Them: “Why?”

You: “BECAUSE.”

3. The sheer perfection of a hungover breakfast roll

*confused face*

“They just look like regular sausages”

10. They would definitely be perplexed by this “blaa” not being the same as a bread roll

11. And the recent phenomenon that is a spice bag

Finally got to sample this bad boy! #Spicebag recommended by my Thurles friends... It's delicious!! 😊

12. Just get them to try and guess what boxty is

13. Or how the Irish nation has honed and perfected the 3-in-1

14. There’s a good chance they haven’t sampled the experience that is a lukewarm sausage roll of a Tuesday morning

15. And it’s only here that a chipper would have the audacity to make up a custom taco fries pizza

16. They might have heard of a crisp sandwich – but when you tell them about a Tayto version, they just won’t understand

Perfection.
