Irish vs UK tayto taste

blindasfcuk

Hi Guys

Im about to order some taytos and club orange for my brother in thailand but the place Im ordering from is in the UK so I just wanted to make sure that they taste the same. Anyone have any input on this. The packaging is different but is that the only difference?

I think it's a fairly different taste. I prefer the UK ones but thats just me

There is a big difference.
Tayto Northern Ireland are a completely different company than Tayto in the Republic.
I've tasted the Northern Ireland ones; personally I prefer our own.

North and south Tayto ate completely different. If he is used to the red and blue bag then I'd get them for him.

I much prefer the south tayto, with the exception of the NI spring onion flavour

Different as said, they are trademarked in each country, interestingly because of this you can not order Irish taytos to the UK (from their site anyway), but you probably can have them sent to Thailand.

There is similar trademark trouble with batchelors/mcdonnells supernoodles, they are made be a UK company called batchelors, which is not the same as the Irish baked bean people. So they have to be sold under mcdonnells here.

Some user here is a shopkeeper and bought boxes cheap in the UK and got letters from batchelors (beans) telling him he had to stop selling them.

And bulmers is registered in the UK, so thats why Irish bulmers is called magners abroad.

if somebody was on the ball they might have trademarked stuff here years ago, of stuff not sold here yet, in the hope they would get paid off, like making Irish Oreo bars or something.

I emailed Tayto the other day to try and get a box sent over to London but no joy, anyone know of any UK distributors? I know they're sold on ebay but there's a bit of an hefty markup on them.
