Crisps

[dessiato]

Any fancy Spanish flavours? (Now you mention it I've probably seen them in Barcelona, but not in UK for reasons explained by purves grundy)

The only ones I can think of are jamon, and they do fried egg flavour. I have had jamon, but not the egg ones.

The bags are less jam packed than they were in days of yore though.

Same goes for all crisps and wagon wheeled shaped snacks...

I don’t recall them being crinkle cut back in the 80s either, but passage of time etc.

I have a horrific crisp problem, would live on them of allowed too. I tend to go through cycles of eating just one flavour or style for a while. So my current obsessions are nacho cheese muchos, and tesco salt and pepper hand cooked ones. Previous hits have been Smiths bacon fries, chicken salt fries, seaweed curls by off the eaten path, cheese balls, dorito stax spicy cheese.

fried egg flavour

Salted egg flavour is pretty popular in Myanmar (can't remember who made em). Can't think of anything worse.

Peanut butter flavour puffs were pretty interesting but nothing hits the correct taste receptors like ready salted. The body craves those. Bizarre that anything else is better.

My local shop sells Lay's crisps. Don't get the interesting flavours that often though.

Obligatory mention of hedgehog flavour.

Walker’s pickled onion ftw

The one non-standard Lays flavour I do like is wasabi, otherwise stick to plain. Tried the cucumber but they were just wrong, otherwise it's meat or fish stuff which is not for me.

i've not yet met a crisp i wouldn't eat

 

[urbanspaceman]

These two are the best crisps I've ever tasted

 

[circleline]

*Phileas Fogg - - Nothing has ever come close to their Tortillas and Mignon Morceaux;. searched everywhere in (northern) France for some near equivalent of MMs.

*Feels like the annoying buzzer answer on QI but mentioning for sheer yearning factor, even after all this time.

Even the lesser spotted Tomato Ketchup 'flavour'?

A truly revolting crisp, I remember.

Omg yes!!!!! These were my Friday night treats from the Threshers at the bottom of the road. Ahhh the Golden Girls and Phileas Fogg crisps, all I needed in my 8 year old world. ❤❤

I bought some of them the other year - that was a mistake. Awful things - left a nasty claggy taste.

I try and avoid eating crisps as I'll shovel packet after packet in. I've recently started buying tortilla chips - they're even worse as they come in big bags which you obviously have to finish in one go.

This bumped thread has given me an unexpected yearning for Tudor Crisps - Gammon Flavour

And they go well with hummus.

They were not crisps! but they were good!

Yup - quite vile but very popular when I was at school for some odd reason.

I've bought some fish & chips flavour crisps because of this thread.

 

[kalidarkone]

My favourite crisps are the Old El Paso cheese strips- so crunchy. So good with dips.

Aldi used to have crisps made from beans- they were my all time number one.
