Americans Try Tayto Crisps for the First Time - 10 Different Varieties

[@wildwine6400]

Prawn Cocktail usually confuses Americans, as they expect the prawn taste. The flavour is actually of the "Marie rose sauce" that you serve on a prawn cocktail, which is basically a mix of tomato sauce , mayo, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice and a pinch of cayenne. So a few sharp flavours in there, so prawn cocktail crisp are usually tangy

[@InconSteveHable]

I make my PC sauce with Ketchup, Mayo, Salt, Pepper and a kick of Jalapeno peppers, never seen the original recipe so nice to know I wasn't far from it lol.

[@Loulizabeth]

All I do is just mix Heinz tomato sauce and Heinz salad cream and leave it there. Why? Because that's what a Fish and Chip shop used to make their prawn cocktail sauce and they shared it with us. So been making it this way ever since. Will have to make the traditional recipe at some point.

[@reactingtomyroots]

Ah okay! That makes much more sense, and hence why it reminds us a bit of our barbecue flavor here.

[@offal]

I don`t normally go for PC i like skips but those have a good texture, but....those Mcoys PC are devine as i suprisingly found out once, when i was starving.

[@corringhamdepot4434]

I kind of find it odd that Americans have such an aversion to the taste of vinegar. It might be because the British have a long history of pickling just about every vegetable possible. While the American tradition is more for heat treating, and canning everything. 🤔 Even today, many people in the UK buy and pickle their own small silver skin onions.

[@catshez]

I think you might be right about that one 🤔 I have a real taste for vinegar , like they say in this video we all have the flavours we go for preference.. ...my dad was a fan too, but one which my French/ Italian mum does not have.. In France vinegar is obviously used for dressing, appears on the salad at just about every meal , very similar in Italy, but mum and I have a difference in taste as to how much vinegar to put in the dressing 😂 Interestingly my mum's sister is the same as me, as a couple of my cousins... my mum's eyes water at the thought of how much vinegar we all use 🤣 French people don't usually put vinegar on chips or crisps either! (Except my Aunt and Cousins lol) People in Northern and Eastern Europe must have developed a taste for it over the millennia in the ways as you have said.. pickled cabbage, onions, cucumber, beetroot.. mmmmmm yum ! Definitely a flavour taste thing because I hate corn syrup and anything made with it. I can't eat US choc , sweets or drink the soda, I like sugar cane and sugar beet !

[@101steel4]

Especially as they love pickled cucumber so much.

[@catshez]

[@catshez]

@@grrrrbabyverygrrr8165 Yeh ! I think it is safe to say that any countries and continents who have spent hundreds and even thousands of years trying to make alcohol have a taste for vinegar. 😋🤣After all that is where our English word comes from, the French vin aigre, sour wine

Tayto N.Ireland was founded in 1956 in Tandragee, County Armagh and operates as a separate company from Tayto Republic of Ireland which was formed in 1954. They have a similar range of products. One of the biggest differences is in the packaging - in N.Ireland the legendary cheese & onion crips come in a bright yellow packet whereas the ROI version is red & blue. Fun facts : the N.Ireland Tayto factory is actually inside Tandragee Castle which is over 500 years old. Also Tandragee, when translated from the Irish, means "backside to the wind"

To be quite honest, with some prawn cocktail crisps you do sometimes get abit of a fishy after taste, especially with Walkers

[@conwaynoel3715]

Tayto NI was founded by the Hutchinson family in 1956. The Tayto name and logo is used under a licencing agreement with Tayto in the Rep of Ireland. The companies sell similar products but are two different entities . The founder of Tayto was a man named Joe "spud" Murphy who first produced the crisps from a small plant in Moore Street in Dublin in 1954.

I am highly allergic to shellfish but I can eat prawn cocktail flavour crisps because there are no prawns in them at all. LOL.

In the UK, "Spicy" doesn't always mean hot spices (due to US influence it is increasingly used that way though) and often refers to a combination of multiple mild aromatic spices, sometimes including chilis but not as the dominant flavour/sensation.

[@stormandfury998]

Exactly, they usually add the words "FLAMIN' HOT" to the packaging of products that are very hot.

[@reactingtomyroots]

My favourite crisps are Pipers, the business started when 3 farmers in North Lincolnshire got together, they use really flavoursome, quality potatoes & , to me, you can tell ! I first tried them when I had to travel by train backwards and forwards Newcastle to London for a number of years when I'd had 6 ops on my ankle/s &, feeling sorry for myself & partly out of needing extra space, I travelled 1st class where all food and drinks were free ...I was hooked from then on , didn't realise they'd been in business less than 5 or 6 years then &, consequently, their crisps were hard to find, now though, Sainsbury's and Waitrose sell them...they are THE best mmh !

[@LaPOLEA]

We love our vinegar here in England we pickle alot of our food so that's probably why , and salt and vinegar with fish and chips is the best. With the prawn cocktail crips it's the cocktail sauce your tasting not the prawns hence the name , it's called Marie Rose sauce and is delicious, again we love those sorts of things , we also have tartar sauce and fresh lemon juice with fish and chips , I suppose its what your use to and what your pallets are use to .

[@susanashcroft2674]

Thanks that was interesting to watch. I think you hit the nail on the head when you mentioned taste profiles and what we are used to eating and in a way what you were showing us in your preference/leaning towards for cheese and onion and sour cream and reaction to some of the different textures proved this. With the vast range of flavours of crisps available here IMO cheese and onion while popular is somewhat muted compared to other flavours we have.

[@dianeknight4839]

I have come to the conclusion that Americans have a very bland food palate. My favourite are Walkers plain crisps, but I do quite like Walkers Sensations Sweet Chilli. Prawns are what Americans call Shrimp. however the crisps are Prawn Cocktail which is a whole different ball game. A prawn Cocktail is made with shredded lettuce, finely diced tomato and sometimes what you call English Cucumber, topped with cooked peeled prawns and a Marie Rose sauce.

[@DavidRichards-z2k]

I didn’t realise that Tayto did so many flavours. Crisp Butties big here in the UK, but not for me, it’s like biting into a lovely soft sandwich to find it full of eggshells! Great to see the product names the correct way around 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

A tayto cheese and onion crisp sambo is also hugely popular here in Ireland ❤ you could possibly say it's a national dish/snack

[@AlainnCorcaigh]

[@zaphodbeeblebrox6627]

Hi Guys, just a quick piece of info for all your American viewers. ‘Prawn cocktail’ crisps or any other snack come to that does not contain ANY seafood (Prawns/Shrimp etc). The flavor refers to the sauce that’s used for a Shrimp cocktail ( as you would call it) which is basically Mayo mixed with Tomato ketchup & may have a hint of lemon and cayenne, that’s why they are marketed as suitable for vegetarians

[@reactingtomyroots]

Thanks for the explanation! :)

When my friend came over from Spain for a holiday, we had fish and chips. He was uncertain about Vinegar on the fish, but I insisted he try. A few days later, he asked if we could have fish and chips again, and really surprised me when he asked the server to add more Vinegar. I do not like Prawn Cocktail flavour either.

[@andrewmoore5628]

Yes, it's all about what your used to, what you had whilst growing up, I idea is to try other cuisines.

[@Paul-hl8yg]

Its personal taste. I cannot stand anything pickled or vinegar on my fish n chips. Someone else would love pickled anything & like vinegar on their chippy tea. 🇬🇧

[@andybaker2456]

Just as a point of interest, you might notice people in the comments referring to plain crisps as "ready salted". This term came about to differentiate them from "Salt 'n' Shake" crisps that are made by Smiths, where the salt comes separately in a little blue packet and you add as little or as much salt to the plain crisps as you want (or none at all, if that's what you're in to!). You then shake the bag to distribute the salt around the crisps. "Ready salted" crisps have the salt already added.

[@LaPOLEA]

Yes love them, I was going to get them the other day but got pawn cocktail instead, I will definitely get some next time , they bring back memories of when I was little.

[@reactingtomyroots]

Oh that's very interesting! Don't know that I've ever seen chips here that come with a packet to salt them yourself. Cool concept

[@andrewcoates6641]

@@reactingtomyroots The separate bag of salt is a very old concept here in the UK. In fact the earliest types of salt them yourself crisps had the salt in a small twist of blue paper instead of a sealed paper bag, consequently many times the salt was already loose inside the main bag of crisps. The crisps were always available as unsalted or plain, then they started to sell them as ready salted followed by cheese and onion and only later did the makers add the little twist of salt. The reason for the cheese and onion flavour choice is down to the British pub culture, because originally the only locations that most crisps were easily available from were the public bars , which started putting out bowls of salty snacks to encourage people to drink. The patrons would purchase a bag of crisps but would crave more flavour and since the only other foods that were available were things like pickled onions and eggs and sometimes an odd cheese sandwich, the customers would take a small pickled onion or a piece of cheese and slide it still covered in the pickling vinegar into their bags of plain crisps then close the neck of the bag as tightly as possible, then proceed to partly crush some of the contents to obtain sharp flakes of the crisps that would pierce the skin of the onion releasing more of the taste into the crisps, making them stronger tasting and the same kind of result was achieved with the crisps getting stuck in the cheese giving it a different texture. Modern day flavours have expanded into many other dishes from many global flavour profiles.

Which I always grap a bag as a treat if I see them. Same with Cadburys chocolate made in Republic of Ireland is far better than the Cadburys chocolate made in England . It's hard to believe on till you taste test them side by side. Ps just googled it cadburys in Dublin still make the chocolate the original way as the cadburys in Birmingham UK changed the recipe when they where taken over.

the ridge cut (or ripple cut ) are supposed to hold more flavour as they have a larger surface area, a lot of the healthy substitutes to crisps are baked rather than fried and use other staples- eg the maize or lentil rather than a fried potato. you can also get crisps that are air fried that contain less fat too.

To place yourself on a higher platform than others and claim to be a better Mother...? Well there you go, I've acknowledged that fragile ego of yours. I take it you're NOT a speech and language therapist? No, didn't think so. Teaching a child about different foods is essential so they learn to swallow safely...an essential skill in learning to speak so they don't aspirate. Skips are a perfect example of a food that changes texture in the mouth, and so are perfect to teach the child to learn to control their chew and swallow rate. Banana and avocado are not. Sorry to burst your inflated opinion of yourself as Mother Theresa, but there you go. There is more to teaching children about food and associated pleasure than serving up boredom on a plate. A little of everything in moderation is how to raise mentally and physically healthy children, and a packet of Skips every so often is absolutely NOT going to make anyone obese! There is far more to teaching children about food than making sure they get certain nutrients, too much of ANY food is bad for you. Obesity comes mainly from children playing with gadgets these days, rather than whole neighbourhoods of kids running round outside, riding their bikes or skipping like they used to! Food is not an enemy, it is fuel for the body, and as long as you burn that fuel, then you won't get fat! One of the main causes of childhood obesity is the parent's unstable relationship to food. "Sweet" foods being withheld until whole meals are eaten first, or given as a reward for good behaviour. Whilst we think it is the best way to bribe them to finish their main meal, it creates a reward association with food, they are being taught they get certain foods when they've "done well" and oops there's a comfort eater in the making! Only feeding super foods like you've kindly shared with the group that you do, your Highness, teaches children an association between food and guilt. So when your little cherubs seem to spend a long time throwing up after meals, or so thin and frail their heart gives out, then you can give yourself a big pat on the shoulder for creating an eating disorder! 😁 I think your New Year resolution should be working on that good old fashioned saying, "if you don't have anything nice to say, then kindly shut the fuck up, alright?" Yes I ad-libbed the last part to give the sentence more weight! It's an obese version of the saying, you could say...? Actually I think it would be better if you didn't say....anything at all!

[@EmilyGilbeywilbey]

Well, we do. Lots of people say plain crisps. Only posh people call them ready salted! 😂 Jk but I call them plain and I'm quite posh.

[@asseyez-vous6492]

Nah, it’s plain. You’d get beaten up around here if you said ready salted 😂

[@faithpearlgenied-a5517]

Almost everyone I know calls them plain crisps. Hardly ever hear ready salted, that's what 'posh' people say. Must be a regional thing. Don't assume the whole country is the same as where you're from 😊

[@siloPIRATE]

@@EmilyGilbeywilbeyI call them Ready Salted because that’s what Walkers call them. They are also the flavour I avoid

[@nintendoswitchbrit4201]

@@faithpearlgenied-a5517 That's literally what they are called on the bag I'm not being posh (I'm from Grimsby) you are just using the American term for them

I loooove salt and vinegar crisps. They are the ones I buy mainly, even with Pringles. I do love salt and vinegar on chips.

Steve, May I say that I much prefer the flat cap (that you received from a viewer) than the baseball cap. The flat cap suits you, I hope you continue to wear it. Happy New Year from Annie in Australia.

[@brenda6607]

That was brave guys! I used to eat some of those flavours when I was younger but now just the smell puts me off! Just ready salted for me now! these tastings are fun keep them up, x

Hey Steve I'm the same as you with cheese only on pizza and stuff not on it's own. Great vid love it.

[@clarestewart877]

Loving the flat cap Steve.

[@germulqueen3002]

As an Irish person; I was interested to hear your opinion on those snacks & in PARTICULAR, the "Tayto" branded crisps. It probably won't surprise you to learn that the "Cheese & Onion" flavoured crisps are a BIG seller, here & will often be found accompanying a toasted sandwich in bars & restaurants/diners in Ireland. We have also been known to make a Tayto sandwich & so popular is that idea, that some restaurants/diners in Dublin, sell pre-packwd Tayto sandwiches! Now; to settle something you were curious about: Prawn Cocktail flavour is EXACTLY the SAME as shrimp: in FACT, what you know as shrimp, we refer to them as prawns. Anyway; Happy New Year to you & your family!! 👍🙂🎉🎉🥂🍾🇮🇪❤🇺🇸

[@stevenbird4877]

Got to say Stevie you look fantastic in that cap😊😊🇬🇧

[@flo6956]

There is no prawn in prawn cocktail, it is the marie rose sauce that we put on prawns (shrimps). Our version of barbecue is barbecue, which is a bit different to Lays barbecue. Lays seem to put so much coloured flavouring on the crisps they go very orange.

[@jackiea8394]

I’m loving these tasting videos. You are both very entertaining the way you throw yourselves into trying the different flavours! When I was younger I loved the prawn cocktail variety but find them too sweet today. Sour cream and chives are my go to crisps now.

Walkers crisps are the #1 brand in the UK owned by lays bought from standard brands in 1989 of whom originally bought it from the walker family in 1970 Tayo was established in 1954 by joe murphy The most popular walkers flavours are: 1) cheese and onion 2) salt and vinegar 3) ready salted 4) monster munch roast beef 5) prawn cocktail ( This list is for the south east but is similar and subject to change with time and location) Just an added note is the walkers sensation range is rapidly climbing up the rankings

[@offal]

Skips used to be made by KP snacks, a lot of the crisp brands were bought up by Walkers a few years ago, wotsits, smiths salt and shake etc

[@angelacrawford3178]

In northern ireland we have a crusty bap called a belfast bap and a big favourite is belfast bap butter and tayto cheese & onion crisps delicious .we also have a Tayto factory in Northern ireland

[@Jeni10]

Yay! You managed to fix the camera setup!

[@DylRicho]

15:44 Prawn cocktail is more of a seafood sauce flavour than the flavour of the seafood itself. A lot of British crisps, especially from Walkers are based on flavours of sauces.

[@traceymarshall5886]

My favourite is King Cheese and Onion (which is made by Tayto Crisps)

[@Irish780]

I not sure king is made by tayto really

[@traceymarshall5886]

Take a bag of plain crisps, pour Worcestershire sauce into the packet and give it a shake. Tastes good

@Steve Tayto are two separate companies, one is in Ireland, the other is in Northern Ireland and is the UKs 3rd biggest crisp and snack manufacturer and also owns Golden Wonder. There has always been a debate which makes the nicer crisps especially the cheese n onion flavour

[@ElizabethDebbie24]

HI GUYS DEBRA HERE FROM SOUTH WALES UK The prawn cocktail flavour crisps are mainly flavoured by the marie rose sauce not the actual prawns themselves. MARIE ROSE SAUCE INGREDIENTS 200ml mayonnaise 2-3 tbsp tomato ketchup ½ tsp hot sauce ¼ tsp Worcestershire sauce ¼-½ tsp lemon, juiced pinch of cayenne pepper, to serve We then pour this over a bowl of lettuce tomatoes cucumber and prawns (shrimp). What we in the UK call PLAIN crisps are called READY SALTED so they are only flavoured by salt and no other flavouring. My own personal favourite flavour of crisps is salt and vinegar. We also have barbeque fjavour crisps are well mainly barbecomue beef flavour If you want to try really plain crisps with no actual flavour on them you should try SMITHS SALT AND SHAKE as with these crisps you get a little blue sachet of salt to add to the crisps yourself as the crisps are just unflavoured fried potatoes. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO STEVE LIBDSAY AND SOPHIA

[@britbazza3568]

Hi Steve & Lindsay. Salt and vinegar on fish n chips is the traditional condiment used in the UK and it's is simply devine. This is why we use it on crisp flavours too. Personally the flavours I like on crisps is prawn cocktail sour cream and onion cheese and onion. The reason prawn cocktail is popular here possibly had something to do with the fact we are an island and surrounded by seas so sea food is big in the uk A while ago there used to be Worcestershire sauce flavoured crisps in UK they were really zingy and a great flavour but I haven't seen them for a while I kinda miss them

[@vallejomach6721]

It's not actually vinegar though. If you have some at home then it'll be almost certainly malt vinegar...but in chip shops it will be what's called 'non-brewed condiment' - which is basically water + acetic acid + flavourings and colourings. That's why it's not quite the same when you have it on chips at home compared to from a chippy.

[@britbazza3568]

@@vallejomach6721 that depends on the chippy you go too if you go to an independent then they want repeat custom so tend to cater for the taste of the genuine article. It's the chains that don't care about retaining the same customers. Or the chippy's in city centres away from the coast. I've always lived near the coast so end to be a bit fussy

[@EmilyCheetham]

Prawn cocktail doe NOT have any prawn in it. It is the sauce used for a prawn cocktail.

Skips are really good, you can get other flavours too, i love how they dissolve in your mouth. 😂

[@badpinktink100]

Just so you know, we dont really have plain crisps in Ireland. Cheese and Onion Tayto are the basic standard crisps, with Salt and Vinegar being the second standard. When people say they like crisps, or are having a packet of crisps, they more than likely are talking about cheese and onion Tayto. We have Doritos Cool Original, buts thats not really that popular, its more a specialty or novelty brand. Something thats very popular as a lunch snack is a crisp sandwich. 2 slices of white bread, salted butter (Kerrygold) and a bag of cheese and onion Tayto as the filling. In supermarkets you can get a 6 pack of either cheese and onion Tayto, salt and vinegar Tayto or mixed. These are popular with families and many people, both children and adults have a packet of crisps for lunch. Pubs also sell crisps so its very normal when out for a drink that people will have a packet of either cheese and onion Tayto or salt and vinegar Tayto with a round of drinks.

[@tamielizabethallaway2413]

Good morning my favourite KZbin family! ❤ My favourite crisps are not "crisps" ... I prefer "snacks" (maize and corn) to "crisps" (potato) I love... Prawn cocktail Skips (other flavours available) Beef Hula Hoops Cheesy Wotsits (I think they're like your Cheetos) No, prawn cocktail flavour tastes NOTHING like prawn cocktail. Prawns are basically slightly meatier shrimps, but less concentrated "fishy" flavour and smell to them. Prawn Cocktail is a starter course (I think you call it an entrée???) It is generally served in a stemmed glass sundae dish stood on a tea plate. (Side plate not dinner plate) It has a base bed of lettuce, usually round leaves or shredded iceberg lettuce, covered in cooked cold prawns, topped with Marie Rose sauce that is lightly sprinkled with paprika and served with a wedge of lemon on top. Usually accompanied by a buttered slice of bread with the crusts cut off, cut into 4 triangles, sitting on the edge of the plate. Marie Rose sauce is what prawn cocktail flavouring tastes most like...vinegary, tomatoey and sweet. Marie Rose sauce is similar to a seafood sauce (mayonnaise mixed with tomato sauce) and is pale pink in colour. Basically it was the height of fashion during '70's & '80's dinner parties and considered a posh choice back then 😂. It became popular for that reason and so the flavour became a crisps flavour too. But like I said, the flavour mostly resembles the sauce itself rather than the actual prawn cocktail. Lindsay said she thought it was sweet and vinegary, and she's right!.... but missed the tomato. 😊 Yes we use malt vinegar on our fish and chips...top tip, if you buy fish and chips here, make sure to tell them not to add salt and vinegar if you don't want it, as it's usually added without thinking!!! I personally choose battered Cod because it's thick and meaty and the flakes just fall apart in your mouth....rather than haddock, hake, or plaice. But to be fair I like them all. It's not greasy, it's more steamed inside, because the oil is so hot it sears the batter instantly into a crispy coating, which prevents the oil oozing into the fish inside. Remember I mentioned Hastings the other day...? 2 videos ago I believe...? Well beneath the cliff that the castle, 1066 story and smugglers caves are on, sits Hastings Old Town fishing village and it doesn't get any fresher than THAT! Out the sea and served within hours. Yum! I love shellfish too, prawns, shrimps, fresh crab, cockles, winkles, mussels, lobster....and I love anchovies too! hmm hmm! 😁 Love to you 3! 😘😘😘 xxxxx

I use to like prawn cocktail but as i have grown older, i have a craving for Salt and Vinegar and Ready salted. Skips takes me way back to my childhood in the early 90s.

[@karenwilkes2220]

Hi guys, they don't do plain. You can find walkers ready salted in Ireland, but Tayto don"t. I would say the Cheese & Onion, Smokey Bacon, Prawn cocktail packets are the original Tayto, the others are a take on UK crisps. The way you guys have American Cadbury.

[@colinmorrison5119]

The nearest there is, is Ready Salted in the NI Tayto range. It's not popular, and doesn't feature in the big multipack variety bags.
