[Closed] 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?
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
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.

Away wi yi ya soft southern chancers
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
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.
Brannigans Beef & Mustard FTW. Or possibly Ham & Pickle if you're feeling all la-dee-dah.
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.

Those vegetable Tyrrells are disgusting
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 - [url= https://www.tyrrellscrisps.co.uk/vegetable/beetroot-parsnip-carrot-with-sea-salt ]Its far worse than that[/url]
And Seabrook are the best crisps. In the pub. On a crisp butty. Anywhere....

Highlander crisps are the same IMHO, bacon and brown sauce for the win.

Not anywhere I'm afraid. The best crisps I've ever eaten are the plain salted potato crisps available in large bags from French supermarkets. Can't remember the brand (not Lays BTW), but they're amazing, and best served inside a freshly baked baguette.
Nope - Seabrooks are over-oiled, blandly flavoured fall-apart nonsense. Packet of Aldi or Lidl plain crisps would beat them hands down.
'and WTF is 'cracked pepper'?'
Pieces of cracked peppercorns. Gives a fresher peppery kick than ground pepper. Ground pepper is for girls, or something.
The correct answer to the Best Pub Crisp In The World (BPCITW) is ( assuming you've had a few pints first, which would be proper...) the same as the one given to BDIAC (Best Do It All Camera) questions - ie 'whatever the f*** is available when the moment arrives!' Brand/flavour choice in slices of potato deep fried in oil clearly divides (and unites) people all over the UK, but I've never seen too many arguments when someone whips out a bag of crisps at the pub and opens them on the table. WoOOOSHH! Finger battles. All gone thanks. Any more? 😉
KILL THE HERETIC!!!!!!!

Ruffles? They're pish!
Seabrook's eh? See oil soaked soggy reference in my OP.
A poor crisp.
Can't believe no one's mentioned the fact they were only 75p!
One pound bloody ten in our pub for your bog standard mini cheddars, pork scratchings and the like!
South?
Is it that obvious?
Apparently we're all stockbrokers down here so can afford it.
I don't even own an Audi.
Behead those who insult Seabrook.
They're "more" than a "snack".
Malvern rider may be a hieratic but once beered up his truth is real.

Doh has it with this, even better in a piece with brown sauce.
