200 bags of Tayto, 1,000 Lyons green label

OU812

Visiting a buddy in the states shortly. He’s Irish & the number one thing he misses from home is tayto, so I got him 200 in different varieties (100 C&E, the rest mixed).

I’ve also got him some cream crackers & Lyons tea & Jaffa cakes.

He’s not really into sweet stuff.

What else would you Irish living over there recommend bringing over?

He knows none of this so hopefully none of you are him ðŸ˜

Barry's tea and dairy gold butter is a must

Stuff from Penneys.

I have a daughter living in Asia. She was home a few weeks ago, and all she wanted to do was pick up some stuff from Penneys. While we were in one particular shop we met two other mothers shopping for their adult children living abroad (USA and Canada). Both of them were saying that they had to regularly send out Penneys tshirts and other stuff.

He can buy the Tayto online & have it delivered to his door in the US.

Heinz ketchup is American!

When I lived in USA the two main things I had shipped were Barry's Gold label tea and YR Brown sauce.

Barry's is the better tea but giving it to someone who is a Lyons drinker won't get a good reaction.
If he's originally a west brit he will want the tea from the UK company (Unilever owns Lyons)

McDonnells curry sauce.

A bale of peat briquettes.

Sounds like he isn't from Cork (Lyons Tea) but in case he is.... a bottle of Tanora. Otherwise, a bottle of TK red lemonade.

We send my sister and her kids hula-hoops, cadbury tiffin and YR sauce. That's all they ever want.

We were always asked to bring brown sauce, sausages, rashers and pudding, brown bread and Cadbury's chocolate to the aunts and uncles in NY. YR sauce is still a favourite I don't think you can bring the sausages, rashers and pudding any more though, can you?

Not getting into the Lyons vs Barrys thing but for jayzis sake man it needs to be Gold blend either way :eek:

It's 2019, he can get all that's stuff online of he's really missing it

That's a lot of crisps! Friends brought us over loads last year and we didn't eat them all before they went out of date and stale so it was kind of a waste. A couple of 12 packs would have been grand lol.

What I really want is superquinn sausages but they can't be brought over unfortunately

BailMeOut

Aren't Tayto disgusting though? When abroad it's just that you cannot get "cheese and onion" flavour anywhere so you get nostalgic about them so why not send some proper crisps like Keoghs or O'Donnell's cheese and onion instead?

You've some cheek to suggest Barry's tea to a Lyons Man!
I'm not surprised you didn't cop this, you being a Barry's drinker.

Pretty much everything can be got on Amazon. Tea, sweets, beans etc
Irish butter is widely available too. There's very little you can't just order online anymore.

If it was me I'd want Keoghs or O'Donnells crisps, I can get them on Amazon, but they are not cheap.

Interestingly enough, most of the stuff I get from Amazon comes via a place in Tipperary.

Yes from Thurles, it's a company that specialises in garden equipment...

I guess they already have the shipping contract and decided to branch out.

I know it actually comes in a box when you order online to America!

Disappointing that it's currently sold out.

Wouldn't chance it now for rashers and sausages. Apparently a big fine if you are caught

Bacon products are available in the USA.
If you're going to take such risks you need to import blackcurrant.
