Phil McCraken, a craick journalist with the Circa, found and then hired Tayto et Tayto to rescue his country, a land that has been captured by madness. Tayto find Eireland in their taytopedia, and sound discover that it is a home to potatoes, potatoes crying out to be sautéed with marjoram, shallot, ham fat and bathed in a drop of mountain olive oil from the Cailletier of Sospel (Nice A.O.C.) combined with Barolo and Xérès vinegars. Cruising at speed of 520 mph and an altitude of 51,000 ft, Tayto enjoys the fact his tripe is the swimming bladder of the salted cod. It is used to thicken the stockfish when cooked in the Monegasque style. It is cooked alone in the particular recipe Tayto enjoys on this research flights, in a tomato stew with red and yellow peppers, seasoned with Espelette pimento and mixed with Niçois sausage. Three thick slices of poached cod are placed on the top. This dish is very smooth and creamy. Served with crispy lettuce, coated with lemon-flavored cream and well-seasoned with pepper. Stockfish is the name of the cod or haddock caught and dried on the Lofoten Islands (Norway). The Perugina is a round peppery sausage that comes from the area around Perugia in Umbria (Italy); many people in Nice originate from this town. The cod is caught with a rod, the old-fashioned way, by fishermen from the Faeroe Islands off Denmark. Meanwhile, on takeoff, Tayto quickly goes into a state of paralytic comatose. With Tayto paralysed, it is up to Tayto to eat up and wake up Tayto. However, Tayto comes round, and soon they are in control of the plane after terrorists depressurise the cabin and are blown out into the sky. Unfortunately Tayto was temporarily blinded by hunger, and it is down to Tayto to land the midsize LearJet 60. From the leather windows of the midsize LearJet 60 Tayto eventually comfortably observes Eireish piling high on to boats bound for Eastern Europe.

Disguised as part of a rampaging biker gang transporting a harvest of melons to market after a land-hungry bigot refuses to let the lorries through a checkpoint, Tayto et Tayto are in Eireland for nearly three hours to research with cooperatives of local primitives and paramilitaries, to properly educate them about the upheavals now swirling around the knowledge systems that previously where in place. Tayto aim to open up spaces that they could all march through together and investigate. Interrelationships between individuals, projects, John Dory or dentex caught between Cannes and San Remo, ideas and material of all kinds would be worked on in an experimental mode. Tayto had brought with them the model of Louis XV, a local restaurant that makes wonderful use of the produce associated with it – starfruits, chilli chocolate, iodine rich rock fish – donating its profits to the Monte Carlo Croupier and Straight Cops Foundation, a group dedicated to discovering renegade SWAT teams turned bad. From the mountains to the sea – the colourful dishes reflect local flavours which are basic and strong, sometimes to the point of stupidity, but also sweet tastes, sun drenched, heavy and rich, smelling of the earth. Tayto hope that this would cause the locals to put down their sacred balaclava headwear and petrol bombs and find something meaningful to fight each other about. Crazy slack-jawed local peasants have a different idea however, and suggest that Tayto make three Michelin star cuisine with from stale soda bread, chicken dippers and old tatties, an idea that make Tayto want to puke up their guts.

Tayto slowly explain that sustainable traditional pasta should be made with zucchini, artichoke, coco beans, chanterelle and cooked like a risotto with a poultry stock put from time to time until the dish is cooked. At the end the pasta should be thickened with Fiore Sardo cheese, zucchini, basil and raw scallion, with a garnish of curled Fiore Sardo, an ancestral ewe cheese produced by the shepherdess in the hinterland of Sardenia. Following Tayto’s counsel, the participants democratically decide to work together at non-academic knowledge production by verbally abusing each others families as a catalyst for an interminably long Ideas Conflict Lab for Thinking and Doing (IdCLTD). Tayto suggest that the menu should be a veritable symphony of tastes, composed and conducted by the seasons and including a number of themes: the vegetable garden, the Diaspora, the farm, migration, the pasture, tastes of exile, etc. The IdCLD take this idea to ludicrous totalitarian extremes, and Tayto soon have to rescue a girl from the crazed cult, but are then promptly captured by the IdCLD. Now Tayto are released so that they can be hunted down and killed.

Hiding out in the killing fields, Tayto hears of a prison where the warden conducts illegal fight-to-the-death boxing matches between political prisoners and then releases the political prisoner who wins. However, the winner is then hunted down and killed. Tayto goes undercover (i.e. he gets arrested for killing a man of the cloth) and infiltrates the prison. Tayto (playing an angry mute) gets himself involved in a boxing match while Tayto camps it up as a hairdresser. The other prisoners could see that through such self-organisation, they would have good reason to compete against each other for management positions in a similarly well funded enterprise, and continue to threaten and maim each other. Developing different project threads combining tradition, development and modernity, they too could collect the resulting material in boxes and receive LearJet Aid from Norway. Eventually Tayto escape in a classic Taytological dialogue, aided by Tayto in a crop-dusting plane! And all this while being pursued by the IdCLTD... Tayto et Tayto repack their condiments, and move on in multiple directions, to meet somewhere again.
