Since visiting the factory I’ve been doing non-stop taste tests on friends and family. Photograph: Alan Betson News Breaking News! This category is devoted to all of our news articles, with a focus on the biggest breaking stories in the world of show business. We’ve managed to break plenty of viral news stories in the past, from the release of the new Lion King live-action movie to the announcement that Holly Willoughby would be replacing Ant McPartlin on I’m A Celebrity. As well as entertainment news we also feature breaking articles from the most weird and wonderful corners of the internet. If you want to keep up-to-date with fascinating news stories that are slightly off-the-radar, then this is the place to be. Convincing Martin was the next hurdle. “Farmer’s don’t like change,” laughs Sean. “I had to convince him it was worth the risk to stop growing potatoes for the plate, and start growing ones that make great crisps.” This amusement park offers over 100 attractions, a zoo, and many rides that kids and kids at heart love, making it one of the best theme parks and waterparks in Ireland. We have his son to thank for the name Tayto. It is now known to many worldwide, even becoming the Irish slang for the word crisps of any kind. Joe Murphy used this word as this is how his small son pronounced the word potato.
In a post on Reddit people seemed to be in two different camps when it came to their opinion on the new product. After this comes what will from now on be referred to as the flavour tunnel. The crisps have risen up a conveyor belt and wait in a clear plastic box. Once the lab results are clear, a button is pressed, the flavour tunnel starts to spin, and an airborne mist of salt and vinegar shoots up your nose. It’s the best possible thing you could have shoot up your nose. The crisps make their way down, jumping into the flavour tunnel and dancing along it, looking like they’re having the time of their life – and for the record, there is no crisp as delicious as one still warm from the fryer that’s been given a salt and vinegar coat just seconds beforehand. When he says small batches, he means it. For their sharing bags (100g) only 48 are made in each run at their Ashbourne, Co Meath factory, taking eight minutes in total. Each batch has to be tested and tasted along the way – tough job. The potatoes also have to be tested in advance, and the recipe for cooking changes depending on moisture levels and sugars. Crisps were invented in England before Tayto, but these were without seasoning. An Irishman by the name of Joe ‘Spud’ Murphy came up with the idea of the seasoned or flavoured crisp. Credit: Facebook / @MrTaytoWhatever it is, an educated guess might conclude that your favourite crisp is probably Irish, because few do it better than we do - this is, after all, the spiritual home of the potato. Think of the rows over Irish Tayto versus UK Tayto, Irish King versus UK King. We’re just really good at crisps. So wouldn’t it make sense that if the best crisps in the whole world were going to be made anywhere, it would be here?
As if things couldn’t be better for this remarkable and legendary brand, the fascinating story behind Tayto continues with a fantastic theme park in County Meath. Today, Tayto can be found in all parts of the world, generally for a high price considering they are imported and are classed as a luxury food item. We’re not trying to make a health food, but crisps are usually shared. It’s nice for them to be inclusive,” says Sean, referring to the fact that all of their products are naturally gluten-free have no cholesterol, and the salt and vinegar and steak flavours are vegan. Steak-flavoured crisps that have never seen meat? Sean says they don’t need to, that the same flavour compounds can be found through barbecuing vegetables. The Tayto brand has made a huge impact on the food world. Many other global crisp brands only wish they had the incredible story and reputation that Tayto has.
An Eastern flavour
If your dog eats one single crisp, this shouldn't cause them harm, but it's always worth speaking with your vet if you have any concerns. As little as one bag could cause sodium poisoning or pancreatitis, and longer term consumption may lead to weight gain and obesity. Can dogs eat Wotsits crisps? Pringles are particularly fatty and salty as they are produced using potato and cornflour that has been deep fried. This high quantity of sodium and saturated fat can be harmful to your pet, so pringles should never be offered as a treat. Can dogs eat Walkers salt and vinegar crisps?
