    Homemade Irish soda bread is good, I make my own any time I can get hold of some buttermilk.

    Thanks for all the extra help :)
  • It might be worth checking out some local shops as well.
    My dad always gets his irish papers in a newsagents and
    brings be back some taytos, club orange, emeralds and some golden crisp
    chocolate, even though its still cadburys, it tastes better :D
    But my local asda and morrisons sells barrys tea - my parents won't drink
    anything else, club drinks, red lemonade, cidona, scone and bread mix,
    soup, chef sauce (red and brown) and kimberly biscuits.
    I love the marshmellow and jam ones...yum!

    While you're all thinking about Kimberly's... does anyone know where you can get chocolate ones? I'm a sucker for em.


    My 6 year old son goes MAD for these!!!
    My MIL is Irish but lives in England, she pops over to visit family about once a month and brings loads back, all individually wrapped. He loves them. She comes home with a case full of food!
    I'm not so keen on them myself but I do like a nice bit of white pud from superquinn xx

  • Home Bargains often do the NI Tayto Cheese and Onion crisps :D

    Sainsburys do the potato bread, soda farls, wheaten bread and a new NI bakery make called Genesis http://www.genesisbreads.com/

    Farm foods used to do a 'plain' mothers pride loaf (admittedly Scottish)- it could be worth checking if they still do.

    Oh thanks for this thread!
    I am an Irish gal and never thought about online stockists before.

    Oh also QualitySaver sell Taytos crisps too (not sure if all of them ,but I have seen a couple of stores here in Manchester do).

    I am actually in Manchester and hadn't realised there was a heritage centre in Cheetham Hill, so thanks for that irish_eyes_r_smiling :)
