Crisps

Lancashire Crisps for me. Just right - nice and crisp but not too thick.

Jaxjacky, lucky husband, I’d love to find a box of Tayto under my Christmas 🎄

Got to be Pipers Longhorn Beef for me. Can’t have crisps in the house as I would eat them but Pipers are expensive and so I only buy them when they are on special offer.

Yes dogsmother I know what you mean- the difference in colour between ready salted and ketchup flavour is very slight

Aldi do some lovely crisps made from root vegetables. My faves are the beetroot ones.

We make lovely delicious crisps for our GC - machine thin potatoes, carrots, beetroot, turnips - shake with oil, salt - bake.

I seem to have a weird taste in crisps - I really like tomato ketchup flavour and prawn cocktail flavour, plus salt & vinegar, though these can be a bit too tangy for me, and make my lips tingle!

I love Walkers bacon crisps, only ones I eat

pringles are not crisps.
they are something else.
Tayto crisps are something special; there are asian shops in cricklewood that stock irish potatoes, newspapers, tea, butter etc, and taytos, specially for their elderly irish patrons.

I only like Walkers. Can never understand why salt and vinegar are in a green packet and cheese and onion ( my favourite) are blue. Doesn’t seem right to me.

Tayto from N.Ireland are my all time favourite,when I was a little kid I had a packet of their cheese and onion as a special treat every Friday.The British Shop here in Canada bring them in around Christmas time so I stock up.

Oh yes Llamedos13, Tayto are the best! My mother and stepfather used to bring a box on the annual visit plus some Veda bread!!

I was told that if you light a Pringle they will burn like a candle because they’re so full of fat, and it’s true!

I only really like the expensive crisps but they have to be just ready salted. I don’t understand why a potato crisps needs to taste of anything except potato, but that’s just me. Salt and vinegar the absolute worst.

Love tomato sauce flavour!

Bazza, ooohh Veda with tons of butter and a bag of tayto cheese and onion, best lunch ever😋

Whoops, that was meant for DamaskRose.

I just LOVE Walkers cheese and onion crisps. So much so that I boasted to DH I would be able to recognise them in a blind tasting 🤣

Then one evening he presented me with SIX bowls of cheese and onion crisps to test me. He told me the six makes.

Not only did I correctly choose the Walkers but I also (somehow!) managed to identify all the brands correctly!

LOL

Can I add that I’ve never understood the crisps in sandwiches thing. DH used to do it, but I’d rather have a few crisps on the side to go with the sandwich, but not in it.

Ooo yes Georgesgran
I do love a cheese and onion crisp sandwich with mayonnaise in it as well.

We are in Portugal at the moment, and have become addicted to these. They sound dreadful, but are actually delicious. Pity we won't get them back home.

Ready salted? USED to love them but bland now, salt and vinegar gone the same way, thought I was alone in thinking it was my tastebuds, but no, it's all to do with health! About 20 years ago, Brannigans Beef & Mustard were fab, but I don't know if they still make them and if they do, if I dare try, in case they too have been tampered with.

Tesco do a finest Beef & Horseradish, very nice!

I tried their limited edition Turkey & stuffing a few days ago, yuck! Currently working my way through pigs in blankets.

However, cofresh chilli & lemon curls are divine!

My brother in law once said that he thought he'd married into a family with the tastebuds of reptiles!

Saying that, in my youth, you'd never get me near lemon or coconut flavours, yuck! But now, coconut cream yes, bounty still no, it's desiccated yuck yuck, and lemon tarts, lemon meringue, lemon curd oh my! Taste buds change!

Now, if only my tastebuds would change that I could no longer love chocolate, I'd be svelte! Where's that wispa bar?

I like crisps, but don't buy them as I would eat them! I once read that if you ate a small packet of crisps every day for a year you would ingest for litres of oil, don't know if its true!

I can remember as a kid, eating a crisp that had, what I thought was a big air bubble, nope it was full of Oil.
Not a little oil but a significant amount, it was disgusting!

Remember the days of Smiths crisps with a twist of blue paper of salt inside the bag! And Golden Wonder (I think) bringing out the first ‘flavour’ being cheese ‘n’ onion.

Poor you dogsmother with tomato flavour! I’ve never tried them but they don’t sound very nice!

And sometimes I was unfortunate and got a packet that didn't have that little blue paper twist with salt and had to eat my crisps unsalted!

I wouldn't care for tomato ketchup flavoured crisps either, btu they would probably teach me to take reading glasses with me and use them when I go shopping!

Love Pipers crisps but can rarely find them in supermarkets and even then no longer seem to have the plain variety.

Yuk! Not surprised you didnt like them. I'm currently into salted chip sticks and hula hoops

Sainsbury's Taste the Difference mature cheddar and spring onion; or as a special treat Tyrells vegetable crisps.
