Please send the Green Cross Parcel o my great friend Joyce in Perth Australia. Even after 30 years in Australia she misses the Irish ‘stuff’. She is recovering from her breast cancer operation and is still in hospital after 5 weeks. She could do with a taste of home.

Thanks all

A Box Of The Snack They’re ALL Talking About

tayto

It’s the Lennon and McCartney of the confectionary/savoury counter.

An impossible meeting of flavours that may well change everything you thought you knew about your palette and what it can withstand.

Crisps contained within the chocolate itself.

Radical, simple and thinking so literally out of the box you might as well give up and start baking Guinness trifles or a make yourself a cup of Barry’s coffee.

We have a box of the Tayto cheese ‘n’ onion chocolate bars to give away in a sweet and, quite possibly savoury, competition.

Shamrock Crisp Winner

Keogh's Image 1Not her silly.

She’s a pot full of them.

The winner of yesterday’s competition and a hamper full of Keogh’s Shamrock Crisps and other stuff is long-time Broadsheet commenter/first time winner Clampers Outside, who wrote:

Please give the Keogh’s Shamrock Crisps Hamper to my Mom and Pop because of this….

‘Sham Around!’ (with apologies to House of Pain)

Yo Keogh!
Pack it up, pack it in
Open bag to begin
I came to win
Rattle tha’ potato skin
I won’t tear the pack up
Sure you’d better back up
Try and deny my Ma a win and Pop an’ crew will act up
Shamrock is the best stock… come on!
Come on, throw your hands up
If you’ve got the cream let it sour for the green
Ballinskelligs is the best, someone’s talking jest
Yo, I’ll bust a potatoe eye
And then I’ll take the pinks home
Eat it, dunk it
Chomps be munching
And I got more rhymes than there’s crips that are dunking
Kerry is tops
Sure ’nuff I got me Pops he’s nowhere near over the Hill
More spuds for Mom and Pops

[Chorus]

I came to get a Nom [2x]
So get your Keogh’s and munch a nom
Munch a nom [3x]
Nom up! Nom up! and munch down.

 

Fair play though, in fairness.

Do You Like These?

They’re frames.

Made from broken up skateboards.

Literally gnarly.

After graduating from Dublin Institute of Technology i spent one year working and living abroad in Vancouver, Canada. This experience coupled with a lack of employment opportunities in Ireland pushed me to set up Design Jazz. I like to work on design projects that result in a clever and useful outcome. Skate Frames  are picture frames made from used skateboards. Each frame is unique due to the scratches and knocks a skateboard takes in everyday use. I can make custom frames for images no larger than 17 x 17 inches.

 

We have one, yes ONE – Skate Frame to give away.
