Now rebranded as "Taylors" after they got bought over.
These are bloody lovely but looks like they’ve stopped the haggis ones:

But you can still get them but look a bit pricey:

Lidl's Snacktastic Salt'n'Vinegar Crunchy Sticks. Just like they used to be in M&S in the old days.

Magnificent. https://world.openfoodfacts.org/product/2000000132...

Their fake Pringles are way better than Pringles, too.

For posh crisps trying to be all sophisticated and that, Co-Op sea salt and chardonnay vinegar crisps are da bomb:

Try yorkshire crisps chardonnay white wine, soooo good cloud9 we usually get them in the welcome basket of a log cabin we use which beats any bottle,bread,milk or jam weve ever been left hehe
Cheers, I'll keep an eye out. Not sure I've ever seen the brand down here in tropical Berkshire though!
they sell, or used to at least up to last year, yorkshire crisps in windsor farm shop.

Can’t believe nobody else has said Torres, I know they’re a bit expensive and likely not for sale outside of London but they’re immense.

Gosh - I've not heard that word for a long time!

What happened to them? They were indeed excellent.

All I want in life is giant sharing (yeah right) bags of Scampi fries or bacon fries, 150g should do it. I can’t understand why, but presume it’s because they are so unhealthy. I don’t care let that be my choice!!

Smiths Frazzles have been one of my faves for years but the last 6 pack i bought at the weekend seem different, different texture and less of a bacon taste. I am hoping i just bought a dodgy pack but....

Co-Op Bacon Rashers are da bomb in this category currently.
