Behold – The best pub crisps in The World

After searching long and hard for all of my adult life last night I came across (not literally I hasten to add) these in The Belmont Bull.

Pack size – 40 g
Price – 75 p
Crunchiness – 10
Moisture* – 5
Presentation – Nothing flashy

* Moisture is important in a good pub crisp. Some crumble to dust, whilst others are almost soggy with grease.

Two crisp threads in one morning. All we need now is a ‘KP or supermarket own brand dry roasted peanuts’ thread and the world will be complete.

“Lancashire”

They’ll be crap. Now if they had Yorkshire on….

You kept those to your bloody self!

Was this why you went to retired to sit by the fire? Despite the fact that it was a warm summer evening, and everyone else was sweating like Eric Pickles in a pie shop?

Nice packaging admittedly

Lancashire fiddler’s crisps? Is this some sort of elaborate Cyril Smith joke?

OP, those are good, but you want the Lancashire sauce variety FTW:

A poor imitation of these, frankly.

A poor imitation of these, frankly.

I find the Yorkshire ones to have a slightly bitter note…

Ooooh, I had the black pudding and mustard ones yesterday – tasty indeed

Away wi yi ya soft southern chancers 😀

Pork scratchings

Crunchiness – 10
Moisture* – 5

Ermmm!

Ooh now, them mackie’s ones. Are they widely available north of the border? I fancy trying some of them, would go down nice with a macaroni pie.

Soft?? They’re from Marks & Spencer!

Fasthaggis, so wish I’d bought those when I saw them instead of their nasty mature cheddar & onion (I was scared, ok?), which disappointed no end, just plain awful… which was annoying as Mackie’s were becoming my crisp of choice.

and for dazh… nothing surpassed KP’s special edition

Really nothing.. man their joyous

I have given up on crisps for pub based post/mid ride refueling.
May I present spicy broken pretzel bits

Cheese and onion. Most beholden? Am personally ashamed to admit:

Dobbo – wtf, in the middle of a Northern crisp debate, you pop up with some shandy drinking, carrot munching, pathetic excuse for crisps. Are they from Essex?

Hendos for the win…

Yorkshire
Yorkshire
Yorkshire….

Lol, I kind of missed the Northern bit although i do buy mine from Booths!

To be honest I’m not a big fan of these posh artisan crisps. Always found them rather tasteless, which isn’t a surprise seeing as they’re a deep fried sliver of (probably organic) potato with a tiny amount of salt and flavouring added (and WTF is ‘cracked pepper’?) I’d much rather eat a deep fried corn puff infused with MSG and E numbers.

And while we’re on the subject of regional crisp brands, there was none of this cracked pepper nonsense up in Newcastle back in the day…..

z1ppy, with chocolate chunks? What is this abomination?!

Chilli nuts is what you need, if dry roasted simply won’t do!

yep chocolate chunks, and plain ones at that (which I’m not a fan of)… you HAVE to try them (admittedly difficult as their a special edition) as it just WORKS, dude there just soooooooo ****ing good 😈

You need to visit the Brewery Tap in Leeds. They make their own.

These are amazing. Shouldn’t work, but it does:

Brannigans Beef & Mustard FTW. Or possibly Ham & Pickle if you’re feeling all la-dee-dah.

These are the best one’s I’ve had:

in my local pub.
But, apparently they weren’t very popular so he stopped doing them. I reckon they weren’t popular because no one realised they could ask for sausage and mustard crisps, so no one ordered them….

Those vegetable Tyrrells are disgusting. Am still in mourning over the vending machine’s discontinuation of these:

tinribz – you’d never have believed the humble Mini Chedder could be improved on? Until you try those! And I also can’t believe someone would be so foolish as to sully this threads fine reputation with mention of that bastardisation of the word crisp – those Tyrrells abominations

Someone needs to have a think about just what it they’ve done. While eating pickled onion Monster Munch

Pickled Onion Monster Munch? I’d rather suck a tramp’s big toe.

Bah pretentious nonsense – Cracked pepper and origami flavour etc etc

Golden wonder salt and vinegar will do me fine in the boozer, cheese and onion, not ultra mature, cave aged 15 month county cheddar and smoked red onion or any of that crap – Just unidentified cheese and onion.

They’re crisps for christ sake, this is why we have to put up with burgers served on a sodding slate and twice fried potato chunks in a little galvanised bucket, 14 quid to you sir..For F sake.

Thin end of the wedge and the contributors to this thread are making it happen.

By vegetable, do you mean potato?

As an aside, as further demonstration of Scandinavia in general and Denmark in particular being miles ahead in development, you can buy pokes of fresh pork scratchings everywhere, even motorway services.

Back to the topic – I’m with Dunstick, Seabrooks FTW.

Pork scratchings

Quoted for stating the truth. Also cheese and onion Walkers. Perhaps pissy-smelling scampi fries, at a push.

Whatever happened to Claymore. The crisps of the clans! Great byline.

Last time I had some was at Shieldaig in the late 80’s.

oops double post.

I shall take this opportunity to say that Walkers crisps are rubbish.

By vegetable, do you mean potato?

Oh no – Its far worse than that

And Seabrook are the best crisps. In the pub. On a crisp butty. Anywhere….
