Favourite Flavour Of Crisps

[Slimfella]

was it them that released the hedgehog flavour ones for a limited period ?

 

No, funny though

 

"In the UK in 1981, Hedgehog Foods Ltd decided, as a joke, to produce Hedgehog flavoured crisps (potato chips). To everyone's surprise, the crisps were a huge success.

 

Hedgehog flavoured crisps were actually flavoured with pork fat and no hedgehogs were used in the manufacturing process. Consequently, it wasn't long before Hedgehog Foods Ltd was in court (1982), up against the Office of Fair Trading, on a charge of false advertising.

 

Bizarrely, a settlement was finally reached when Mr Lewis, of Hedgehog Foods, interviewed gypsies who actually did eat baked hedgehogs, to ascertain the flavour of hedgehogs. Mr Lewis then commissioned a flavourings firm to duplicate the flavour as closely as possible and changed the labels from "hedgehog flavoured" to "hedgehog flavour" and all interests were satisfied "

No, man crisps.

 

That's what the ad says, and I for one trust the ad.

[zig-a-zig-ah]

Are Nik Naks regarded as crisps or a corn based snack?

 

Brannigans Ham and Mustard FTW

 

It's beef and mustard..or ham and pickle!

[Bluto10]

for crisps then it has to be the yellow ketle chips.

 

for stuff in packets, sold down the pub, then undoubtedly its pork scratchings.

[daytripping]

Roast Beef Monster Munch

 

Tomato or Bacon for normal crisps

[daytripping]

I tried real pork scratchings in a pub in Grimsby, they were minging! made me wretch.

[pullman_du]

must be a bit like pigs cheeks eh, did some of them in barcelona. too hard for my dentures, a few worrying moments and they weren't overly tasty either.

[Bluto10]

you were probably sober then.

SOme bags came with free toothpicks as not every hedgehog had been properly plucked.

 

Salt and Vinegar ringos were awesome especially is you were lucky enough to get a big bit of flavour in your packet.

 

Bkers and Transforma snacks are also good crisps to eat if you're a "lump of flavour" lover like I am.

 

You should know what I'm on about.

Here's one for all you marketing whizzkids, product improvees, in other words dicks with far too much time on their hands.

 

Crisps were much, much better before they were in foil bags. It gave them a chance to dry out a bit and cut the greasiness massively.

 

Smith's salt and vinegar in the old see through bags were lethal, just lethal. The more dried out they were the better they tasted.

 

Walkers crisps in foil bags are disgusting, how anyone in their right mind can eat and enjoy that is beyond me.

 

Same goes for Monster Munch, ruined with the advent of foil.

 

Whoever the f**k thought it was a good idea to use foil needs their head examined. But you get told on the bag it's better for you and that's it, gone are the old bags, never to return it seems.

 

No c**t asked me about these f**king foil abortions, and if they had, I'd have telt them straight.

Do you still get Scampi Fries? Left your fingers smelly but were fine as feck.

[looksgoodinred]

all-dressed crisps

 

a little cheese, a little BBQ, a little salt and vinegar.

[Redstar]

Pickled onion Monster Munch...failing that...Pickled Onion Space Raiders (the minky version of Monster Munch)

[reekie_dock]

Not if I just had my nails done but there has been the odd occasion where I have licked the hoops from my fingers. I have also crunched up the last few hoops and then take the bag to my mouth yum yum!

Massive in the Hoop lickn game are we???

[Clydeside_Sheep]

Essentially ALL Walkers crisps, including the Monster Munch range, for me.

 

Going back to the old Monster Munch crisp size was the best thing they ever did.

 

No crisps are bad, but some are less awesome than others.

[The Cockney Don]

Pickled onion Monster Munch...failing that...Pickled Onion Space Raiders (the minky version of Monster Munch)

Aye, liked them too .

 

Roast Beef monster munch as well .

[dj_bollocks]

Burt's Crisps are currently my crack cocaine… http://www.burtschips.com/potato-chips/ The Spicy Chorizo and the Firecracker Lobster are so moreish… That and the Walkers S'n'V Extra Crunchy with a dollop of ketchup on them…. Another diet is fast approaching...

[CrazyBullSheep]

Onion rings and flaming hot monster munch

 

not at the same time of course

 

and it has to be a family sized bag of onion rings too the cheap kind from asda after eating them you can smell onions on your fingers for days, a bit like if you have used crap toilet paper and unexpectedly fingered your own anus

[ChutneyLove]

1st Ready Salted

2nd Prawn Cocktail Skips

3rd Scampi Fries

[granite sheep]

Does anyone remember the "Really Ruthless Crisps" back in the 90s? Extremely spicy crisps, the Chicken Vindaloo was by far the best tho.

[donjb]

Roast Beef and Mustard Brannigans are the crisp of all crisps.

[donjb]

 

 

 

Indeed.

Only issue is not enough shops sell them. I remember for a while you used to be able to get big bags of them but not seen them in years.

[Tyrant]

It's a complex question. The answer depends on what crisps they are. Some of my favourites:

 

 

 

 

 

[dave_min]

Roysters are excellent.

[The Cockney Don]

Bacon Fries
