Life Imitaytos Art

Image of a crisp sandwich café in The Ulster Fry

Newstalk reports:

“The first ever crisp sandwich cafe has opened its doors in Belfast.The cafe came about after a website, UlsterFry.com, did a mock article about one such cafe. They were then approached by an owner wanting to start one…They offer Tayto, Walkers and even Monster Munch for your sandwich. Andrew McMenamin is now the owner of the Simply Crispy Cafe, located at 8 Bedford Street in the city.”

This, along with the constant racial attacks on foreign folk, has solidified my opinion on Northern Ireland. Oh, and the flegs. Lets not forget those.

Foreign folk have been attacked and left blind or crippled in the Republic.

Monster Munch on ormo. Jaysus.

Maybe just go into spar and get a half pan and some taytos?

50p to cut off your crusts?!?

Mikeyfex January 12, 2015 at 11:31 am

Absolutely ridiculous.

I had the same general problem with the hipsterised cereal cafe in London but then I thought look, there’s no point crying over spelt milk.

4 pounds for something that requires no skill or creativity to put together, inexpensive ingredients, and that’s the “special”? Absolutely taking the piss

Custo January 12, 2015 at 12:02 pm

Eh, that’s the photoshopped photo from the original joke article.

You’d have to go through 9 months training on JobBridge to make one of those sandwiches if they opened in the South, donchaknow

Bertie Blenkinsop January 12, 2015 at 11:39 am

How come the prices up top are in dollars?

I smell photoshop.

  How’s the tinfoil hat for keeping out the cold, you loon. :-)
  1. Bertie Blenkinsop January 12, 2015 at 11:45 am
    
    Take a lot of tinfoil for a mallethead like mine!

Tayto crisps snuggled into a butter slathered duvet of Brennans thick white bread. Slightly squashed to seal into place.
All washed down with mug of favorite brown beverage.

Rainy Saturday afternoon watching old WWII movie bliss.

andyourpointiswhatexactly January 12, 2015 at 12:15 pm

I like to mash the bejaysus out of the Taytos in the pack before I add them to the sanger, so they get kind of embedded into the butter.
1. Dubloony January 12, 2015 at 12:37 pm
  
  But you have to leave a little crunch in there.
  1. andyourpointiswhatexactly January 12, 2015 at 12:41 pm
    
    Good point. I’ll take a few big uns out before I mash them next time to see how that goes.

James M.Chimney January 12, 2015 at 12:33 pm

Ham, King and Mayo on white bread.

You can keep yer Kale, crap in mason jars, kimchi, artisan popcorn and all that crap. Just give me hamkingmayo.

Dubloony January 12, 2015 at 12:38 pm

Ham? Mayo? on a crisp sambo, I guess I’m a purist about these things.
scottser January 12, 2015 at 2:20 pm

Mush up the tayto in the bag and add a dollop o brown sauce. Spoon the contents onto a cheese sanger on batch. Serve with tay.

  I never knew such variations were possibly. My culinary eyes have been opened.

15 cents January 12, 2015 at 12:43 pm

50p to have the crust cut off? fups.

Murtles January 12, 2015 at 12:46 pm

Monster Munch sandwich? Sounds absolutley disgusting.
I want one immediately!

GiGi January 12, 2015 at 12:51 pm

Hubby swears by White pan, Walkers cheese and onion (not Tayto he says too strong a bang if the cheese and onion afterwards) and ketchup. I’m a SaltnVinegar Hunky Dory on granary with mayo myself.

Soundings January 12, 2015 at 12:53 pm

Low-fat mayo hopefully
The Old Boy January 12, 2015 at 3:02 pm

Walkers how are ye. Sure he might as well take a slash on De Valera’s grave, so he should.

Lenny Zero January 12, 2015 at 2:26 pm

Peanut butter(crunchy) + Strawberry Jam + Crisp of choice = Heaven.

Dubloony January 12, 2015 at 3:09 pm

Interesting mix of sweet ‘n savory there.

Ciarán January 12, 2015 at 7:52 pm

You’re all sickos.
Disgusting.

Niallo January 12, 2015 at 8:19 pm

Ok, on the subject of sweet and savoury i’ll see your peanut butter and strawberry jam and raise you.
butter, strawberry jam and ardennes pate on batch loaf.
I’ll just let that sink in…
