I know lots of people from many different areas of the country from Donegal to Cork. And I have NEVER heard anyone who talks that way. Everyone I have ever met calls crisps by their actual brand name. If they happen to be tayto they call them tayto. If they're walkers they call them walkers. I'm utterly convinced that this idea that 'culchies call all crisps tayto' is nonsense of the highest order that Dubs believe solely because other Dubs have told them its the case.

WEll even though my previous post may have given the impression I was not altogether looking forward to an outing in a crisp named park while frozen precipitation was still lingering but in fact I was sooooo looking forward to it. The truth is that Tayto Park is a fantastic outing.... The park itself is very well spread out and even though the beautiful lakes and water features were still well frozen, this in fact added to the the effect. We had 20 kids aged 5 to 8, 22 kids aged 8 to 11, and 12 kids aged 11 to 13. Not one of those kids moaned about a single thing today (trust me that is a rareity). They got to explore the park and the huge fantastic climbing frames and slides. Then they moved on to explore Pocahaunus Tipee's where we told them some stories of how the American Red Indians used to live in these type of dwellings and they were totally entralled by this. Then, in groups of two they got to go the absolutely stunning lodge to meet Santa in his grotto. The grotto is just brilliant, with gorgeous stuffed animals (fake ones) snuggly animated Polar Bears and a two of the loveliest Elves I have ever met. Santa was a joy and the kids got really good pressies. Then they got to go explore the park and look at all the animals, far too many varieties for me to remember, but I know the Ocelot was my favorite. Finally they were brought up to the lodge to have their food. At this point may I just say, as one who operates in the food business, I am constantly watching how others do food and mostly (on these type of outings) I find that the kids are served up food that only kids WOULD eat. NOT SO today. The food was the standard fare of Chicken Dippers, Sausages and Wedges, but it was plentiful and not the cheap and nasty variety. We were served platters of food, a huge variety, and one hungry leader who could not wait until food was served had Cottage pie and roast vegetables, or which not one iota was left on the plate. I asked the GM how many people they employ, and at the moment they have 37 although he said by next summer they hope to up this to 50. The staff who were there today went out of their way to facilitate everyone who was there. As ours was not the only group, it was great talking to other groups and finding that they were just as impressed as us. Overall, I think with time Tayto Park will be receiving bus loads of visitors.. All of our six leaders agreed that we would be more than happy to bring our kids back here for another outing in the future. Check it out, we even got a goodie bag of Tayto Crisps, what more could you want. Well done Tayto, and thanks a million for a really great day, it was great value...... Does that Ocelot want a new home???? I can Ocelot sit anytime.

It was probably half to three quarters complete but it is a fine job and talking to some of the people involved there are some very good things to come when it is fully operational next spring. I think that in all fairness go have a look you may be surprised. I was a bit skeptical when I first went out there but came away fairly impressed by what I saw and will definetly be bringing a gang of kids there next year.

I don't see the big deal, just because some people refer to all crisps as taytos doesn't make them some kind of uneducated moron who says "Erra".
