I really miss crisps

gonedrinking

I've even began to have dreams where I'm eating tayto cheese and onion crisps. Why doesn't Australia do crisps? Apart from those big massive bags of kettle crisps and the like. Someone could make a bomb opening a shop which sold proper crisps.

Agent Smith

Send me 70 euro by paypal and i'll send you a box of tayto.

gonedrinking

tempting but no deal

you can find them around (tayto).
even see the tayto mascot on stickers in shop windows (talking sydney).
Can even get them in the merc in the rocks from behind the bar.

Yeah few places around sell tayto. 2.50a pack though. There's a little shop in bondi junction that sells all Irish stuff. Very dear though. What i want is decent sausages. Got some so called Irish sausages in butcher near woolworths in coogee but they were muck

gonedrinking

I don't think anywhere in Melbourne sells them though

imported niche product will always hit the pocket.

There is a few of the "irish sausages" places about but are all pretty much false. Back in the 90's there was one guy who was constantly opening places and closing them as soon as the word got out they were rubbish (did uk pork products as well so conned them too).

Not sure if it's actually possible to import Irish sausages here? (anyone know?)

No more please, there is nothing wrong with missing pieces of home

That's so funny Im an Aussie living in Dublin missing my twisties and cheezels, and ur in my neck of the woods missing tayto. I feel your pain! I suggest doing what i do every Christmas / birthday and telling relatives to send a big box of all your faves!! As for sausages I think we have pretty good butchers there so try them instead of the supermarket?
Good luck!

Next week when I get the time I will destroy a big pack of Chicken twisties for you...

Terrontress

You can get the Northern Tayto delivered to Australia from the factory.

The Pint on Punt sells them, decent boozer as well

Skittlebrau

So does The Drunken Poet on Peel Street (and they have King too).

Best Irish pub in Melbourne imo.

Hmmm $2.50 for a packet in melbourne ...get family to send them you over some, seems to be the cheapest option:D

The ma sent me over four or five packets of Tayto about three months ago and I haven't touched them. Overrated tbh.

Willing to sell to the highest bidder.

Mellor

Seriously, for those that are missing them, have you actually looked at all?
I know of 5 or so pubs and at least 3 shops that sell them.

So they tasted like the genuine article then?


It must be what you were used to when you were young. I tried Tayto when in Ireland and could not see what the fuss was about, they were just ordinary crisps nothing special.

Ozeire

Now again before anyone says any thing I don't have any thing to do with these guys so i'm not advertsing




But these guys have Tayto Cheese & Onion for Cost: $1.98 with Delivery Australia wide.


Hope this helps

I'm in Berri, SA right now.

We just received a Christmas package including three packets of King crisps and I just ate one of them. It was awesome. That is all.

try the coles pork chipolata's , they are a decent replacement for irish sausages , they are not the same so dont think that they are gonna be, but if you are looking for something to add to the fry on a sunday morning then give em a shot.

not really, didn't like them myself.
There is a butchers in penrith outside sydney called the "irish butcher" his sausages are great, he used to be a butcher in Raheny for years and moved out here to set up a few years back, he even does proper irish rashers (just had some with eggs this morning..mmmmm!!!), black and white pudding, sliced cooked ham etc.. he also has a little stand in his shop with gravy, tayto, teabags etc
He supplies all the irish pubs around sydney and even one or two up in brisbane with their sausages etc
He is also the main meat supplier for tasteireland.com.au
He delivers too.
You have to try the sausages they are fantastic.
I saw his ad in the irishecho a few months back and gave them a try, now when i go there, i have to get loads of stuff for all the irish around here.

when i was in melbourne i used to go to a shop on the first floor of the collins234 shopping centre, on collins street. its nearby the tram stop at town hall if i remember right. they have practically everything. mainly have english stuff but its all stuff you'd buy at home anyway, but there is an irish section with lyons, chef sauce and taytos from the north. hope that helps!

hussey

Warringah Mall near Manly have a good butchers

Awesome, thanks for that! I just had some and they were delicious. But why are they so dear? At $2 a bag, I'll probably never buy them again, whereas if they made them a more sensible price I would probably buy them every day.
