Irish People Try Pacific Northwest Snacks 

Salmon be the best fish out there.

That and geoduck. Now, that would be a fun video. Have them eat geoduck, then show them an unprepared geoduck.

No lie there.

Fsilone my thoughts exactly.

$11 for coffee?

And it wasn't even Theo's 😣 That's the best kind!

A bar of chocolate with sunflower seeds in it and a recycled paper wrapper. Exquisite stuff. Shame about all the bloom on it though. ...but nobody out here buys that stuff, so I guess it sits on shelves for years and years until tourists pick it up.

Yes, K lane! It should’ve been Theo or Moonstruck. Although Euphoria chocolate...

They're also super popular as chrisitmas time gifts.

Aplets & Cotlets? Aplets & Cotlets you say? Now that is a name I've not heard in a long time... a long time. - O-PNW-an Kenobi Agreed. They busted those out and I was like, I have not seen those since my Grandma bought some for us for Christmas back in 1982. Even though I live in the Seattle area I had no idea they were still in production.

I like them but only when my aunt has them for the holidays.

my grandma buys them as chrismas presents and they go hard

Same lol.

Also an Oregonian, but I must be too poor to shop in the places that sell this stuff. lol I was really hoping for more filbert/hazelnut stuff or maybe Tillamook products. Now those are a true show of PNW snacks.

@@forgotn42 Washingtonian for 20 years, Oregonian the last 3. I 100% agree with you.

Oregonian sounds like some kind of reptilian species from another universe. It’s neat!

@@rollastoney we basically are

Neil McCrea never seen any of this items think I’m in wrong area in Washington

@@72596oscar aplets and cotlets are made in Cashmere Washington which is between Leavenworth and Wenatchee.

@@72596oscar Dry side of the mountains?

It's so telling that we Washington natives count our generations like that. People from Ireland must be rolling their eyes so hard they break off inside their head. I think of myself as a Washington "native" too... and I moved here when I was 12. My kids get to claim honest native-born status though. Washington is a place that welcomes newbies into it's slightly soggy embrace, and makes them family, like we've lived here forever.

Diane Thoroughman yea I’m like 2 hours away from their I’m in the dessert side of the state

Michael Gulick I loved when she said that.

She's declared that standard in the past, as well.

Same in Oregon lol, the PNW is probably the most beautiful place in the United States in my biased opinion.

@@kaleoarnold3709 Always thought I’d enjoy living there. Now all the fires have made me more reluctant.

@@cmw12 Eh, it happens, you get used to them.

They'd absolutely have to do multiple videos for each area. There are soooo many beers.

@@laurajohnson8467 and wine, and probably other alcoholic beverages

They need to do a Portland microbrew tour... Just saying... When COVID is over, they need to visit Portland and go around to all the breweries for like a month and sample all the micro-brews (both beers and ciders!)... McMenamins, anyone?

Block 15 !

Poe-tay-toe

Something tells me that marketing department ain't gonna be putting that on the box.

Smoked salmon is the best. Glad you liked it.

You are one of the best things I have ever seen on Try!!! You are dyn-o-mite!

We take pride in our smoked salmon. Also smoked venison and oysters!

We Love you Elga, you are always a Delight!

Try it on a bagel with some cream cheese and capers😋

and savannah is in the diametical opposite side of the country in the southeast, on the atlantic coast.

If you do you have to tell Clisare where Savannah is...

@@sammybubba176 I prefer Savannah **is teleported to Savannah, GA** No, the REAL Savannah **is teleported to an arid plain in Africa** Perfection.

@@SirLyonhart In fairness I don't think i could tell what county a random Irish city is in. Like I have no clue what county Cork is in :)

@@ArthurRoy13 Munster, step outside the box.

A...may...zing!! And they should've had a CHERRY Mountain bar.

I love them too

Applets and cotlets and almond roca

I was happy they gave attention to the NW, however, the only good thing they got was the salmon, no offense. I also don't feel like the Turkish delight screams Washington

@@thebookreader6934 The creators of Applets and Cotlets were Yugoslavian immigrants, and Applets and Cotlets were a take on a Yugoslavian candy.

Tru dat. Beautiful place to live!

I think a lot of people forget, there is also an Eastern Washington.

@@alexdyngo5244 You know what? I live in Western Washington, and I tend to forget it myself.

@@Marialla. It's usually best to, anyway. lol

Haha! I live there and I forget it exists too.

Almond Roca is a NW product?!

@@Amaranthyne Yes, Brown and Haley is based out of Tacoma WA.

@@Amaranthyne That Mountain Bar they tried is made by Brown and Haley as well.

They've tried those things in other vids I believe.

I guess it was just one of those products I though was ubiquitous...

Truly a West Coast slogan. I will buy 5.

The PNW: Hold my gluten-free, free-range, organic, vegan, small-batch, triple filtered, fair trade, locally sourced double IPA.

I’ll take one in an xl please.

Nah, I let it go because he's Irish. He has an excuse. Now if someone from the US says it that way THEN I'm going to say something.

I will excuse them because they live on a different continent, but when I hear people from America pronounce it that way, that's when it hurts me deep inside. I'm from Washington but I take offense for my Oregon brethren.

I groaned and I'm from Washington.

Another Washington groaner here. I dreaded the "WARSH-ing-ton" pronunciation, but was thankfully spared.

Mary in fairness I’ve never heard anyone else use that pronunciation heee

Fheed Pexx yup, it’s the cocoa butter separating out! It got too warm in transit or storage.

Fat bloom just means old or got warm

Not specifically that chocolate. That chocolate has salted nuts in it, so the salt causes the blooming, even with the correct storage. Spiced chocolate also blooms easily as well, I don't know if it's the spices blooming or the spices acting as nucleation sites, but yeah, it's a thing. Doesn't effect the taste either way.

Last time I accidently ate a chocolate decoloured in such a way, It happened to be a 7 years over date old chocolate bar. It really made me angery. Only thing I can think of tasting worse is lumpy milk gone real bad. That taste of 'blue'. -Be very careful eating candy given to You by elderly people. -Just saying. It might be very much older than You think.

@@Ulvetann the candy or the elderly people? Both if them _can_ be much older than you think. /s

Also moved away from Washington (Wenatchee, specifically) and I too am missing the snacks of the Pacific Northwest. Namely maple bar donuts! 😡😭 At least I managed to convince my Maryland spouse and father in law to try out Aplets and Cotlets... (Soon I will infect the whole of Maryland with the desire for Aplets and Cotlets! 😈)

@@MithalanMithrarin Yes! I love aplets and cotlets. I moved to Ohio and had some of my SIL’s family try them. I guess it’s an acquired taste/texture lol I love them. They are my dad’s favorite. I lived in the Seattle area/west Seattle/issaquah/north bend. I really miss the views and diverse culture. It’s pretty bland here.

♥ ♥ Loved this one! 🙌🏻

Your t-shirt is the best thing ever! 😂

Is one able to buy the Brian shirt?

😂

Love watching you, dude, you're always fun. I hope you make more vids on your recently hijacked channel.

was shocked to not see those. Lived in Washington like my entire life and love them

Jalapeno ones are the best.

They used to be pretty good but the last bag of Tim's classic chips I bought were utterly tasteless. Kettle's salt and pepper crinkle cut still the best.

@@silentqueue2344 I can't even remember the last time I had the plain, so can't say. But SOOO many of the MANY flavors are still amazing

Jalapeno and the garlic parmesan are my faves

Mostly coffee, but when I drink tea, it’s usually locally sourced-maybe even as local as my backyard-and loose leaf. I have definitely never seen this brand.

@ShariSez1 Same, Washington-born, never been able to get over my intense dislike of any and every kind of coffee.

I see more people with hot chocolate or tea than coffee. We do however have a ton of coffee places. You want a coffee state go to the Midwest like Iowa. That state uses coffee in everything.....and ketchup.....and butter XD.

squirrelbuddi Having a lot of coffee places requires a lot of coffee drinkers to support them. The NW is the origin of the worldwide coffee phenomenon known as Starbucks. Even in a general sense of the US there are more coffee drinkers than tea drinkers because of our history.

Why weren't they given Stumptown coffee?????

And south. Way south.

Yeah it’s a bit Far East now isn’t it

I cannot believe OR beat out WA for namesake! INSULTED!

Tim T.K quite

Yes, after moving to Portland, OR, I realized that everyone up here is exactly like that! They all care a bunch about physical fitness, being with nature, vintage everything and drinking small-batch local IPA's out of an antique steel cup that originated from an old prospector's mine that was dug during the California gold rush but had it's handle broken during a cave-in so they got a piece of old-growth douglas fir that was felled by a lightning strike back in the famous 1943 lightning storm to repair it and the unique story behind the cup instills additional character to the ales that are consumed from it. They're especially excited about that last bit...

@@josephhicklin7313 Needs more heroin

@G Robinson sounds like you need a good wacking off

Yes, from Oregon all the way up to British Columbia, we are all about the hikes.

I can't believe they went with the Peanut Butter Mountain Bars

I have to say, I'm not really a fan of the stuff . . .

They have another video that's devoted to trying different flavors of that stuff. :)

Yes could have added that one too. Mt Bars and Almond Roca both made in Tacoma.

Right? But I will take the fact that they had Chukar Cherries.

I think it's more of a holidays thing, than anything. Like I never see them around any other time of year. But can ALWAYS find them in the holiday sweets aisle... Love the berry ones. They're more of a "special treat" or "gift-y" thing.

I didn’t know they were a northwest thing. Definitely a grandparent holiday candy

Spoken like a true home boy!

I'm a woman.

@@joellabrooks8759 My bad! Home girl!

Sounds lovely!

I have lived on the Olympic peninsula and have dug clams, picked oysters and feasted on geoducks. Notice I didn't claim to dig geoducks. That's too damn hard! I'll let my younger nephews do that.

Even my dog's ass has green something growing on it. It's rampant up here

@@cathedralvoid1962 ROTFLMAO!

I had an Arizona transplant friend who described the entire area as "obscenely green."

Even the heroin is green

Ya it's unsettling. And wet.

Made me laugh.

@DAVE ADAM He was joking, relax

Lol they don't know any better...😄

lol

@DAVE ADAM It's funny because it's effectively true. The majority of the state of Washington is VERY different from Seattle. And let's not pretend that many Europeans would pass on an opportunity to jump down an American's throat over the slightest geographic gaff.

Darrell Curry Yes to the Jones Soda!

Ooh, Jones sodas would be a great Try.

I was introduced to Tim's Salt and Vinegar chips out here in Hawaii and they were hands down the best I've ever had. Broke da mouth good! TRY channel needs those chips and Jones' lemon drop soda. You could eat fire after that!

Tim's is soooo good! The jalapeno variety is my personal jam.

Yes or yass! I agree hands down.

Not the Mountain Bars. Or at least, they're not exclusively airport food.

she's not wrong though. The only worse tea I've had is stuff by Stash - lawn clippings spritzed with perfume.

Last fall when I was routed thru SeaTac I was amazed/disappointed in the amount of twig and berry shops that have replaced most airport restaurants.

@@magetsalive5162 They also have almost nothing to do with the PNW except being manufactured there. Peanuts are grown in the Southeast almost exclusively.

@@nunliski applets and cotlets have been around for awhile, I remember visiting them back in the 70's. They are very much a part of the local scene and history in North Central Washington.

WITCH!

Ummmmm, wrong Salem

Hey, neighbor! I'm also from Salem.

@Teresa J.S. Hey! Hello from West Salem to be specific. Isn’t Salem the best? Not West though, not with the bridge.

Heyo from Ashland.

hiddenheart 🤢

Jaysus, he was annoying.

Darn it! Why did you have to remind me LOL I had forgotten he said that. Why did I have to see that comment before making my comment about finding my new dream guy.@sean.mangan gorgeous but the foot scraping ehhh. Well, it is not necessarily a bad thing to be up on foot care but I will think of that every video I see from now on with him in it LOL Oh well! Tá mé go maith. Tá tú go hálainn, a Sheán. Logh mé duit.

@@ourkeving You're annoying.

@Tim Evans tell me how you really feel 🤔😂

@AKsleepygirl It was finally revealed at the end... genius

And that face he's making it's like he knew the video they showed it off in was going to have peanut butter in it

I was trying to clean my screen because of you lol

I want that shirt

I am Brian's biggest fan!

LOL "Look at me. Stick that up my hole." Really Clisare and then you laughed at your own joke. This channel is dumb in a very good way. I always laugh at your commentary.

Clisare i give it a 1/10 cause I'd eat it rather then die..... lol love love love it. I wanna send snacks from nyc... what can I send?

You look hungover

Great Savannah Bananas hoodie!!! My fav minor league team.

@@druidpeakhandling I just learned about banana ball recently. sounds cool.

Theo's also!

oh god... isn't that the pop-rock chocolates, those are the worst

Yes, that's what I was thinking! That chocolate is so good!

Moonstruck Chocolates are so awesome, they made it into the swag-bags at the Oscars one year.

Harry & Davids chocolates

Hell yeah!

From Seattle Starbucks is the devil, bastards are on every corner...yeah everyone except me loves it tho.

@@bigdaddy4432 Don't worry, I don't like it either, to bloody sweet

That you are basically in the right place. Congratulations, you are complete.

it means you should date a Irish person

@@OneManRevolution223 I'll get right on that.

I think they mean a bumbershoot

No Temperate Rain Forest in Washington.

It's that weird thing that tourists and the weak, hold over their heads during our watering time.

Musicbookoholic that’s what I’m saying 😂 no one that lives here actually uses an umbrella

We have a saying in oregon. "You can tell the natives from the tourists based on who uses an umbrella" lol

Team MC for sure. the jury's still out about the new guy

Richard, he just teabagged your Woman! Put those guns to use !

@@williamdixon595 Hahaha

Oh wow cider is one of my all time favorites! I would travel far and wide to attend ciderfest. :) 🥰

Man they should have had some Oregon wines, but this was a snack episode so hopefully they try dinks son

Ryan Spark1033 right on brother

Pot Heads.

Had a great tasting peanut butter cup just the other night🙌🏻

But the "best snacks" are baked in my oven.

@@ashleynorton9718 Nibbling on one of those as I'm typing.

Katherine Stewart that comment literally made me laugh out loud. 😂 (Savannah local here! ❤️)

🤣

We do not get your regions at all. But we know your states. Rome is eternal city. It is basic culture to know were it is. You exist 200 years. Why are you important?

@@2dimitropolis370 I mean, no need to be an ass. He was more referring to distance, but was off: Seattle to Savannah is nearly DOUBLE the distance of Dublin to Rome. Your countries tend to be the size of, or smaller than, our states, and yet most of is know both fairly well. Besides that, there were full on cities in America 1000 years before Europeans even arrived, which even that is going on 600 years ago now, btw, and even THAT is ignoring the Vikings. Or are you just referring to the American government? It's the oldest continuous, unchanging government on the planet, so that makes no sense, either. Funny to see you be an ass about our history when you have no knowledge of it that doesn't relate to your country.

@@andygilmore8511 Are you a Georgia native or something? I'm from Florida and I clearly understand where the comment was coming from. There's no reason someone on the other side of the world should know where Savannah is. There is NO comparison between that, and someone not knowing where Rome is. The tone of the comment you responded to is no more condescending than that of the comment that started the thread.

You must live in the Dalles, or eastern Oregon, cause over here it's all heroin

@@gavinrock6 nope Astoria / Warrenton is full of Meth

Southern Oregon is a huge meth area

Heroin along I-5 meth everywhere else

Meth here in tillamook we are too broke for coke

Seattle has on average 152 days that rain a year. Thus use chocolate as your umbrella.

MC!!!💞💟💓😄🤗💜🐶👍🐧🦄🐼💛💚💙💋 Lol was trying to find more clips of the Ace my Space episodes

Hello MC.

You all were great in this one MC :)

They haven't heard of the PCT I'm gonna assume

OMG, get over yourself. There are thousands of amazing areas to hike and enjoy other great outdoor activities. You haven't exactly cornered the market on it.

@@helenholt1161 Really, there are OTHER places in the world? I thought outside the borders of Oregon and Washington it was just a hellscape... 😱 Maybe you live in a nice place to hike. Congrats? Watch a video about Irish people eating snacks from there. And calm down, don't get your panties in a twist just because people acknowledge PNW is beautiful.

Helen Holt acknowledging the beauty of the PNW doesn’t mean we think other places or ugly or that there’s no good hiking elsewhere. Why are you so defensive over this?

@@helenholt1161 Well this may change your opinion? If you were to land at Seatac Airport (Seattle, WA, USA) within 150 miles (241K); so 1 day to span the circle in all directions and at any time of year - you may Hike, Ride, Kayak, Soar, Canoe, Swim, Dive, Climb, and Ski (all types) or otherwise enjoy in no particular order: Visit a mid sized desert, one of the snowiest places on earth and travel through an actual Rain Forest. Think on this a bit - in one leisurely day within 100 miles of each other you can go from the snowiest, to one of the driest, and then to one of the wettest places on earth... That snowiest place? Is also one of the prettiest - you've all seen it without knowing it as it is one of the most photographed/painted mountains on earth. They will jumble Mt Baker (picturesque) with her child Mt Shuksan (portraiture) but In this reference lets call them as one and the same as they live right next to each other and you cant see Shuksan unless fairly close - you know mountains and such get in the way... any movie they claim to be Seattle (most movies really) but was really filmed in Vancouver, BC region, well that's Mt Baker you see in the distance. Visitors to Seattle within this 150 miles may see 1000+ year old untouched forests, climb on Glaciers & over Crevasse's, rock climb 2000ft (600M) cliffs, view forest waterfalls, ride raging rapids or thru massive river gorges, enter deep into one of the largest concrete structures on earth, visit one of the largest free-span buildings where 747's were made, explore a full fledged wilderness - meaning to get lost you might never be seen again, or scuba a very deep, very big and cold Ocean, walk soft sandy beaches and navigate very deadly currents amongst sholes that have claimed hundreds of ships and lives. See up close whales, otters, octopi and starfish or explore sheltered coves among over 150 tiny and some very large islands, climb into active volcanoes, walk alpine meadows or bogs full of bears, moose, caribou, elk and beavers (Bigfoot too - i am a believer)! See ancient lava flows, visit a nuclear submarine, army, air force, naval, and abandoned (or are they all?) missile bases, along with countless other things to hike and climb upon - kinda unique to the rest of the world, truly. It is an outdoorsy mecca for those inclined. Not to mention that much of the above is also within 150 miles (pushing it a bit) of all the same in British Colombia, Canada - though their mountains are just babies. Its also a fairly cultural place with world class art, food & wine, and a few billionaires. But you had better bring rain gear, even in July. Counting the desert its either too dry, just wet, and too damned wet by half; except for 2 weeks in August and 2 in September you may get by wearing just summer clothes but i recommend keeping the trench coat handy still. Enjoy, I know I do when I come visit!

qolotlh So let me get this straight... does that mean it doesn’t taste like potatoes?

I live 10 minutes from their factory :)

I love them. They are grandma in the best way

Super underrated, that was hilarious.

Sorry but as someone who lost ancestors to the famine I for one don’t find it funny at all !

@@michelleflood8220 Pretty sure we all have, particularly those at Try. Still funny.

Sheila R sorry but to me you don’t make light of something that killed a million people or make remarks like that in a flippant way she may have meant it as sarcastic but that wasn’t the way it came across it came across as tactless

The Famine was a motivational diet my ancestors practiced by traveling the America..

Omg

And a range of wine jellies. A very PNW take on turkish/cypriot delights.
