I was talking with a friend who mentioned “taking tea to India”. It made me wonder what the equivalents are around the world. “Taking coals to Newcastle” is the UK’s.

    Same, or “he could sell igloos to eskimos” to describe an especially skilled salesman.

      I’ve heard “It’s like selling ice to Eskimos” used in the context of the OP

      Yeah, I’ve only ever heard it in the “he could sell…” formulation.
