Obama will get a LOAD of Irish food today, but no Tayto
It’ll all probably be destroyed though…
BARACK OBAMA WILL be given a load of Irish food today, as the US President celebrates St Patrick’s Day.
Bord Bia will present Obama with a selection of food including “premium grass-fed Irish beef”, Ballymaloe country relish, Barry’s Tea, Kerrygold, Lily O’Brien’s chocolates, and Keogh’s crisps (which we’re sure are just as nice as Tayto).
A full list of the foods included can be found here.
Taoiseach Enda Kenny will also present Obama with the traditional bowl of shamrock – which will be almost immediately destroyed by the US Secret Service.
Unfortunately, the food is likely to meet the same fate - due to security reasons.
On a related note, we’re starving right now.
