Hi from ireland, I enjoyed watching you try out our treats. The only thing I would say is I've never heard of crisp sandwiches being served at a party in ireland. That would be a no no lol.
@@michealjones9863 Yes, I agree, Kerrygold (now way too expensive) or Kilkeely (Aldi's much cheaper version with the exact same taste and ingredients at half the price of Kerrygold)
You both are just so positive. You would settle well no matter where you would go. I have been watching your videos while recovering n hospital. I am from Ireland but you have reminded me of how beautiful my own country is. Thank you for that. I had been taking it for granted,
Really enjoying your video, I think we are fairly blessed with good snacks here in Ireland (especially Cork) Along with the TK red lemonade, you should try... "Tanora" a tangerine flavoured drink popular around Cork "Cidona" an apple flavoured drink "Lilt" a pineapple flavoured drink For crisps, Keoghs Dubliner cheddar and onion King Crisp Cheese and Onion Tayto Smokey Bacon Chocolate bars Double Decker Chomp bar Crunchie I'd better stop, before I send someone into diabetic shock Thank you so much guys for sharing your experiences *edit you should try takeaway "Fish and Chips"
@@chrisplusmelissa when I'm using crisps in a sandwich, I usually add other ingredients, Slice of ham, Dubliner cheddar and red onion with cheese and onion flavour crisps (Hunkey Dory Cheese and onion or Keoghs Dubliner Chedder and onion) Chicken goes really well with salt and vinegar Also hope you guys get to enjoy the Jazz Festival in Cork, there used to be a Fringe Jazz festival in Kinsale at the same time so really wish you guys a great time, been watching and liking your other videos
I would recommend Irish Pride Big Toast bread for the Tayto sandwiches, it's a chunkier bread that tastes just as good and goes better with the crisps (of which you used too many, in my opinion). But damn, my mouth was watering the entire time you were trying it! Glad you liked them :)
Little fun fact about the Keogh’s crisp brand…. the story goes that the Keogh potato-growing family wanted to export their spuds to the U.S.A. but apparently were precluded from doing so by some import controls Stateside. Basically, they were told they could only export processed potatoes! The family set up production of crisps/chips on the farm as a result of the impasse. The happy outcome is the foundation of a whole new business. I don’t know if they ever got around to exporting them the States, but the domestic market certainly has taken them to its heart…. we love them!
Of all the ice-creams available, pretty much the last on my list would be Brunch! The crisp sandwich is a raid the kitchen type of sandwich, not something you do for posh! Good though.
3 Euro 90, just came back in June. I met a young lady whose grandfather lived in the house next to Ross Castle. I found I was NOT a fan of Black and White Pudding. I tried, I really gave it an honest effort, trying different hotels for about 16 days. I tried round, square, in Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Tralee, Killarney, Inis, Dingle and Galway.
The Coconut Creams and Mikado are part of range of three types of "biscuit". The third part of this trilogy is Kimberley. A sugar-coated marshmallow between two soft mild ginger biscuits. They're not bad ☺️ Imagine... Someone had the audacity to smother these in chocolate! What a ridiculous idea! Who would possibly like mallow ginger biscuits covered in chocolate? 😯 I do, and many others do as well 😊
I'm a bit late to the party but there are better versions of the crisp sandwich available. I'd recommend a sharp cheddar cheese with salt & vinegar flavoured crisps. It's essential to have any crisp sandwich on sliced white bread with butter on though. It's just not the same with brown bread.
It's €uro and cent in Ireland. The singular and plural of both is €uro and cent. So you would say three euro ninety cent or three euro ninety. Those smaller bags of crisps are considered regular sized. The bigger ones would be considered sharing packs.
Club Rock Shandy is best, a mix of both orange and lemon. You can buy it premixed but many pubs make it simply by pouring together one of each of the smaller bottles.
We are very proud of our crisps,tayto crisps have a Theme park in county meath that attracts over a million visitors a year mostly irish visitors of course. The first flavoured crisp/chip was invented by an irish man called thomas spud murphy though there is some debate of whether it is true or not .
Canada changed to metric just after I graduated from high school so I can relate to the challenges you face. Temperatures and speeds are easier but weights and volume take longer. You probably noticed but Canada is confusing to both Americans and Europeans as sometimes people are talking imperial and then flip to metric measurements. Then to top it off the Canadian gallon is different than the American gallon. Throw in a currency exchange rate and surrender...but a minute is still a minute and an hour is still an hour!!!
Gordo Its actually quite similar in ireland, the road signage is in kilometers ,but if we are going somewhere we say miles, we order pint of beer not a half litre and when we say our weight we measure that in stones and pounds not kilograms.Young people probably would think entirely in metric ,but the older generation like myself still think in imperial.
@@gerardflynn3899 I am 51 and was thought only the metric system in school,but the older generation still thought in imperial and some of that not all i picked up myself
Of course crisp sandwiches are eaten in Ireland. They are a favourite. Wedding guests would add crisps to whatever sandwich is on offer. You made one mistake though. The best crisps to use are tayto original cheese and onion. No need to change perfection.
:) We did our research... those were the Tayto cheese and onion crips in our crisp sandwiches... and my mouth is watering thinking about them right now!
If you ever come back to Canada, we have some great sausage rolls. The Brunch Bar looks like the Strawberry Shortcake bars that we have in North America.
HP Sauce is a must for sausage rolls. They are eaten alone as a snack, not as part of breakfast. As far as biscuits are concerned: McVities all the way! Ginger Snaps, Ginger Nuts, Chocolate Digestives. Not Irish but sooooo delicious. Also, the ultimate chip sandwich needs a slice if ham and some Irish cheddar, too.
That was a great collection of the snacks I've been recommended to try (especially the crisps and crisp sandwich) on my coming trip. I'll have to be on the lookout for the Red TK and add that to my list. Is there anything not listed in this post that you guys tried in your travels that is a must try?
Thank you! Please read through the comments on this video. There were lots of things people suggested that we should try. Perhaps that will give you some ideas. :)
@chrisplusmelissa Thank you for the suggestion. I got another solid 8 recommendations after closely reading the comments. I'll have to go back to the start of your channel.
The crisp sandwich definitely qualifies as a SINK sandwich to be eaten only while standing over the kitchen sink because of the crisp crumbs that go everywhere after each bite. It's even better spiced up with cheese and raw slices of red union.
Hi Hi Melissa and crisps oops I mean Chris 👀 Love your videos. If you want to eat the run of the mill crisps that us Irish eat, you gotta go to the supermarket and buy King and Tayto crisps. Another popular kind is Hunky Dorys. They are ridges and yummy. Can’t believe you bagged such a beautiful apt for short term lease during our housing crisis. You’ve got the luck o the Irish now. Happy trails, if I can help in anyway, hit me up 🇮🇪🏡☘️
Keough is Key-oh, Tipper-air--ey. Why did you take the pastry off the sausage? Its flakey pastry not bread. Usually sausage rolls are handheld snacks. What is a breakfast sausage? Those small crisp packets are individual size, the bigger ones are family size
Tayto didn't invent crisps but they did innovate with flavours. They were the first to make crisps such as Cheese and Onion that were pre-seasoned. Before then crisps would be plain and the bag included small packets of seasoning (usually salt) you would need to add yourself.

Nothing beats Tayto cheese and onion crisps on buttered bread.

LOL... but maybe that would be a cool thing to do?! You could be a trend setter? Thanks for watching! Your country is delightful.
After the pub after a few is the best time for a tayto sandwich and you shouldn’t be using that spreadable crap ,get yourself some real butter .

Sausage rolls FOR THE FIRST TIME??? Oh my!!! I love this FOOD BASED video.
😂You are a lovely couple, hope you enjoyed all the lovely fare.😊Best wishes from the Wild Atlantic Way, Ireland 🇮🇪
Hi! Thank you for the kind words. :) We loved our stay in Ireland.
Really enjoying your video, I think we are fairly blessed with good snacks here in Ireland (especially Cork)
Along with the TK red lemonade, you should try...
"Tanora" a tangerine flavoured drink popular around Cork
"Cidona" an apple flavoured drink
"Lilt" a pineapple flavoured drink
For crisps,
Keoghs Dubliner cheddar and onion
King Crisp Cheese and Onion
Tayto Smokey Bacon
Chocolate bars
Double Decker
Chomp bar
Crunchie
I'd better stop, before I send someone into diabetic shock
Thank you so much guys for sharing your experiences
*edit you should try takeaway "Fish and Chips"
Thank you! The crisps are amazing here. Not sure what it is.
@@chrisplusmelissa when I'm using crisps in a sandwich, I usually add other ingredients,
Slice of ham, Dubliner cheddar and red onion with cheese and onion flavour crisps (Hunkey Dory Cheese and onion or Keoghs Dubliner Chedder and onion)
Chicken goes really well with salt and vinegar
Also hope you guys get to enjoy the Jazz Festival in Cork, there used to be a Fringe Jazz festival in Kinsale at the same time so really wish you guys a great time, been watching and liking your other videos
We were told to NOT get fancy and just go with the basics. :D
Crisp sandwiches on the beach, wind blowing, sand in the sandwiches. Memories....😍😍😍
😂
remember the wind breakers

You need Irish cheddar cheese on those crisp sandwiches 😂
Defo!

ah lads...try the chocolate Kimberley....
The irish cream fudge is probably a brand you will only find in tourist gift shops,but they are brands of it sold ,just not really that brand
You guys are fantastic love the videos great stuff
Thanks so much. :)
Cookies?
BISCUITS! 😊
Oooops.... old habits are hard to break. :D
No excuses! 🤨 ☺️
Those strawberry shortcake ice cream pops are MY TOP TIER FAVE. Thumbs UP and BUMP!!!
Love the video guys. We love sausage rolls but served usually with a small dip of Ballymaloe relish…pronounced Bally Ma Loo 😊
I only tried Ballymaloe for the first time this time in Ireland Delish... I could see dipping a sausage roll in it for sure!! Thanks
LIke the videos. Lovely couple. Been at a few weddings recently where plates of crisp sandwiches were served before "bedtime". Keep up the good work.
Thank you Tommy. Means a lot to us.
Starbar . My favourite

Yay! Thank you!
In cork all crisps or chips. Most of us call a bag of taytos. Starbar my favourite. Can't beat a Kimberly Machado biscuits. Not all cookies 😋
Sooo much fun to watch you uhmming and aahhing through this video! Thanks for that.
Those pink marshmallow cookies remind me of a specific variety of Mexican cookies or snowballs!
Arcoiris, yes, they are very similar.

Brunch👍 Tayto sandwich must have real butter, not that knock off spreadable stuff, but👍anyway.
Kerry Gold butter.

The tracks you use in the background reminds me of the music in the old 60s Charlie Brown TV specials. I dig it.
I LOVED the Charlie Brown TV specials.
It's €uro and cent in Ireland. The singular and plural of both is €uro and cent.
So you would say three euro ninety cent or three euro ninety.

...would be called American single portion size!
Hi. So glad I came across your channel. How did you find your place?

You got to try our club orange I mean DO NOW hehe
I've had the Club lemon!
@@chrisplusmelissa that's nice too but the orange it really is something else ....

Has to be Tayto cheese and onion for crisp sandwich

@@chrisplusmelissa tbh I think it is an old wives tale, but it is a thing you hear people say often.
The red colouring originally used by TK was banned. Not sure of any of the other ingredients were banned or changed.
Crisps or what you call 'Potato Chips' were actually invented in Ireland by 'TAYTO'.

That's not proper butter you're using on the crisp sandwich and you should have cheddar cheese with the crisps as part of the sandwich.
You don't use a knife and fork to eat sausage rolls lol that would be like using a knife and fork on a hotdog.
We are new to sausage rolls! :D
Crisp sandwiches were made for children as were ban’sna sandwiches
Annoying music otherwise interesting
No no no I am Irish
you should have gone to cladagreen centra also you should not cut a sausage roll like that you look to posh
Keoghs chips are better
