Title: Re: Favourite crisps Post by: Nemo on Wednesday, March 27, 2013, 19:20:14 Any Kettle Chips. The motherfucking daddy of all crisps. Yes. Lightly Salted or Salt & Vinegar. Magical, if a little harsh on the jaw. Title: Re: Favourite crisps Post by: sonicyouth on Wednesday, March 27, 2013, 19:20:52 Salt & Vinegar Pringles are awesome. So awesome in fact that if you eat too many they burn you.
Title: Re: Favourite crisps Post by: leefer on Wednesday, March 27, 2013, 19:22:50 My favourite are the Red Leicester and Onion.....closely followed by Cracked pepper.
I remember the puffs that arriba is on about...had a kind of greasy oily taste. Saying that i remember the days you only got plain....which came with an optional satchet of salt in a little blue packet inside the bag of crisps.

Title: Re: Favourite crisps Post by: Batch on Wednesday, March 27, 2013, 19:53:28 Hmmmm.
Someone used to do a ham and mustard (brannigans?), they were nice. Marmite crisps. Any McCoys or kettle chips. I think Pringles are laced with crack cocaine. They aren't my favourite, bloody moreish though. Crisp Facts: All crisp best before dates expire on a Saturday. Paul Heaton (beautiful south, housemartins) is a crisp connoisseur and can tell most makes/flavours in a blind test. Title: Re: Favourite crisps Post by: janaage on Wednesday, March 27, 2013, 19:55:07 Brannigans still do beef and mustard crisps which are the best crisps around.
Nando's peri peri are nice too. Title: Re: Favourite crisps Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Wednesday, March 27, 2013, 19:55:57 Thinking about it I love a lot of crisps. Pringles and Hula Hoops also deserve a mention.

Title: Re: Favourite crisps Post by: Batch on Wednesday, March 27, 2013, 19:59:48 The sad thing is I'm on women crisps at the moment to help with the weight loss. All this talk of man crisps is akin waving a pint under Christian Roberts nose.
Title: Re: Favourite crisps Post by: Arriba on Wednesday, March 27, 2013, 20:03:02 Brannigans still do beef and mustard crisps which are the best crisps around. I tried them once and couldn't eat them. Disgusting Title: Re: Favourite crisps Post by: sonicyouth on Wednesday, March 27, 2013, 20:10:34 anyone else remember these?
http://www.doyouremember.co.uk/memory.php?memID=4286 Title: Re: Favourite crisps Post by: wiggy on Wednesday, March 27, 2013, 20:29:29 Pringles are soooo bad for you.
Pop a couple into a small saucepan of boiling water, and see what comes out after a couple of minutes. Title: Re: Favourite crisps Post by: fatbasher on Wednesday, March 27, 2013, 20:29:56 anyone else remember these? Spooky, I was thinking of those when the thread first went up.http://www.doyouremember.co.uk/memory.php?memID=4286 Title: Re: Favourite crisps Post by: Batch on Wednesday, March 27, 2013, 20:32:50 anyone else remember these? http://www.doyouremember.co.uk/memory.php?memID=4286 Yup, and I also remember the news report asking someone who had eaten a real hedgehog if the taste was authentic. Actually, It ust have been this: Quote Bizarrely, a settlement was finally reached when Mr Lewis, of Hedgehog Foods, interviewed gypsies who actually did eat baked hedgehogs, to ascertain the flavour of hedgehogs. Mr Lewis then commissioned a flavourings firm to duplicate the flavour as closely as possible and changed the labels from "hedgehog flavoured" to "hedgehog flavour" and all interests were satisfied! Title: Re: Favourite crisps Post by: nochee on Wednesday, March 27, 2013, 20:40:23 mmmmmm crisps. Another big up for McCoys mexican chilli here. Can't go wrong with a bag of Walkers cheese and onion either. Remember those fish and chips from the school tuck shop and they were nice(biscuits though) Beef flavour Puffs were amazing. They were banned from Oli Tompkins school as they kept being trodden into the carpet. I would love a bag of them again. Anyone remember puffs? They were cheap tuck shop crisps too but were really nice. Aint seen them for years. Title: Re: Favourite crisps Post by: LucienSanchez on Wednesday, March 27, 2013, 21:06:25 Aside from all the usual ones, my 'blast from the past' shout goes to cheeseburger quarterbacks... amazing, and very much in your space raider style (ie. Cheap, puffed wheat)
Title: Re: Favourite crisps Post by: fatbasher on Wednesday, March 27, 2013, 21:09:31 Aside from all the usual ones, my 'blast from the past' shout goes to cheeseburger quarterbacks... amazing, and very much in your space raider style (ie. Cheap, puffed wheat) And on that bombshell I'll raise you a packet of hula hoops for walkers potato puffs. They were something like two pennies or a tanner for a pack when I was in mount ford Manor junior school back in the 60's.Title: Re: Favourite crisps Post by: Flashheart on Wednesday, March 27, 2013, 21:11:28 Those plain ones with a little (blue?) packet of salt.
Title: Re: Favourite crisps Post by: Arriba on Wednesday, March 27, 2013, 21:13:18 What were the ones with dragons on the packet? Snaps I think. Quarterbacks are a great shout. Completely forgot about them.

Title: Re: Favourite crisps Post by: Bumpkin on Wednesday, March 27, 2013, 22:26:30 BTW, there shouldn't there be a differentiation over Crisps and Corn Snacks (wheat crunchies, chipsticks and quavers)?

I know that sounds like a stupid statement, but crisps can sometimes fail to live up to taste expectations.
