Snacks From Abroad You Wish Were in Ireland

It is the absolute best thing, you'll get it in Switzerland, Germany (generally in the health food section of a shop, somehow the healthy malt negates the chocolate in it) & Austria

Excellent! Thanks MissFlitworth! I have family in Austria so I'll ask them to add it to my confectionary shopping list!

Lays salted crisp

Bittenballen from Holland.

Amalgam

Two I'm sort of happy that they aren't readily available.. My teeth are still my own (boiled sweets) and my blood pressure is somewhat normal.. (crisps)

Napoleon Lempur (tart/sour powder center)



I'm partial to the Cola too.. just.. fiendishly addictive. Very inexpensive to buy in their country of origin. (Netherlands)

Seabrook Sea Salted crisps



Stocked by Tesco for years, I would eat these compulsively. A six pack was *not* for sharing. Dropped from their supply chain very suddenly. Taste great, close to some European 'undressed' varieties, where the strongest flavour is the crisp itself.. and the oil the crisp has been cooked in. Oh, and salt, in this case. *cough* [thirsty sip of water]

Salmiak liquorice

Mr. Simms sell a few different salt liquorice.
If your local one doesn't have them, they can get them.

Double salt and triple salt are the best of the bunch.

Sakata rice crackers. I loved these so much. They were a lovely low fat snack to have with a beer. I can't find anything like them here.

Just to see what all the fuss is about.

I assure you you would regret that.

I know two people have replied but...

I had never heard of it before trying it. Lonely Planet put it best with:

Looks like s**t
Smells like s**t
Tastes like s**t

Literally the most disgusting fruit I've ever eaten. The texture, taste and smell all combine and it's just awful! Full of protein apparently!

Dunno what the big fuss is with Tim Tams, the caramel ones are lovely but I won't miss them when I can't get em. King crisps and Mighty Munch though, what I'd give!

MissFlitworth

You can definitely, unfortunately, get Durian fruit in Ireland. At least in Dublin you can, have regularly had to pinch my nose going into Asia Market on Drury Street because it's a warm day and there's a serious waft coming off a box of Durian. Spotted it on Moore St too, luckily the smell of a box of fish heads nearby covered it up

Stench Blossoms

Top Deck.

Mr. CooL ICE

A big packet of pretzel M&Ms lasted approx 2 hours in out office after a colleague returned from the states.


I need my sister to move abroad soon. When she returned home after living in Italy in the 90s, she gave me loads of Lindt 70%. Next week, I saw them in tesco for the first time ever. Same with when she moved back from Australia and brought Tim Tams. They were everywhere (for about 6 months ).

Turtles - Chocolate, caramel, pecans. Absolute heaven!

Should I perhaps not tell you guys about the limited edition Red Velvet flavour TimTams?

You can get these in a little supermarket near the bord gais energy theatre... think it's called 'fresh'

Thargor

Aldi were doing "Poppets" in mint and toffee for a while and they were very similar to milk duds (from the vague memory I have of a pack an American friend gave to myself and my brother years ago), I always have to have a pack of them in the cinema with me, havent seen them for a while though, hope they're not discontinued...
