- Ugh, that smells rancid.
- Ooh, it's chocolate!
- ♪ (French accordion music) ♪
- (FBE) We're gonna have you try some Irish snacks today.
- Irish snacks, whoo! High five.
Top o' the morning to you, laddies.
My name's not Jacksepticeye. Welcome to Irish food.
- I've had Lucky Charms, but those aren't really Irish.
- Oh my God, I'm really excited 'cause I've never tried
anything Irish before, I don't think.
- I'm Irish! My mom's mom is Irish.
I've never been, but I want to go.
- I'm all up for trying new experiences,
'cause I've been trying so many snacks and drinks
and vegetables and this is just raising the bar even higher.
- (FBE) Here is your first snack. - Ooh, sandwich.
It's chips on a sandwich. That's literally the coolest
thing ever.
- It just looks like a sandwich with a chip inside of it.
- Wait, what? Chips are supposed to be
eaten on their own or at least with dip or salsa.
- This looks yummy. It's like Lay's chips,
but with creaminess to it.
- Not bad as a chip. Oh, it's not a chip.
Not good. Trash can, please?
Tasted like brick.
- I love it. I tasted butter.
It tastes just like a flavor of sour cream.
- I put chips inside of sandwiches a lot.
It's kind of normal for me.
- (FBE) So, these are called Tayto Crisps.
You are eating salt and vinegar but the number one flavor pack
is cheese and onion. Unfortunately, they are so popular,
this option was sold out. It's most commonly eaten
like a sandwich on white bread spread with butter,
the crisps are in the middle, and it is known as
the king crisp sandwich. In 2010, Tayto opened
a theme park called Tayto Park near Ashbourne.
- Oh my God, that's crazy that a whole amusement park
goes to this.
- Is it an amusement park amusement park
or is it just with potatoes.
- They opened a theme park out of a food?
That's weird, but I mean, there's Knott's Berry Farm, so.
- (FBE) Here is your next one. - Ah man, is that cheese?
Oh come on.
- I know, this is some kind of coconut.
- It looks like peanut butter with coconut.
- It looks like someone chewed bubble gum, threw it
into the dirt, put coconut all over it, put strawberries
and marshmallows and then decided to eat it.
- How do you eat this with your hands?
This is really gross. I feel like I need a spoon
or a fork or something. Okay, so it's a cherry.
It's actually pretty good. I really like this.
- Tastes like a granola bar. I like it 'cause it's sweet.
- There's a marshmallow and then there's graham cracker
and then it's coconut. It's yummy!
- Too smushy. I don't like smushy foods.
- (FBE) So, this is known as Irish fifteens.
It is a popular homemade cookie. Its name comes from the
ingredients of fifteen marshmallows, cherries, and biscuit crumbs
all mixed together and topped with coconut.
- Oh my God, that's awesome. I'm gonna have this every day.
- Those were very good. I like the sweetness of it.
- I want some more of that marshmallow.
- (FBE) Here is your next. - I don't want it to be spicy,
'cause it looks like it's gonna be spicy.
- Is that ketchup?
- Ugh, that smells rancid.
- I like it. It's basically just
a mini pizza.
- It's not horrible. It actually tastes--
with the sauce, it tastes good.
- Ugh, that's really bad. It's like sweet and sour sauce,
teriyaki sauce, and barbecue sauce had a baby.
- Its texture is wet, watery.
- It tastes like meatball sauce.
- I like the bread, 'cause it's baguette
and I love baguettes. I like the sauce.
The sauce is good. It tastes like ketchup.
- (FBE) So, I'll do my best with the pronunciation.
This is Ballymaloe relish, typically consumed on
burgers, sandwiches, or bread and cheese.
- I like it, actually. I love In-N-Out,
and this tastes like an In-N-Out cheeseburger.
- So, instead of the green relish that we have here,
it's like a red relish? I think it's really good.
- I wouldn't mind if I had this on some kind of burger
or hotdog for me.
- I would never eat this on a burger or sandwich.
- (FBE) Here's your next. - Ooh.
- Oh, it's chocolate! It's like a Kit Kat bar.
Satisfying.
- Irish people are awesome.
- This is what I'm hoping for. Chocolate.
Beautiful, sweet, plain old chocolate
- It says Cadbury.
- Oh my gosh, this is so good. It's so creamy, delicious.
- That's super good. I really like that.
It tastes like Hershey's chocolate. I love Hershey's chocolate, so this
gives it a big win.
- This is the best chocolate I've ever had.
It has a taste that it's different from all the other chocolates.
- (FBE) So, this snack is called a Cadbury dairy milk bar.
Cadbury has been making dairy milk in Ireland since 1933
and it is still one of the best selling and most requested
chocolates in the country. - Like the Hershey's of Ireland.
- Can I eat the rest of it?
- I know where I'm gonna move to next.
Watch out Ireland, here I come.
- (FBE) Next one. - Ooh, looks like banana bread.
- Smells like kind of rotten banana bread.
- It just kind of smells like pumpkin bread.
- This one's probably the healthy type of bread.
- Doesn't taste like anything.
- Kinda bland. I taste more the dough
than actual hard bread.
- It smells bad, but it's bland. I think that you use this to
soak up the juices of different stuff.
- Tastes like normal bread. I would eat it
with something on top of it to give it more of a taste,
but I mean, it's good.
- I hate it. I think the worst one
of all of these.
- (FBE) This is Irish brown soda bread.
The bread was invented in the interest of creating
a loaf that was simple as well as wholesome
and nutritious. Brown Irish soda bread
requires a little bit of mixing and no kneading at all.
The bread is savory, made with the combination of white
and whole wheat flour and oats, with toasted wheat germ
to give is a nutty depth. Buttermilk brings it all together
and keeps the bread from being dry.
- I mean, it's okay. I wouldn't say it's bad,
but I wouldn't say it's good.
- Soda bread? Why would you call
it soda bread? It's good and it's squishy, too.
- It didn't taste like anything, but it smelled bad.
I guess it's good because it's nutritious.
It's good for them bones.
- (FBE) Overall, what do you think about all of these Irish snacks?
- It was surprisingly good.
- It's super cool. It's a new experience for me,
so yeah, I really like it.
- I like trying other kinds of food.
- I love them. I am now going to
learn how to speak Irish. Don't Irish people speak English?
Never mind. Oh, facepalm.
