Buy ‘em right here! CHILLI & LEMON SMOKEHOUSE CAYENNE TRINIDAD SCORPION CHILLI Was idly shopping in Tesco earlier this evening, and spotted they had the Cayenne and Scorpion ones in stock, hidden on the bottom shelf. Would never have seen or even taken notice of them if you hadn't posted them here! Can't wait to fire into them (p.s. Hope they're actually spicy! I grow Carolina Reapers to cook with, which are on a different planet! .) Edited January 4, 2019 by tian447 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glad you enjoyed, I asked my wife how many people tried them as I had been on the sauce, she said about 8 people but only my daughter and I thought they were great, the other thought they were too spicy. Seabrooks do have a good reputation for strong tasty crisps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can understand why people thought they were too much, and that's why they're so good Quote Link to post Share on other sites

J Cheever Loophole Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I miss a packet of Tudor Pickled Onion My favourite piece at work was Potted Meat with the pickled onion crisps. The crisps added just before consumption because they were soggy if you added them in the morning? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DVB Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 My favourites are Brannigans Roast Beef and Mustard and coop Chardonnay and vinegar crisps. I actually really like coop plain tortilla chips. I used to like 5p bags of meanies and farmer browns when I was younger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 This might sound a bit boring given the many flavours out there in the crisp world but I am watching my salt intake as the old BP was creeping up. I have started using salt n shake crisps, without the salt obviously, and after a while you realise it is the flavour of the oil and potato that you crave not the salt.
