Is that who makes the Haggis flavored crisp?

Yes.

[redjambo]

I've just munched my way through a bag of Tesco's Root Vegetable (parsnip, sweet potato and beetroot) crisps. Delicious!

 

[Ulysses]

King cheese and onion, or Tayto cheese and onion. The rest?  Meh.

The winner, they are unbelievable. Like the op’s choice too, and brannagins roast beef, but nothing can beat those co-op crisps. ?

I was in Scotmid at Tollcross recently too.  

 

Wish I’d known.

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

There used to be blue cheese flavour crisps in the Diggers. My all time favourite. 

I remember a packet and a pint of heavy was a Quid. 

Or one pounds. 

 

Probably cost you 4 pounds and 50 pences now.

Unfortunately don't seemed to be stocked in shops we frequent up here. If anyone knows where I can get them it would be appreciated.

[maroondevo52]

Ready Salted Chipsticks, loved them, don't know why they stopped making them.

[ManxandCapeTownJambo]

Simba Mrs Balls Chutney flavour

Cheese Puffs

Twiglets

Some fine choices contained within this thread. Just wanted to throw American Cheeseburger flavoured Quarterbacks into the mix. Very hard to come by.

M&S - Sour cream and jalapeno

 

Monster Munch - Flamin hot

 

Discos- Salt and Vinegar

 

Hula Hoops- Beef

Walkers - Pickled onion or Worcester Sauce

 

Frisps are all magical when you can get them

 

Squares - salt and vinegar

This man knows. Throw in pickle onion space raiders and spicy transformer snacks and that a Bingo

[Finbar Saunders]

Quavers are the way to go, not on a sandwich though, any run of the mill crisp is good on a sandwich

[ri Alban]

Salt and vinegar mini chips, then savoury straws(cheese). But anything salt and vinegar.

 

Tudor Pickled onion, Gammon, or  Spring onion.

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.

I see some trolls are out to ruin this thread by posting names of products that are obviously not crisps. Monster munch, quavers, space invaders.

Mods, ban these people please, if they can't understand crisps, what hope is there.

Corn snacks are not crisps.

They are, they are merely not "potato chips"

 

If its good enough to enter into a holy alliance in a Walkers Spicy Mix Ups with French Fries as a stable mate, its a crisp

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.

[Buzz]

My favourite crisps are Sensations Thai sweet chilli sauce.

I refuse to eat any UK based crisps that advertise themselves as “chips”though!

[Francis Albert]

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.

[superjack]

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.

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.

[Notts1874]

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.

We tried these crisps a couple of weeks ago, which we bought in ASDA. 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.

Brannigan's roast beef and mustard are the best crisps ever made.

 

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.

Was in Asda today for the weekly "big shop" and it was only when I got to the check out I realised that half my goods were different kinds of crisps.

 

Damn you Kickback for leading me astray!

My son and I have just had beef Hula Hoops - fantastic

[weegranty]

Smith's     Cheese & Onion.

[56anawthat]

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.
