! I am also convinced that walkers did a pizza flavour crisp that were good, but everybody else thinks I imagined it.

I'm sure that they were Pizza slice shaped as well... Or else am I imagining them as well

They were called Bitza Pizza and used the old '60s song "Bits and Pieces" in the advert. I have some of the Walkers world cup crisps at home and have discovered the Italian Spagetti Bolognaise tastes exactly the same...

Oh and Walkers Worcester Sauce French Fries were the greatest invention of the 20th Century.

Just remembered about Tudor, Gammon and Pineapple flavour!

Vote here for Nandos BBQ Crisps...not the Hot ones which are frankly too hot. BBQ ones are fab!

Also, have recently fallen back in love with Twiglets. Worcestershire sauce ones were the best (RIP).

Anybody remember "Rancheros" sort of a BBQ flavoured expanded styrofoam.

Had a pack of these the other day, bought from a garage near letterkenny when i stopped to fill up on cheap fuel. The missus usually brings back a few packs when she's visiting her family in tipperary. She's off there tomorrow if you want a pack

Seriously? PM me!

Did you get my email?

Those hairy biker ones are pretty good, made by the people at Burts apparently. I had some prawn ones the other day, certainly very moreish.

In the early 80's I worked in a mates pub in Harrogate and on this day I was in there at lunchtime and I had just bought a pint and a bag of plain crisps when the rep from Seabrooks came in to take an order.
I asked for the Worcestershire sauce and sprinkled some in the bag. The look on the salesman's face was a picture and he asked if he could try some.
A couple of months later Seabrooks were selling Worcestershire Sauce crisps and AFAIK they were the first.
I had been eating crisps like this for years too.

I cant remember the name of the ones I want to mention - they were 'Salt and Vinegar' flavour, in a blue bag obviously and possibly with yellow writing, but werent crisps as such, kind of little tubes although sealed at both ends, very thin walled. Might have been called 'Mr ***' something. Not sure when I last saw them for sale but were available 15/20 years ago.

One I do remember being bloody nice, although absolutely stinking, were Jordans 'Sundried Tomato' flavoured crisps.

Brannigans probably the best though, in their older style bags. 'Fish and Chips' for pure uniqueness too.

[Mr Roper]

I'm loving the Kettle Sea Salt & Balsamic Chips. Truly great crisps

[CooperD]

I used to love the "Hard Cheese" flavour Nik Naks but they were discontinued. They reminded me of a snack I used to buy in Malta many years ago. Now I really like the Hairy Bikers Prosciutto and Blue Cheese crisps.

[Allanv]

Original Smiths bovril flavour.

[Blown2CV]

i think i am the only person in the world to have tasted or even seen these, but seabrooks sweetcorn flavour. I even tried contacting them to see if i could buy a job lot after the morrison's stopped selling them (c. 2001)! Oh and either brannigans beef or ham, they are amazing!

My first thought when seeing this thread was exactly the same. Loved them. I think they also did a beef flavour.

McCoys did a flaming Fajita flavour tortila chip a few years ago, only in a bigger bag like the big bags of Doritos. All of a sudden they topped selling anywhere, and I cant find them anywher at all think I may have kept the sales going longer all on my own with my addiction to them (I was bought them as presents)

not 100% certain on the name, but its close I think, approx 8 years ago or so...

would love to find them again!
