16 Irish snacks we need the world to know about
1. King Crisp sandwiches
Fresh white bread, butter, and a package of cripps. Perfection.
2. Spice Burger
Back in 2009 the future of the spice burger was almost in jeopardy when there was a row over the secret recipe. Thankfully, they’re still going strong, with all their meaty goodness.
3. Fifteens
A Northern Irish delicacy, these are made with 15 marshmallows, 15 digestive biscuits, 15 glacé cherries, condensed milk and coconut.
4. USA Biscuits
They sound so sophisticated and ‘out foreign’. A staple of the Irish family Christmas.
5. Afternoon Tea
If you want to go really fancy with the biscuits and have a row over the jelly star.
6. Crisps and coke
Bag of fancy pub Tayto and a glass bottle of coke preferably.
7. Fat Frogs
If we mention these apple-flavoured ice treasures enough times surely HB will have to bring them back, and then start exporting them?
8. Ballymaloe Relish
Burgers, cheese, sandwiches… they’re all in bed with this little jar of goodness.
9. Blaa
Waterford’s floury bap is made to be a vessel for sausages, ham, crisps or whatever else takes your fancy. ‘Blaa’ is even a protected term.
10. Caffrey’s Snowballs
Coconutty, marshmallowey, chocolately crack.
11. Chipsticks
Picking these out of your teeth for several hours after consuming is worth it for the salt and vinegar corn snack goodness.
12. Chicken fillet roll
The beigest of beige foods. The king of the hangover delicacies. The darling of the deli counter special offer.
13. Coddle
Boiled sausages, bacon and spuds sounds wrong, but it’s so right. So so right.
14. Superquinn sausages
The sausage outcry which ensued when it was announced that Superquinn was to be no more cements these beauties as a national treasure.
15. Purple Snacks
The best one out of Cadbury’s Snack trio, hands down. Is there any pleasure greater than nibbling the chocolate off and then devouring the biscuit?
16. Clonakilty black pudding
“Yeah so it’s beef blood mixed with oatmeal… no really, it’s delicious!”
It really is delicious, and one of our finest.
