I'm Irish, there still exists a lot of pride for potatoes here. I have a small allotment here as part of a communal garden and each spring there is probably more excitement about the potatoes crops than any other. People want to know what types you are planting, how early to put them down, tips for managing damage from a late frost etc. Not to mention it really is a productive crop and really can last all winter when stored correctly and you can be self sufficient for "spuds" from a relatively small sized plot.

You have a potato theme park don’t you?

It’s a potato crisp (US:chip) theme park.

Tayto was the first/one of to infuse the flavour into the crisp (US:chip). Before that there were little salt packets that you sprinkled. The guy who invented the process was nicknamed "Spud" Murphy.

Floury Irish potato varieties are among the best in the world. Once you taste them you can’t go back to waxy potatoes.
