Last year, my partner and her mother visited Ireland for a couple of weeks. Gabby fell in love with a pre-packaged Irish ham spread, but she can not remember the name of it. Despite my best search efforts, I can not come up with anything that sounds close. The best way that she can come up with describing it is that it is a cream cheese like ham spread that comes in a small plastic tub like soft cream cheese comes in over here in the US.

Do any of you folks know of any sort of ham spread products that I can look up on the internet? I would like to be able find her some. TIA Maggie & Gabby

I have to say that I've never heard of it - could it be some sort of Pate??? I will have a look in the supermarket tomorrow just in case I can see something like it.

It's not a pate. It is a ham flavored cheese spread according to Gabby's mom, who also can not remember the name of the product. Anyone? Thanks. Maggie

No Irish markets near me that I know of, but I guess a trip to our international farmers market is in my future. I was just hoping that someone might have an idea of a name brand to search for. Sorry to have stumped everyone, but I appreciate your help none the less. Maggie

I may be way off here, but is it Primula Cheese Spread with Ham? I don't think it's Irish but it might be available there as it is here in England.
