Tayto - world famous in Ireland...

[(RIP) Bin Ridin]

from IT:

Tayto cheese and onion: There probably comes a moment in every Irish person’s life when they realise that Tayto is not the generic term for crisps, and thus our geographic positioning as an island nation on the edge of Europe truly hits home. Think of JI students in the bars of Cape Cod or Atlantic City asking for “two bottles of Rolling Rock and a few bags of Tayto” to the bewilderment of local staff.

Many an Irish adolescent embrace just wouldn’t be the same without cheese-and-onion breath. In recent years, brands such as Walkers have begun to broaden our awareness of other flavours and varieties. Tayto itself, though, shows no signs of going away, and continues to enjoy strong market share. It’s been around Ireland since 1954, when the cheese-and-onion flavour first began life in a rented room off Moore Street.

Oh yeah and the times you couldn't find it and you'd think they forgot it and you'd get it when you were nearly finished and you'd put the whole lot on the miserable bit left and it would taste like salt and nothing else.....

those were the days...

Never understood why all the Irish go crazy for the Taytos.
They've got to be the worst crisps ever.
They're greasy and lack flavour and always on the edge of staleness
It's just another misty eyed moment where they say we invented the crisp or we make the best crisps in the world or some other some such nonsense begora.
Well they don't, If they were any good they'd have the royal stamp of approval.

Excuse me sir, would you like some fried tuber with you MSG? How on earth can you say they're tasteless?!!! 'Tis manna from heaven, that's what it is...

Mind you, eat a packet at bedtime, and it feels like badgers were tramping through yer gob next morning....

There was a lady called Liz
At Judging crisps she was the biz
She was fair fond of Tayto
Made from Irish potato
The other brands she fed to the corgis
