The burning Tuesday Question: Whats the bestest crisps/savoury pub snacks….

Eh?

Snackage to specifically accompany a pint down your local? Whetting your pre-kebab appetite

Normal Walkers-esque crisps just don’t cut it really IMHO. You need something a bit more substantial. Roast Beef Monster Munch for example. I’ve recently discovered these, and the fiery Madras is coming up trumps as the bestest pub snack ever

Your nominations please…..

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

OMG I need to find a retail outlet that stocks those naan chips ASAP!

I’ve never eaten pickled eggs.

Peanuts FTW.

Your nominations please…..

Genius!

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

as do these gems

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

Cor i used to love those…havent seen em in a while

It’s got to be either –

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

I’ve never eaten pickled eggs

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

It will indeed be coming out with trumps.

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.

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

Good call that man.

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

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!
