She's got good taste.
British TV chef Nigella Lawson was in Dublin this week and gave her seal of approval to the nation's most iconic snack... Tayto crisps.
Nigella, 58, was taking part in a live talk with food writer Niamh Shields at the National Concert Hall when she tried a bag of salt and vinegar Taytos during the interval.

She took to Twitter to praise it as an "important interval snack".
After a follower told her to try the cheese and onion flavour, Nigella replied less than ten minutes later saying she agreed it was tastier.

Mr Tayto himself was buzzing at the endorsement.

Unsurprisingly, Nigella isn't the first international celebrity to come out as a Tayto devotee...
