Product Information

Popular local crisps Banshee Bones are also made by Tayto. Their shapes are reflective of bones, giving it a unique appearance and living true to the Banshee omen. They may be known as chips or potato chips in other countries, but to us Irish folk, they will always be known as crisps. Today, Tayto can be found in all parts of the world, generally for a high price considering they are imported and are classed as a luxury food item. Tasting notes: smoky, bacon, moreish 3.

Mr Nordie Tayto’,” James explains. “Coincidentally, around the same time I was finishing up the artwork, there was a news story that broke out of Co.
