Tayto vs King

Paullimerick

I was just going to say Keoghs anything as they are nice. O Donnells if that's the name I also like.
But but but tattoos cheese and onion are up there with the best of the rest

Put it this way, ever visited "King Park"?

I wasn't mad about the old King Park but the New King Park isn't too bad.

King are nicer than Tayto.

However O'Donnells are the nicest most full of flavour crisps by a mile.

Sam Spudz salt n vinegar used to be very tasty, also the Monster Munch that was out years ago.

Hunky Dory Sour Cream and Onion.

Outside of places like journal.ie, is there so much of a difference as to warrant an opinion?

Tayto and King are produced in the same factory. It's my understanding that the difference between them is down to the type of malrodrextin used and the granularity of the yeast powder.

there is no place for facts and science in this meaningless debate.

State a preference and disdain for all others and move on......:D

Yeah but which Malodrextin and yeast powder do you prefer?

Tayto is exactly the same as King.

King is far superior, especially the cheese and onion

The multipack Taytos are always bland and in bits whereas the King are always full of flavour and taste fresher.

Personally though, my fave crisps are Pringles Salt & Vinegar and the worst are Salted flavour anything.

Eh...No.

King for me. My least favourite crisp is actually Tayto. I'd rate many other brands ahead of Tayto.

No, King are finer cut. Coming from the same factory doesn't mean they are identical.

King easily.

Walkers Baked are damn nice too, a bit chunkier than regular crisps but not as heavy since its not been fried.

Walker's Baked are the worst crisps I have ever tasted. There's a reason why crisps are fried.

Manhatton cheese and onion FTW

No competition

Tayto by far.

All you King worshippers in another time and place would have ended up in the Manson Family.

Even further back the King pub crisp (that was extra salty so you would drink more) was in a pack that resembled the King card from the proverbial deck. Bigger packet too.

They are meant to only be sold in pubs afaik. I remember seeing big bags on sale in the garage leaving dublin for galway before you hit the motorway. Think its a texaco but not sure.

Can't get how anyone would like Walkers over either of them

The last time Tayto were nice they cost about 11p. Sometime in the late eighties the quality control dropped virtually overnight and they started selling bags of burned crap made from green potatoes.

Finer cut!

thinner crisps mean it looks like you get more in a bag.

Also cant find em outside of catering bags but Perri C&O were lovely back in the day, one of the first to use foil packaging from what I remember.

The red C&O? They were heavenly. Special mention for the purple pack Hunky Dory, the flavour of which i cannot remember but christ they were something else.

Er, yeah... that's not why I prefer them. I just like the lighter texture. Now maybe you were fooled into thinking there was more in a bag with finer cut crisps but don't lump us all in with you!
