As children, my brothers and I were never allowed to eat salt and vinegar crisps as my mother deemed them common.

To this day, they still have a 'forbidden fruit' quality that marks them out as my favourite

There was only ever boring ready salted in our house growing up. Anything else would have been a treat.

The only way round it was to get the vinegar bottle & sprinkle vinegar over the ready salted crisps. Et voila we now had salt & vinegar!

Torres Foie Gras are now the gold standard that I will judge every other crisp against. Outrageously good.

Can’t remember if I’ve mentioned this before, but as a strict S&V man, I also love Cheese XL, favourite crisp of Cumbria and Dumfries & Galloway, and nigh on impossible to get anywhere else.

"Currently enjoying these,...I actually don't like 'hot' crisps but these are not half bad, Walkers flamin hot wotsits"


Exactly the same, despite enjoying my vindaloos etc I really do not like hot crisps but these, just flavourful, melt in your mouth goodness :-)

Anyone else used to put crisp packets under the grill to make miniature versions?

My minds bends when reading this. Conversely, we always hated prawn cocktail in our house and saved them up for my fat friend who demolished them.

Favourite crisps of all time:

Walkers squares ( before recipe change)
Tomato wheat crunchies
Puff crisps ( if anyone remembers these- 90’s)
Original monster munch hot (90’s)
Seabrook scorcin hot


Also must admit the Marks and Spencers range of crisps are amazing

[RSVR101]

Definitely Worcester Sauce French Fries!! Pretty rare these days!?

Brannigans roast beef and mustard are epic and so was Walkers lamb and mint. I'm really enjoying Pipers crisps at the moment.

We used to do that at school in late 70's and use them as key rings! Not sure if its possible with todays foil type bags?

Wish we could still get mustard crisps, used to enjoy the ones in a paper bag as they were really hot.

Easy, just put the foil ones in the microwave.

Why is it we have supermarket isles full of mediocre crisps and gold like Tatyo (hard to come by) and Brannigans (sadly gone) is not there?

Is it because we as a nation prioritise cost of food over quality?

You can’t actually buy them though as they stopped making them in 2020.
