As an Irish follower I am so glad to see this! We definitely have a lot of uniquely Irish food brands here and it's so nice to see them showcased on your channel! :D
I’m from America (Florida born, live in North Carolina) and Ive always known that I was Irish, my grandfather is full Irish! I have always felt a connection to Celtic paganism, mythology, folklore, culture, and traditions!! Im actually a Celtic pagan! I recently did an ancestry DNA test and found out I am 78% Celtic!!!! (Northwestern Europe- 33%, Ireland-18%, Scotland- 16%, and Welsh- 11%) Recently I bought tickets to Ireland for October and I’m so absolutely excited! I cannot wait! 💛💛💛 as I’m watching this video series I am writing down snacks and drinks, so when I’m in Ireland I can look for them and try them! I love this channel so much so thank you for these videos!! 💛💛💛
Those preserves sound delicious, especially the black currant. My grandmother made fig preserves from her fig tree in the back yard and they were so good. Great memories. Have a good one.
Tayto once came out with a chocolate bar infused with cheese and onion crisp pieces. It was an acquired taste. They have loads more types of crisps than the three you were sent.
I'm a Canadian and I lived in Dublin, Ireland for a WONDERFUL year. I travelled the country and loved the people, food, breathtaking scenery, music, arts, absolutely everything. If you haven't travelled to Ireland, you've got to put Ireland on the top of your list.💞
I've been noticing that Kate does the same thing I do. When she hears a word/phrase that reminds her of a song, she just starts singing 🤣🤣 Relish in the Canada & the US is a pickled cucumber jam
I was living in Latvia from the birth and now I’m in Ireland with my boyfriend and it’s amazing 😍 I’m already fall in love with this country I see many differences between this two countries and personally for me Ireland is better for 100%
So excited to watch this. I (unfortunately) am not of Irish descent, but I had dreamt of going to Ireland since I was a young girl. There was always a deep connection to that place, and in 2007, I got to go for the first time. I absolutely fell in love with it there and cried for a month when I returned to the states because it felt like I had found my true home. 7 years later (2014), my boyfriend surprised me with a trip back (I talked about Ireland a lot lol), and we had the time of our lives. He ended up loving it as much as I did...so, in 2019, after our wedding, we spent the first half of our honeymoon in Ireland 😂. We plan to move there one day in the future! It is truly my favorite place in the world and this box is making me miss it!
Omg I can’t wait for all of these videos - I am Irish but haven’t been able to go home due to the pandemic. These are going to be so good - now time to watch 🥰
Yaaay so glad you’re excited for these videos. Sorry you haven’t been able to go home ♥️ hopefully not much longer now until you can! Enjoy watching 🥰🥰
@@FoodTastertv I currently live in Turkey but due to the restrictions on travel, quarantine etc it means that this will be the second summer I won’t be able to go home. Yes, Ireland will always be home even though I live abroad ❤️
Our relish in america is also green, made from pickles(gerkins) there is dill which is sour, and also sweet pickle relish made out of bread and butter pickles. which are sweet.
Monster munch is originally Irish but it was spicy flavour. And walkers bought it from tayto and now our spicy flavour is called mighty munch.there are smokey bacon salt and vinegar and there's other versions of snacks like snax with my toddler loves
Having watched this, I went to a website selling Irish foods, I couldn’t wait to try the tomato relish and the marmalade, I had to buy other things too, and now I’m just waiting for them to arrive! All the food looked delicious, and you two really sold it to me 😀
I met my husband in the Edinburgh airport when I went on vacation to Scotland from California! He’s from Northern Ireland and I loved visiting Ireland and all the darling coastal towns, Bray, Cobh and Kinsale were some of my favorites! Beautiful country! 🥰
@@ThisWithThem it is a great love story! We will be married 20 years this coming January but I still only see that mopped headed boy from Belfast smiling at me at the baggage claim! 💗
I live in Michigan but my father was born in Ireland and came to America at age 19. I have always been fascinated with English and Irish culture including the food. I want so badly to visit Ireland and connect with family that I have never met. Love your videos
Firstly, I absolutely love love love your videos. They have got me through lockdowns 1,2,3 and the rest 100%! Just going in a food journey around the world. It’s been my safety blanket to escape on a night to help me sleep! Another thing, is that I don’t know if anyone has given this feedback. When you get huge boxes like this one, I personally would love 3 mixed videos with chocolate, snacks and sweets. So it’s more variety. Rather than one 30 min video of just one category. I understand it makes sense as it’s organised. But I just think the video would personally be more interesting and varied for myself. I mean this in a positive way not negative at all. I love you guys!!! Alex your dry humour kills me! And Kate your positive and bright personality literally can’t not fail to make someone smile! Xxx
Originally from Newfoundland, Canada. My cousin and I have dated our family tree back to 1795 when our family came over from Ireland. We'd have to go there to find the rest of our family tree. We have Jacobs crackers in Newfoundland. Our accents are alot like the Irish accent as well
WOW! Such a great box!! I can’t wait to see the next two parts! Im so glad you guys got to try those Keough’s crisps! We’ve got the shamrock Amc sour cream at our Costco right now and in a massive bag! Favorite!!! My eyes lit up when I saw them 🤣 and girl! You had me convinced that you actually liked a beer with that last one in the beginning! 🤣 the actress has arrived! 🙌🏼take a bow! 🤣 and Alex’s beer of the week! 🤣 oh my gosh! You guys, such a great box! Hugs and love to you all, and we will see you next week! ❤️❤️😘😘😘😘😘
No way!!! That's so cool you can get them at Costco!! Love that. Haha 😂I was pretty impressed with my acting skills 😂 😀Found that so hard to keep back my eugh face haha So glad you enjoyed it Somer! Hope you're having a lovely week!
clicked this video so fast when I saw it come up in my subscriptions! been waiting for an Ireland one. as like you said my ancestors came here from Ireland. I want to visit so badly it's gorgeous.
Yes! My grandpa's parents came over to the America's from Ireland. We visited back in 2007 and my parents have gone back a few times to visit our O'Hara ancestors who own the O'Hara estates which they turned into a bed and breakfast 😀
3:10 People emigrated to America during the famine in 1845-1852, nearly two million people or about a quarter of our population left, that's why so many Americans have Irish ancestry, a good few people went to Australia aswell but not as many.
I have always had a deep appreciation and love of the UK, because of my Grandfather was English and my grandmother was Irish so as a gift I was given the ancestry test to see how much I was of either nationality, came back stating that I am over 47% Irish and 14% English was told that if you are a certain percentage that you can put in paperwork to claim dual citizenship, if I was able to afford the cost to travel to the UK I would so love to do so..your channel is one of the many reasons that I truly enjoy your videos, as it gives me a glimpse into the UK culture and all it encompasses.
Oh wow. That is so amazing. I didn’t realise if you had a certain Percentage you could apply for dual citizenship. How cool!! I would love to do one of those ancestry tests! Ah love that. Thank you 🥰
Oh you guys do cheer me up. I have fave Irish snacks that haven't featured.... yet ...but i think they just may do in the next two ! Really enjoyable 🙂🙂
A relish is a cooked and pickled product made of finely chopped vegetables (tomato or cucumber), fruits, pickle and/or herbs and is a food item typically used as a condiment to enhance a staple food. (it can be sweet or it can be savory)I make a pickled cucumber cabbage (red pepper cauliflower) relish every year, and not only do we eat it on the typical hamburgers and hotdogs, but I also put it in my tuna salad and mayo and potato salads, or to top a cracker and cheese. I also make a pickled sweet apple relish which is close to a chutney. I can't grow mangoes in Canada, so apples it is!
Yayy I'm so excited to watch this video! I love the idea of splitting up the box into sections. My question is when will wtf videos be uploaded? I am just too excited to watch it. Btw I love your channel guys, I get so happy when you guys upload! 🥰
I learned from a 23andMe DNA kit that I’m 77.4% British and Irish. It even tells what areas which is really cool! My ancestors came from mostly London, northwest England, Glasgow area, Dublin, and the western coastal areas of Ireland. 🍀
Hi Kate and Alex! This is a great box! I love Potato Chips alot. All those Chips and beers looked great. Now, I want to make homemade potato chips and put my own herbs on them. Have a great week.
Chips are just so good aren’t they! 😍😍 they were all so delicious 😋 oh wow. They sound amazing!!!! Definitely make them!! Hope you have a great week too!
Ah Laura you beat me to it! I'm in the middle of putting together an Irish box for you guys with my little sisters, I've got some of this stuff but still plenty of other things , also definitely come to Ireland , north and south (I'm from Derry) are so gorgeous 💜
I found out my great granda is from Bray before moving to Glasgow. I need to visit soon when circumstances allow. Another amazing video Alex and Kate. Once again, I've got the snacks out and ready to watch!
SO much is amazing about this vid: epic box, a first from Ireland (where I was going to visit for my 40th bday before COVID hit), AND learning that WTF is coming back! Sad to be late to the party but it still made my day xo
Ive had my DNA done. I am 78% British from all over, mostly Cornwall and Devon, although can trace back to about 20 places there. My husband on the other hand is 84% Irish. Both of us long ancestry in America. (my dads side were all miners, and they do say the definition of a mine, is a hole with a cornish man at the bottom. ) cheers
🍻 🥔 Laura what a WONDERFUL assortment of goodies. Our family does have Scotch - lrish blood. I have never gone, but would love to. When I went to Scotland I totally felt at home and loved the people. I used to love orange soda 🥤 as a kid. That one sounds delightful ! 🍊🍋 In the USA we love pickle relish (sweet and dill) on hamburgers and hotdogs and in tuna salad sandwiches. Have never seen tomato relish. I went to Cost Plus World Market today and got a mint Aero bar and a few packs of German Bahlsen Waffel Mini’s so excited to enjoy them with my granddaughter. I am looking forward to the Irish ☘️ sweets 🍫 from sweet Laura !!! Blessings Kate and Alex and fans from California. 🎯🎸
I went on a day trip to Dublin in my first year at university ( Bangor, North Wales) in 2001. It was around St Patrick’s Day, and it was so much fun! Iona is beautiful too, very tranquil, the perfect place to go, especially before university finals in my last year at uni (2004).
Every time i watch your videos, i run to the kitchen looking for something sweet. You guys are making me gain weight 😂😂I love your videos by the way ❤️
I am of Irish ancestry on both my mom and dad’s side of the family. I am also English, Scottish, and German. I haven’t traveled to Ireland or Scotland but I have been to England and Germany before.
the disrespect on the original Tayto cheese and onion 😭😭 made me hungry watching ye, had to have a tayto sandwich while watching! Love seeing people try out every day drink and food, amazing video 👏🏼👏🏼
Those crisps made my mouth water 😍! I'm a plain Jane I love ready salted 🙈 unless I ever see sour cream and chive then they are my favourites! Watching this eating cinnamon swirls my mums baked 😍
Hi Kate and Alex. Watching from Co.Kildare (county kildare) in Ireland. Just down from Dublin. I laughed everytime you said Keoghs crisps as I have never heard them pronounced the way you said it😂🤣. Also the relish needs to be tried on toast with butter, 2 slices of ham, 1 melted slice of cheese, preferably mature cheddar and spread the relish over the melted cheese yum. Also nice on crackers and cheese, actually like it on a jacket potato so hope you added some to your dinner, burger as Alex said. And theres a place in Bray called 'Box Burger' which does the best burgers in my opinion.
Yall sould do a collaboration video with The Try Channel ( Irish People Trying ) different snacks !!! Do yall know that channel ? That would be an amazing video !!!
Have a few from Ireland. 1754 one of them came to America. Not sure what in Ireland for sure,but somebody in my family history was from Killarney. Need to do more research.
Currently eating some Kettle brand sea salt chips and dipping in Nutella. It started with a banana and nutella but after starting this video I decided to grab some chips. Pregnancy cravings are nuts.
27:50 You are wrong, Relish is comprised of pickles or other pickled vegetables, usually mixed with vinegar, salt, sugar, sometimes chili's for a kick.
Awesome video! Kate i really believed you when u said you liked that beer. Excellent acting lol. When it comes to alcohol drinks is, if i dont like something i cant fake the reaction. With alcohol Its involuntary This video was really interesting and funny too!
