cuinneog is nicer again.

Kerrygold is not as highly regarded as the best butters from France, etc. So, while one of the best here, it's not that incredible by international standards.

we have European competitions that they are involved in that gives us a gauge against other European teams, can't remember the last time they got anywhere in them, can you?

I do like this site though - not for the cheap cheesy feel of instant Irishness on offer - more for the marketing - I have many American relations that I can see loving it

Irish peat has also become a staple in the pubs, restaurants and hotels of Ireland, burning throughout the day and night while the Guinness, stories and music flow. In places like Gus O'Connor's Pub in Doolin, visitors have been enjoying their draught while drying their soggy shoes by the peat filled hearth since 1832.
