Tayto - the feckers



Gavin was kind enough to bring a swag of Tayto and purple Snacks from Ireland when he arrived here on Sunday. I say 'kind enough', but we all know that he would have been on the first plane back to Carlow if he hadn't.

I do like Tayto Cheese n Onion, easily the best chip in the world. No arguments will be brooked. So I immediately grabbed a packet, casually looking at the ingredient list, a habit ingrained though bitter experience.

Tayto have changed their recipe, the feckers. They have added cheese powder. CHEESE POWDER. They have tampered with perfection. Its like the Louvre colouring in the Mona Lisa's lips or adding Mickey Mouse cartoons to the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, cos the kids would go for it.

Tayto was always just potaotes, sunflower oil and honest to goodness artifical flavours and preservatives. Now its got cheese powder.

I will no longer eat this alien product.
