Traditional fare now available on "the mainland"

Not sure whether to be happy or not, but at the checkout in Iceland (vive le crunch du credit!) this afternoon I spotted a couple of new products on offer from Kingsmill - potato bread, and pancakes. As in the thick small bread-y pancakes, not the sort you make on Shrove Tuesday. These are my two favourite Irish bread products (besides Veda) and it has been a source of some consternation that they have - until now - been hard to come by down in London town.

Obviously I'd be happier if Ormo or another local bakers was flogging the original produce over here, but in the meantime I'll make do with the overly-sugared mainstream version. Can't help but feel a bit protective towards it though. Whatever next - brown Lemonade on the shelves of Tesco?
