Derry Girls New Series

[Taytocrisps]

Counting down the days here.

"Tayto cheese and onion equals food of the Gods. Tayto Salt and vinegar are enjoyable but no substitute for the real cheese and onion deal. That was why the girls were disappointed that they were ‘only’ salt and vinegar Tayto."

That is a true fact about them being food of the Gods. Fortunately they're sold in Tesco near me.

The Sr Michael clips are so good 😂I'll definitely watch it from the start sometime again.

If you're in the UK, the episodes on All 4 have the correct music. You have to put up with ads, but worth it for the music IMO. I think it's to do with music rights for the US?

Which reminds me - the special extra episode was almost completely ruined for me by the adverts. So many. So often.

I’ve only ever seen the show on All4 and usually find the amount of advertising tolerable - but it really wasn’t on Wednesday. There was so much it was hard to settle into the narrative.

Aye but which Tayto are the best? North or South of the border? 🤣🤐
I have had many RL discussions about this.
My granny lived in Monaghan she'd travel to Newry for the Tayto, we preferred the south side Tayto.

I'm from Dublin and DH from the North. Twenty years in we have an unofficial policy not to go near the topic Which Tayto Is The Real One.

Neither of us even particularly care for Tayto

I love this! 😀

Now I've just reminded myself how much I miss Manhattan popcorn 🤤

I grew up in a Protestant area. So obviously I am of the view that NI Tayto are the real deal. I also went to Tayto Castle in Tandragee for a hen once. 😁

There's a significant Irish population in my area and my local corner shop stocks Tayto... the NI variety. Case closed. 😉

DH is Catholic and insists Northern Tayto is the true Tayto (obviously he couldn't be more wrong), I don't think it's a Catholic/Protestant thing but a North/South thing.

Tayto in the south was founded first and literally invented flavoured potato chips so they're the original and best.

I've never tasted Nordy Taytos so can't comment on taste but seeing as they licenced the production techniques from Southern Tayto back in the 50s I feel like they can't be a million miles away. Next time I'm up north I'll make it my business to try some.

Someone mentioned earlier re non- NI/Irish folk not getting local quirks and the Tayto’s is definately an example!

I didn’t expect it to be such a big thing when I asked what the significance was 😳😱🤣

What else have I missed…?

PS I’m in London, is there anywhere that I can get Tayto’s?

Try Tesco world food aisle. I occasionally get cheese and onion Taytos, and other things, from there.

What area of London, @BananaBlue ?

Irish Tayto are better than NI Tayto.

But King crisps or Hunky Dorys are better again.

DH is Catholic and insists Northern Tayto is the true Tayto (obviously he couldn't be more wrong), I don't think it's a Catholic/Protestant thing but a North/South thing.
You're right it isn't a Catholic/Protestant thing definitely a North/South thing.
South of the border Tayto win IMO. 😅

I'd forgotten about Kings. I've just looked them up and remember the old packaging. Nostalgia!

But isn't it nice that the strange folk up here (I'm in the island's newest city) can find something to agree on - even if they're wrong

I think on the last episode props also need to go to Siobhan McSereney in the scene she looks in the classroom and is clearly devastated at her impending removal.

if anyone hasn’t watched it, the Derry Girls Bake Off is TV gold, absolutely hysterical and shows the amazing rapport of the cast.

@PlasticineMeg
Whoa I didn't know about that !!
I know what I'm watching later thanks

Oh you're in for a treat. It's one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

the subtitler needs to go on cultural sensitivity training! Poor Michelle, her vulgarity needs true representation

Gosh that was poorly done!

I wasn’t watching with subtitles, and her meaning was perfectly clear. What made the subtitler so prim? (Assuming the photo does show what appeared on the screen?)

😂

I love that they’ve managed to translate it to something so totally innocent/cute that still sounds the same.
