Irish food deliverable to the UK?

Hi

I'm looking for an online stockist of Irish foods such as Kimberley biscuits, Taytos, Barry's Tea etc - all I can find is a place called youririshshop.com which is great but has a mininum order of £30 - more than I'd like to spend.

Any ideas? It's for a Christmas hamper for my parents.

Thanks :)

    My local ASDA has a small Irish section of food next to the Polish section! Not a big selection but might be worth a look.

    Brilliant - thanks! Just found a few bits on Asda online so I'll definitely pop down to my local one and have a look at the weekend.

    My local budgens store sells Taytos & kimberly biscuit as well as chef sauce, galtee chees and white/black pudding.
    Also morrisons often have an irish section - we can get club orange, cidona, barry's tea and other assorted stuff there.

    As someone mentioend earlier, I know Tesco's somethimes sells Irish brands such as Galtee (though I've never seen the cheese there)
    As for the Taytos, there are TWO companies using the name; one Northern Ireland company that does a lot of the corn snack type of things (I think they do the Simpsons snacks), the other from the Republic to whose Cheese & Onion crisps I am addicted, but I've never seen them over here. That said, apparently they are sold under the brand name Kings, so if you see them somewhere, they should be the same thing!

    I don't know where you are lillian, but Dunnes have branches in the UK - it might be worth checking to see if they will deliver!
    Au Res.,
    Paul (who has helpful parents who bring stuff over from time to time!)
