MOTD

[Ian.]

I have never seen this Tayto, I’ve googled it and it doesn’t look familiar at all. We’re rather slow in Devon and things do take a bit of time to get here.

When I first moved here my Saturday nights were ruined. We used to always get Fish and Chips from my nans chippy and a can of Vimto in Wolverhampton. We got down here and Vimto wasn’t a thing. Walkers also took many years to arrive here and wipe out Golden Wonder.

Late shout out here for Jacobs Crinkly Cheese and Onion Mini Cheddars.

Why are you bringing biscuits into the crisp chat?!

For those occasions when only the mild aroma of cheese mixed with flour will do the trick.

Have you tried the Red Leicester flavour Mini Chedders? They are incredibly moreish

There used to be an Irish section in Tesco West Brom. Not sure if it's still there, but that's where I'd get my soda bread, Taytos, tiffin, Club rock shandy etc.

[Simon Page]

The West Bromwich equivalent of the World Foods aisle.

Oh they had Polish, Indian, Nigerian, all packed. Then just me in the Irish section, picking up my fig rolls.

[Sexual Ealing]

I can't think of a more depressing thing on this Earth than the Irish section of West Browmwich Tesco.

[Rory]

I can't think of a more depressing thing on this Earth than the Irish section of West Browmwich Tesco.

How much of that is because you'd be likely to find me there?

That doesn't help, but I'd have taken the suicide option long before you show up at 3am.

Favourite every thread on my favourite subject.

I went to the shop looking for some crisps after a very heavy day drinking a couple of years ago and drunkenly spent £32 on loads of single packets of crisps. Mostly maize-based. Took the bag to bed with me and in the morning my wife asked me if I was mentally ill.

That's the second mention of tiffin in relation to Ireland in this thread and it's time to admit I've no idea what it is.

Surely you can get fig rolls anywhere? No need for the Irish food ghetto.

Fig rolls dominated the biscuit world of the 1970s. I was raised on them

Chocolate with biscuit and raisin. I'm not even sure it's Irish, I just know I find it tough to track down in the UK.

I just know I didn't see them for years, then suddenly they appeared in the Irish section at the aforementioned Tesco. A lot of people I know claimed that relative scarcity was down to them being disgusting, but I loved them.

It's one of those that's easier to make than find. We knew it as Kunzel cake, after one of those now-defunct northern manufacturers who did it.

Easily found in bakers, usually as Fridge Cake (usually sans raisins though)

Often confused with the far inferior Rocky Road.

It isn't Rory mate.  I used to have a Tiffin with a cup of coffee at work in the first job I ever had at age fifteen.  They were Cadbury's IIRC.  Really nice.
