I think mine would be good quality pork sausages. When I was away for 18 months good sossies with homemade brown soda bread and *slices* of Kerrigold were what I missed most, and insisted on being my first meal off the plane. Agreed on King vs Tayto Peter, give me King any day.
Rebecca, if you’re in Stillorgan by any chance, I declare this to be empirical fact: the organic pork sausages in Fenelon’s butchers are the best in the world. I’m still reeling from the wonderful flavours.
We used to go to specially to Fenlon’s as kids to get packets of 24 burgers – they had a really big freezer section too where the body shop is now I think – who knows what was in them but we survived – glad to hear they’re still in business – will try out their sausages for sure.
For me, I love Calvita, I know it’s processed to bits, but Calvita and apple is a most unusually enjoyable flavour!
I’m not Irish but find there are many great Irish foods worth knowing and missing when away. Brown bread and brown scones, Irish butter so creamy and rich, Irish milk (I was raised on UHT milk and find it vile now), Burren smoked salmon, Glenisk yogurt. Skelligs chocolates, Aíne chocolates, Butlers chocolates, Lily O’Brien chocolates. May be it’s time to gon on a chocolate detox before Easter…
‘Proper’ butter and Cadbury’s chocolate are the two things I always miss most when I’m away. that said, as soon as I’m off the plane my first stop is always the mammy’s house for a good fry up with Superquinn sausages!
