[Closed] The burning Tuesday Question: Whats the bestest crisps/savoury pub snacks....

Good old Salted Peanuts IMHO...

Best thing ever.

Brannigns roast beef and mustard, although not as readily available as they used to be!

Nice 'n' Spicy Nik Naks ... 😀

Homemade scotch eggs.

Or homemade sausage rolls.

Tipton tapas AKA pork scratchings.

In descending order of aceness:

Pickled Eggs
Pork Scratchings
Salted Peanuts
Mini cheddars

then just crisps of whatever flavour

[b]OMG[/b] I [i]need[/i] to find a retail outlet that stocks those naan chips ASAP!

I've never eaten pickled eggs.

Peanuts FTW.

Your [b]nom[/b]inations please.....

Kurkure - the ones in the green packet (unless you prefer inferno hot, in which case, the ones in the red packet)

These provide a burning answer to your question

I'm half torn between dry roasted peanuts or a good Bombay mix. Some of the more budget Bombay mixes tend to miss out on flavours and spices though.

Crisps are just a bit too ordinary and don't tempt me that much.

We normally go pick n mix at the end of the night - just ask the bar man to grab a load of random snacks and flavours. There is a great pub in Knaresborough that does stuff like Pickled Onion Monster Munch and Discos too.

Brannigns roast beef and mustard

It's got to be either -

Pork Scratchings,
Seabrooks Prawn Cocktail crisps,
or
Flaming Hot Monster Munch

[i]I've never eaten pickled eggs[/i]

I too was late to the pickled egg party, but man, they're the beer-business

Don't, no really don't on any account eat/buy/pinch those Red Crisps, those ones made in Norfolk, the Spicy Tomato ones are so strong they take away the flavour of yer beer.. I mean!

Scampi fries

buy a bag of salt and vinegar crisps and a pickled egg. eat half the crisps (appetiser). smash up remaining crisps in bag. insert egg. shake. eat. ghetto scotch egg.

as if a scotch egg wasn't ghetto enough.

Snyder's of Hanover Jalapeno Pretzel Pieces accompanied by 6 pints of Veltins German Pilsner.

wasabi peas

any salted nut

Kent Crisps roast beef & Spitfire ale flavour.

Packet of salt n vinegar crisps and a pack of salted nuts, open both, pour nuts into crisp and shake, serve. Eat.

Nothing comes close to the pairing of pork scratchings and good real ale.

fiery Madras is coming up trumps as the bestest pub snack ever

Salted cashews are a favourite, also quavers, not just any quavers mind, it has to be the original cheese, melt in your mouth nothing ness.

flamin' hot monster munch.

I discovered these recently,

and they're bloody tremendous.

Can't remember the make, but when I go for a drink in Bath in a friends local, I always have a packet or two of Jalapeño Crisps. A pint of Doom Bar or Butcombe is essential with these crisps. I just wish more places sold them. Nom!

In order of bloomin loveliness, when served with a pint of something cold...

1. Biltong
2. Pork scratchings
3. Mini pretzels
4. Bacon fries
5. Japanese fire crackers
...
Some other food
...
1000000000000000. Pickled eggs.

In their absence, I'd suggest Steak McCoys and a pint of bitter. After the second or third pint, you may crave something meatier, which is when you bring out the pork scratchings.

I hadn't seen scampi fries nor those bacon fries thingumybobs for years until I found a new micro brewery pub not far from me.. Damn if those scampi fries remind me of something.... Just like they used to back in the day.

Post ride refreshment at the Black Dog Inn in Belmont......Salt and Vinegar McCoys and a proper beer! Perfect after San Marino.

Salted pistachios ftw

[img] [/img]

any pub worth it's salt will put out roast spuds and little cubes of cheese on a sunday lunchtime..
this gives the alkys something to digest while they call the numbers for the meat draw..

salt and vinegar tayto

Traditional Black Country Hot & Fiery Pork Crunch and/or Snyders Jalapeno Pretzel Pieces. Lovely!

Another vote for roast beef monster munch, taste ossum, last longer than crisps and less bad for you.... Winner every way you look at it 🙂

It has to be XL cheese crisps with a healthy covering of tabasco sauce whilst munching on a pickled egg, yum.........almost worth an excuse to cycle to the pub for a feast.

The Heart burning Tuesday Question

FTFY

Why haven't these been mentioned - sigh 😛

Salted pistachios ftw

+1 slightly tempered by the odd one in a packet you can't open.

Macadamia nuts run a close second

Cashews third

Nuts make up an important part of my diet.

Pork scratchings drowned in Worcestershire sauce!!!

How can folk eat pickled eggs?!?!?!?!?? Are your taste buds dead? Were they killed by pickled eggs?

Pickled eggs are ace. There was a crazy pub about a mile from my house where I grew up that brewed it's own ale and the home-made pickled eggs there were incredible.

Unfortunately I've been banned from eating pickled eggs by the wife, so I'll have to nominate good old-fashioned salted peanuts. 🙁

Jumbo salted peanuts. Used to prefer Brannigans beer nuts with the crunchy salt and gnarly bits on the outside but they seem to have disappeared years ago.

Failing that the Thai fries (basically spicy wedges) with chili dipping sauce that a couple of our locals do.

slainte 😀 rob

Planters Dry Roasted - best ever in world anywhere!
Scampi fries - a distant second.
Prawn-Cocktail Seabrook - a close third.

What?!? Are there no real northerners on here!?!?

The fish man comes around the pubs of my youth. He brings pots of shell fish (prawns for th ladies) and vinegar and white pepper.

Nowt better to make the bitter go down.

Used to get one of those in my old local before I moved. Always got greeted with most fo the bar shouting "[i]SEAFOOD![/i]" in a high pitched chant followed by some wag (not always the same one, either) calling "Got any crabs on yer, cock?"

It always made us smile, anyway

These are a pretty damn good pint accompanyment. Though you then have to sand-blast your hands to remove the smell

So.... has anyone else tried the Warburtons Fiery Madras Naan Crisps yet then?

You really need too!
