Crisp survey.

No-one mentioned Burt’s Firecracker Lobster? Just needed sayin.

Co-op (Tyrells) Cheese and Spring Onion are v tasty too. But the salt and chardonponcey vinegar ones are too salty and vinegary. Walkers salt and vinegar are always the ones to best.

Best cheese and onion snack ever made were Smiths ‘Fangs’. A very long time ago.

I stopped eating them and lost weight so it’s very rare now i have a bag but in our local they sell these

And I love them while watching the football with a pint or 4 😀

The undisputed king of crips is clearly the Seabrook “Beefy” flavour in the ridgy cut!

too salty and vinegary.

Sorry, you’ve lost me.

Or, on a ‘healthy’ day, minus the salt they are still ok and half feed the crisps addict in me

Thegreatape – those got my interest, but apart from being silly expensive and only available online – what are they like?! 4mm thick crisps?!

Genuinely thinking about having a punt, but do they actually crunch or just break into shards and lacerate your mouth?

I found them at Tebay services on the M6 so everything was expensive, but they were the perfect accompaniment to a spicy pork pie with onion chutney. They’re huge, and they do crunch as described. Certainly there was no discomfort from eating them, just pleasure. They reminded me of Mackays crisps if you’ve ever had those (possibly only found in Scotland) but a bit less salty and three times the size and thickness.

Kettle chips sea salt with black peppercorns.

That is all.

Thanks TGA. Just got off the phone to them, and an order being sorted 🙂

those Co-op, sea-salt and chardonnay vinegar crisps represent the pinnacle of the artform.

Nice one, enjoy!

Quite partial to these…

As much as I’d like to say it’s some artisan niche crisp…

Unlike Singletrackmind, I love French crisps. I’d happily just eat the basic ready salted ones forever; however, they need to be enjoyed post-surf and accompanied by several stubbies of continental lager whilst sat in the dappled shade of a pine forest in Les Landes. So I’ll have to become a beach bum – quel dommage!

edit. I’m now off to testcos to find crisps you fvcK£R5!

this is correct

Co-op ready salted is correct. Salt & vinegar is a vulgar flavouring; originally intended to disguise cheap oils used for feral crisps made from potatoes that were rejected even by their mother.

It won’t do you any good…we can smell the lack of vinegar a mile away!

You’ll struggle to hide whilst eating crisps

Ate 2 tubes of salt n vinegar pringles once, felt like I was gonna die of salt overdose or something, was worth it.

Chapaking has hit the nail on the head.

Just ate a “share” bad of Kettle Chips Balsmic Vinegar flavour. 100% my favourite. Unless, unless I have a beer in hand, in which case their cheese and red onion.

Walkers Worcestershire sauce flavour in a cheddar cheese sandwich. BTW – did anyone see that programme on how crisps are made and packaged recently? Brilliant.

Important question: Do Pringles count as crisps?

No, I believe that for tax reasons they are actually a cake.

Another vote for Seabrooks here – the Prawn Cocktail are delicious.

Walkers ready salted

Scampi Fries?

You’re going on the list.

Christmas?

I love crisps and like to eat most flavours, however, for some reason any flavour that isn’t ready salted repeats in me for the rest of the day. This is most disappointing.

So for me it’s any salted crisp with a good crunch. Usually kettle chips.

Whilst technically a corn snack and not a crisp these were the most popular when I was at school, probably partly down to only being 10p a bag.

Now then…

I’m not aware of these Cougar, were they an 80s phenomena like Quarterbacks?

The best crisps by far

[/thread]

We’ve got a free canteen at work, a feature of which is about 10 varieties of crisps on tap at all times. Frazzles are winning currently, swiftly followed by the Branstons mini cheddars. No poncy ones in though.

These were nice:

Come the revolution, he’ll be the first against the wall!
Mini Cheddars are irresistible, they’re a bit like proper Digestive biscuits, once I get started on a packet, there’s really no stopping!
Good thing they’re little packets.
Otherwise any sweet chilli crisps, chorizo, proper mature cheddar and onion will do, depending on whatever the pub happens to have behind the bar…

Beef Space Raiders aren’t crisps either but they can pull 20p from my pocket.
