> My wife’s family is Irish and I spend a lot of time there. Their Dairy Milk is much creamier, much like their milk. I think their blue top “full” milk is much closer to the old “gold top” we used to have here in the UK.
I wouldn't be surprised if it is creamier if they source their dairy locally. I miss gold top milk! I always try to buy butter from Ireland too, it tends to be richer in flavour.
The insanity of the current situation in the UK is that there is a sugar tax (I once got sugar-taxed on a sugar free drink), sweet snacks have been suffering from shrink-flation (or inflation if we're talking about a freddo), and yet, for all of these efforts there is still an obesity crisis. If there is going to be an obesity crisis anyway, it might as well be from nice food.
I noticed that Guinness is by far the best when you buy it in Ireland. Mainland Britain is second best, and then it seems to get worse the further out you get. There is not a nicer beer than a fresh hearty Guinness.
