Which is the tastier? Tayto or King Crisps

pipelaser

Ya cant beat a a good aul packet of King Crisps. So much more flavoursome.
Ive come across(many deluded) people that go for the Tayto if given the choice. Surely this is wrong and a force of habit?
Vote please

They're all made in Ashbourne now aint they?

Kiera

Mega meanies.

Neonjack

A packet of King and a Twirl at the same time. Salty chocolate heaven.

Bajingo

Do king still do more than one flavour?

Kilbrew, to be precise. They just put "Ashbourne" on it to make it sound more familiar to Dubs. Much more Curraha than Killeglan/Ashbourne.

Oh king crisps . ..yum yum.


Dammit...i want a bag of crisps now!

davyjose

King are king

snuggles09

king definitley..and yeah i'd smother me mother for a packet right now!

Shulgin

Not fond of King at all. Tayto all the way.

Catari Jaguar

King is far nicer imo. Tayto cheese & onion is too oniony and strong.

Davidius

It really depends. Would probably prefer Tayto in general.

pipelaser

Yea, Hunky Doreys stole the whole buffalo advert thing from the Kilbrew Factory.
They're actually in the field beside the Kilbrew factory

I'm a Tayto man, but then again that's becaused tayto was the primary crisp when I was growing up.
It's what came in the weekly shopping.

It's like the Sega-SNES debate.
There were Sega families, and there were SNES families.


There were rich families that had both also

Was in a pub in New York and they were selling the bags of Tayto!

Hank_Jones

If it's cheese and onion we are talking about, it's King all the way.
Tayto c+o are manky.

I am partial to a pack of Tayto smoky bacon though.

Golden Wonder. No, Cheese & Onion Squares.

I didn't know crisps were a particularly exciting product. Whoever markets them were clearly aiming at people like you.

tayto

golden wonders were lovely too though

Tasty.

Sam Spudz crinkled smokey bacon with Cavan Cola, Wham bar, Refreshers sweets, Rowntree Macintosh Smarties and my toy Coca Cola truck with Shakin' Stevens singing 'This Old House' in the background.

thetonynator

Tayto, defo!!!!

DazMarz

In King Cheese and Onion vs. Tayto Cheese and Onion; King every time.

In terms of nicest crisps going at the minute: try Pringles Extreme Fiery Wasabi flavour!!! F'ing gorgeous!!!:D

Dionysus

If anybody is a serious crisp head, you can call into the Perri/Hunky Dory/Tayto/King/Sam Spudz factory in Kilbrew near Ratoath and buy your crisps directly - e.g. 60 packs for €20 cash, which is a 33% increase in the price it was 6 months ago (€15). Still way cheaper than buying it in any shop.

Kirnsy

ah now....perfect late night snack...

hovis brown bread
avenmore red cheddar cheese
cured ham slices
butter
ketchup
Tayto Crisps (Cheese & Onion)

Toast the bread, butter it, insert ham and cheese CUT INTO TRIANGLES, dip in ketchup and enjoy each bite with an additional bite of the crisps.

washed down with ice cold milk.....

GLaDOS

Hunky Dorys are better than both, I'd prefer King to Tayto though

ferdyfish

cant believe king are winning. maybe because the only time i see them is the king pub crisps and your after beer when you eat them so thats why!?
does anyone remember ma reillys chesse and onion in a red multipack. think you could buy them for 10p too. a red bag , havnt seen them since around '99 id say.

Remember Smith's crisps with the little salt sachets. At the time, it felt like there was something luxurious about salting your own crisps. Smith's also make Bacon Fries and Scampi Fries, both a pub necessity.

Wouldn't mind that now, most salt and vinegar crisps I get these days have **** all flavour in them, apart form a bit at the end. Back in the day they'd burn your mouth off

In North Inner City Dublin the only option is a patchet of King crips

Agricola

King Crisps. The staple of the Irish pub owner. Cant remember at how many lock-ins me mother n father kept me stuffed with them in order to stave off the boredom.

I love them to this day.

Hank_Jones

All this talk of King crisps is making me hungry.

Gonna make a King crisp sambo.

Run_to_da_hills

King with a pint.

McChubbin

I have it on good autority (grandmother worked at Tayto for 20 years) that they are the same crisps in different bags.

Dyr

a package of king crips is a part of a northsiders heritage. Tayto lost the taste war ages ago
