IT MUST BE confusing for visitors when they arrive into Belfast or Dublin.

They pick up a packet of fabled Tayto and think that they’re tasting the real deal, the only version.

And so it was yesterday when @nate touched down

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

Finally, all those years of waiting to see what all the fuss was about… but it wasn’t to last long.

Dara Ó Briain was on hand to dampen the enthusiasm for a second

Trying to explain why there are two Taytos to outsiders isn’t the easiest task.

Not to fear though, Nate will get to taste both this week

Dara has form in explaining to his 2.44 million followers that there is a very big difference between the two Taytos

(That's Nordie Mr Tayto, of course, as opposed to the one with the Theme Park down South. I hear they never speak to each other any more)
