Emigrants vote Kerrygold and Tayto most longed-for foods ahead of stout and chocolate

Kerrygold and Tayto have fended off competition from stout, chocolate, and rashers to be voted the most longed-for foods in a survey of Irish emigrants.

The poll of 546 current and returned emigrants for Checkout magazine found that 46% “missed” their Kerrygold butter while living abroad, while 42% ached for Tayto.

The results were neck and neck in terms of the never-ending battle of the tea brands — both Barry’s and Lyons’ teas were missed by 40% of respondents.
