No noticeable heat. Had a bag of the KFC Zinger ones at the weekend and they were quite nice and I would eat them again. Couldn't place the flavour. Occasional hints of chicken I suppose. Heat was somewhere between salt and vinegar and Thai Sweet Chilli Sensations. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jamstomorrow Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Was keen on big bags of Tyrrells Sea salt and vinegar, but £2 a bag. Moved onto Sainsbury's finest at £1 a bag. Much better value. Also keen on Baked Cheesy Wotsits. No wonder I am getting a fat git. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Riddley Walker Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Mackies Crisps are an abomination of a crisp. Trick you into thinking they're going to be kettle chipesque but in reality it's like eating salted cardboard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Frenchman Returns Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) Has anyone found these anywhere in Edinburgh? Edit - Appears they may be in Waitrose - anyone confirm this? Edited March 5 by The Frenchman Returns Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sooperstar Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 These are brilliant. Have only seen them in Scotmid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trick you into thinking they're going to be kettle chipesque but in reality it's like eating salted cardboard. They've got a strange texture. It's like they've been dehydrated rather than fried. First time I tried them, I had to check the ingredients to see if they were made with powdered potato, or something. Definitely not a favourite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alan_R Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 23 hours ago, milky_26 said: discontinued last year "KP Foods said demand had fallen, so bosses took the decision to cease production. A nation is mourning the loss of the old-time crisp brand Brannigans, a mainstay of pub bar shelves and a corner shop staple, which has been suddenly discontinued due to falling sales" but if you Google them it's literally just loads of various forums (from football fans all the way through to Mumsnet!) Asking for stockists. farmfoods were the only stockist really. Maybe if KP/branigans had actually supplied them properly they'd find they sell fine. trouble is Tesco express etc all have the same tired variety of crisps every time. my workmate was telling me his local cornershop usually just has your regular safe bets. Walkers etc. But every so often he'd make a request to the owner and knowing he's a regular he would get something in (roysters, bacon oinks etc). My workmate swears by the time he returned for another bag a day or so later the other customers would've finishes off the box of 'new crisps'. dunno how accurate that is exactly but point being shops, Especially big chains, will constantly just go for boring and safe.

Cade Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) I still miss the Phileas Fogg snack range from the late 1980's/early 1990s. They had some incredible products. The modern range is pish. Crispy, bitesize garlic bread Really fiery tortilla chips Curry flavour baked crisps with a similar texture to Royster's but really wee. Edited March 6 by Cade Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They were on their own wee stand in one of the aisles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I could have them on their own. Never tried Peroni. Pretty expensive compared to other beers and, well, you may as well stick to what you know and like. Nothing worse than getting home and realising you have a fridge full of bottled dish water. Had that experience with Rolling Rock. No crisp in the world could make that muck taste better. 😊 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
