    Ok not allowed to eat crisps anymore, they are lethal for cholesterol. Just thought all you young whipper snappers should know why you are all going to have heart attacks down the line

    Smiths crisps were owned by Tayto at one point. Tayto are no longer m/f in the Republic as far as I know . There is a plant in the wee North churning them out. The company that revived Perri Crisps in the 1990's as far as I am aware are the brains behind Hunky Dory.

    Everything else on the Irish market is foreign owned including Walkers,Pringles, Doritos etc.
    Pringles may be made here under licence , not 100% sure about that.

    We want to be... Smiths Crisps. Salt n Shake yum. And I think squares used to be by them too?

    Think Walkers absorbed Smiths along with a shít load of other manufacturers...

    Yeah loved going to Enniskillen & getting some Smiths Salt & Shake. They were gorgeous!

    A packet of crisps every now and again is no harm.

    (scoffed a packet of Tayto Smokey Bacon when got home from the meeting last nite....am a veggie but Bacon is the only meat I miss)

    You should eat some Tayto Waffles so. You'll be tasting bacon all day.

    I used to eat Frisps in England.
    Don't see them too many places here.
    The thing about King crisps is that you almost never get a bad bag.
    Haven't had Tayto recently but they were nowhere near as consistent.

    Another favourite was Kettle Crisps.
    What I've a taste for now is the O'Brien's Sandwich Bar, branded crisps.
    Have Boot Disk, will travel

    Sainsburys do lovely crisps made out of root vegetables other than potato. They are lightly salted and have loads of flavour.

    The thing that put me off the Walkers Crisps, were those God-awful Roy Keane and Gary Lineker ads.

    Walkers Max are way nicer than regular Walkers. It's a different type of crisp rather than just a bigger bag.

    I really like McCoy's cheese and onion but hate their other flavours. Obviously Tayto and Hunky Dory's are good too.

    When walkers max came out at first there was a chipshop curry flavour that was lovely but you don't seem to be able to get those anymore.

    Christ, where in the hell did that get dragged from!

    I'd rank Tayto as the worst Cheese and Onion crips I've ever eaten. King, Perri and Walkers all outdo it in my opinion. The Salt and Vinegar and Smokey Bacon are decent enough though.
