Walkers Max Punchy Paprika.

The creme de la creme of crisps. Why oh why do they only produce this master piece in single packets? I'd be all over it for my lunch box.

Yeeees!

The cheese shops in Liverpool St and Marylebone station used to sell them

Seems ADSA has them. Problem is Asda is in Southgate....roadman country

I'm generally restrict myself to Tesco Click and Collect, but I might have to look into this.

My local Sainsbury's does multipacks of them but the bags are tiny.

Recently discovered in Tesco, but not in the main crisp and snack aisle, in a random soft drink location.

i've had a recent surge in my desire for crisps, and am on the hunt for the best salt and vinegar crisp. I've tried kettle (not strong enough flavour) and walkers (unbelievably thin almost a bag of air). Even hit the pickled onion monster munch (god they're different to when i was a kid). Pringles salt and vinegar were a favourite, but its not really a crisp, its just made of crap, but i liked the flavour profile...

So, suggestions for a strong flavour and sturdy crisp?

Was fearing that PH membership card would be withdrawn but see that some others have favoured Tesco Finest lightly salted crisps. Family prefer the crinkle though I prefer the old style.

However now going to tread into the danger area, lentil chips.

Preferred serving is a 50:50 mixture of Sainsburys Lightly Salted Lentil Triangles and Proper Chips Sea Salt Lentil Chips.

I'll get my coat.

Definitely my number one.

Although I don't buy them that often as I can consume a six pack in one sitting.

Those are very good. I also tried the Limited Edition Kentucky BBQ Crinkle Cut crisps and those were excellent too.

Que? Both Asda and Tesco sell the 140g pack.

Unless you consider 140g a "single packet"? biggrin
