smartin1987 Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 Roast beef monster munch, walkers tomato ketchup. Walkers sweet chill sensations, chili doritos, bbq popchips, onion rings, bacon rashers, McCoy's thai sweet chicken. The list could go on crisps are my downfall as you can see Quote

Finbar Saunders Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 Quavers are the way to go, not on a sandwich though, any run of the mill crisp is good on a sandwich Quote
ri Alban Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 (edited) Salt and vinegar mini chips, then savoury straws(cheese). But anything salt and vinegar. Tudor Pickled onion, Gammon, or Spring onion. Edited December 28, 2018 by ri Alban Quote
mrcrisps Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 Farmfoods not only have '8 for 6' multipacks of Tangy Toms for a quid... but do 2 multipacks for £1.80. Not really crisps but SO TASTY. Quote

They're brilliant, the strongest salt and vinegar crisps I've ever had, enough to make your mouth pucker! Great for a salt fix with a hangover too. Quote
Buzz Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 My favourite crisps are Sensations Thai sweet chilli sauce. I refuse to eat any UK based crisps that advertise themselves as “chips”though! Quote
Francis Albert Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 Another vote for Brannigans Roast Beef and Mustard. As an off topic aside it is a great pity Brannigans Beer Nuts were discontinued some time back - best salted peanuts. I also enjoy classic plain ready salted, the best I think being Pipers. Walkers' reinvention or rebranding of Smiths "SaltnShake" are also decent - especially if you leave out or go easy on the salt. Quote
superjack Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 Seeing as this thread seems to be about crisps and other snacks I tried something new today which I loved: Curried grass hoppers and some salt and vinegar crickets. I would actually choose the crickets over salt and vinegar crisps from now on. Quote
Morgan Posted December 28, 2018 Author Posted December 28, 2018 23 hours ago, Morgan said: We also tried these last April when we were over. Got them in Waitrose, I think. Recommended by the sister-in-law who is a bloater, so we reckoned she must have known what she was talking about. Wrong! Like her, they were bland. And triangle shaped. Just been told it wasn’t this particular flavour (same make though) that the bloater recommended. I was therefore doing her an injustice. She’s a lump of lard instead. Quote
Notts1874 Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 Im partial to a Worcester Sauce French Fry but my favourites are a toss up between Squares and Golden Wonder Cheese and Onion. Both truly outstanding. Quote

As it says on the packet, they are great with beer. We also tried some of the Marks and Spencer range they brought out for Christmas, they all tasted the same despite the wonderful descriptions on the bags. What crisps do you like/recommend? Feel free to include tortilla chips. These are my favourite at the moment, there Wasabi flavour is good too.

These have always been one of my favourites. They were the best around imo, but something was changed, they don’t seem to be as thick as they used to be and therefore not quite as good. Quote

56anawthat Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 Once upon a time 'crisps' were thin potato slices cooked to perfection. Now these are hard to come by. For some reason the marketeers have determined that what we all need is potato or corn starch heavily salted, flavoured and shaped, and loaded up with preservatives and e-numbers, and moulded to look like a crisp. Or worse still, into supposedly attractive shapes with trendy names. No, Hula Hoops, Quavers, Wotsits and even Pringles are not crisps. They are an unhealthy abomination and have no place in this thread, which I believe is about 'crisps'. Rant over. Quote
