Spotted these in my local Morrisons and just had to try. Well worth it and happy to recommend as they do taste the part.

Love Tyrrells - the mature cheddar and chive are a particular favourite closely followed by their sea salt and cider vinegar. Can get these in NL also.

Visiting my parents over christmas - I discovered Tesco's own beef and horseradish crinkles - these were particularly nice also.

You dont see Seabrooks as much these days, especially some of these from back in the day, always liked them though.

Yep, I've never seen an Asda that doesn't stock them.

Good old Seabrook, I'd never set eyes on them until Nottingham Uni student union, I think they were about 20p!

Is the Midlands a mecca for crisps?

Sorry I should have been more specific, I know you can get them in supermarkets, but not as common in pubs or cafe type establishments as they used to be. Most seem to stock the tyrells/Pipers type stuff these days, even in Yorkshire pubs where Seabrooks are made. I just put the pics of the packets up as a bit of nostalgia, roast chicken were my faves

Golden Wonder do a sausage and tom.

i crusised B&M and home bargains pre Christmas for cheese footballs as local supermarkets were out, and I went a bit mad on the more unusual crisps and snacks that they sell. Meat multipack of Golden wonder. There not very nice though. still got a pack lingering.

Was going to go Holy Zombie Raising, but it's only been a few months.

Manomasa have a new limited edition available through Waitrose (and maybe other places) - Chimichurri Steak.


I'm not picking up all the flavours they talk about but there is a superb crunch to them and taste wise it is as if they have mixed burnt ends in with the corn (in fact the ingredients do include dried beef).
