PIC: This surely has to be the greatest Irish care package of all time?

Tony Cuddihy

The bloody size of it.

JOE reader Fiona Cullen works in an Irish bar in Switzerland and has been missing certain everyday treats from home.

What she probably didn’t expect was her parents to turn up in a camper van with the entire stock from the local Super Valu in two.

This is incredible. You’ve got…

  • Easter Eggs
  • Rock Shandy
  • Lyons Tea
  • Terry’s chocolate oranges
  • Chipsticks
  • Sliced pans
  • Clonakilty sausages and black pudding
  • Rashers
  • BUCKFAST!
  • YR Sauce
  • Twirls
  • Wispas
  • Chomps
  • Tayto (obviously)
  • Lucozade
  • Dairy Milk
  • Several jars of jam
  • Even more Terry’s Chocolate Oranges, and, best of all…
  • …TK Red Lemonade, two bottles of!

“I work in an Irish bar and was given a list of things from my co-workers,” she tells us. “Top of the list was Clonakilty pudding, Rock Shandy and TK Red Lemonade. Thought ye would find this picture typically Irish.”

The Irishness of this picture is not in doubt.
