Quintessential Cork gift I could give to my housemates back in Dublin?

I can't think of any. There is the My Cork gift shop but I find them mostly to be actually just general Irish souvenir stuff. I can't gift them Cork hoodies from there because they could get mobbed wearing non-Dublin logo.

Barry's tea bags.

Can of Murphys, Beamish or any other knockoff Guinness ye make there...

It'll go down a bomb...

That's ridiculous. Dublin is the most mixed part of Ireland. Like Cork city, people walk around with every hoody/jersey/sports top available. Everything from Munster Rugby, English jerseys to every single GAA county jersey are proudly on display in the city every day without an ounce of hassle.

I see those Peoples Republic of Cork jerseys around, they're cool. Or a food hamper, Cork's food culture is legendary. Pudding, Beer, Beef skirt and seafood maybe?

They wouldn’t get beaten up for it but if they’re Dublin GAA or LOI fans I’d say they wouldn’t be caught dead in a Cork top. I know I wouldn’t. No offence to OP or any other Cork posters.

Agree on the last bit though. Can’t go wrong with a bit of Clonakilty pudding.

Generally speaking Guinness drinkers will stick to Guinness over Murphy’s.

A piece of spiced beef.

Cans of murphys, a real tastey stout.

A Jason O'Gorman print, you can get some of his stuff in the Marina Market I think

Padre_Pio · 25-12-2023 7:11pm

Bottle of Tanora, you can get it in SuperValu in Cork.

There's that black pudding that comes in cake form

Spiced beef or a copy of the Holly Bough?

Tickets to a John Spillane gig for the girls, or a massage from Donal Og Cusack for the lads.

Really, don't foist that on anyone!

Much as I'm into food and traditions, drisheen is one of the foulest things I've ever tasted! I don't know what they do to make what is basically a blood sausage taste so bad!

But, on the other hand, it is pure Cork!
