Train Journeys...
What I miss about home is... train journeys; to the city, to the seaside and daytrips during the long summer holidays. Marietta biscuits, Miwadi orange, Tayto crisps and if you were really lucky, a Cadbury's Snack. Happy memories of sand in the sandwiches and the sea air in our faces...

I recognise them all, particularly Connolly Station as I go in and out of there twice a week on my way to Newry.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment Tom, I am hoping this will build up into a good series of Ireland shots.
ReplyDeleteNoel, no matter where you go you can't find a better Cheese 'n' Onion crisp than Tayto! It was (& still is) one of the things I had to eat when I went back home to Belfast. I used to take some supplies when heading back to Watford again and share them with friends who were amazed at the distinctive flavour. Finding a place that stocked Tayto over here was a rare as hen's teeth but my local Asda store now keeps regular stocks of them. It's amazing how a flavour / smell can take you back home...
ReplyDeleteHoly God, your right. Now you do get them over here but we regularly used to bring a box back in the car and Hick's white pudding and sausages and YR sauce and if you were really lucky, at Christmas a piece of spiced beef and of course spice burgers...
ReplyDeleteYR sauce - now there's something I haven't in about 15 years! I'll see your YR sauce and raise you with Brown / Red lemonade (depending on whether you're North or South of the border).
ReplyDeleteI'll see your red lemonade and raise you jacobs coconut creams, we used to eat the marshmallow first then the biscuit!
ReplyDelete..."Kimberly, Mikado and Coconut Creams, someone you love, would love some Mum!"... at least that how's I recall the tag line on went on the old TV advert. I have to admit to not being a big fan of these 3 biscuits from Jacobs (I was more of a Jacobs Figs fan) but they're a quintessentially Irish biscuit.
ReplyDeleteI am a kimberly addict - they used to do a chocolate coverd one only at Christmas, but now you can get them in a shop in Windsor; so they have lost some of theie rarity value...
