Crisps: who makes the best?

[Stella Tortoise]

Another vote for Torres, cured cheese or Iberico flavour.

Avoid the caviar, they are rank.

Cannot find the fried egg ones anywhere.

Majestic have been the cheapest so far.

That's what I thought until I found some Ketchup flavour Pringles (proper branded Pringles, not rip-off) in a poundshop last Christmas. Damn near inedible. My kids wouldn't touch them, but I powered through them because I will not be beaten by any crisp. Would never buy again, nearest thing I've ever come to a crisp I don't like.

Interesting. There's a brand of crisps in Turkey called 'Ruffles' (part of Frito Lay, but don't worry about that) and they have a flavour called 'Ketçap" (ketchup) which is utterly delicious. They look like this:



I wonder how they differ from the Pringles one you mention, or perhaps our tastes differ.

These are salty heroin. Usually on offer at the moment too.

Is that only to Clubcard holders though?

Clubcard price: £1.00
Everyone else: £8.00

Mackies thick cut Scottish crisps

I’m not even Scottish

Mackies are now Taylors crisps, as mentioned previously in this thread, just incase you can't find them.

Thanks for the heads up

Agree, picked up a pack and they were very moreish.

[ecsrobin]

Just had a pack of Tesco finest crinkle cut roast beef and horseradish crisps. Give the kind of kick that Brannigan’s used to provide before they stopped making them.

Thanks to a drunken purchase on Amazon and wanting some 'overcooked' crisps these have arrived........



Just need to try and get some Russet potatoes now.

[seabod91]

These are very good. So morish.

the Mrs found some in, of all places, Fortnum and Mason. Even better was that they are cheaper than elsewhere.

Enjoying a small bowl with a beer.

I'll second that one. Well worth a couple of quid if you're wanting some savoury starchy goodness.

Now rebranded as "Taylors" after they got bought over.

Hadn’t realised that! Bought a bag a week or two ago

Lidl still getting stock of these in luckily

[Mark V GTD]

Another (or is it the only) vote for Walkers Salt n Vinegar. I know, such low brow taste but I love them!

[YorkshireStu]

Best 'crisps' or 'chips' as I'm used to, are made my Willards, their Big Korn Bites.

Their Ghost Pepper are the hottest crisps I've ever tasted; genuinely very hot for crisps.

My favourites used to be Simba's Fruit Chutney. They are still excellent.

The difference is these brands stack a lot more flavour onto each crisp - none are 'weak'.

Not UK brands though, these are much, much better than anything I've tried here so get them from the local South African shops.

Yep. It's very easy to go through an entire bag of these, especially with a beer or 2. As salted crisps go I reckon they're about as good as it gets.

[MattsCar]

Farmfoods has some interesting "premium" crisps at good prices. The ones left/right were £1. The one in the middle 50p.

All of them are VERY nice.
