CycleChat Investigates - Crisps

[Drago]

Crisps are my secret weakness. For some people its chocolate, for others it's cocaine, but for me it is sweet, crunchy, tasty, juicy crisps.

But lo! Which is the best flavour? Time for the wise minds and deep thinkers of CycleChat to flex their brains again. The entire future of the savoury snack indusrty rests upon this debate.

No smokey bacon?

I’m not sure I’ve come across a fried/baked potato/maize snack I didn’t like.

No smokey bacon?

Oh, yes! Walkers SB is divine, most other bacon-flavoured snacks are also good. Frazzles are decent enough but are really a poor facsimile of Smith’s Bacon Flavour Fries.

Use to eat loads of crisps till I went to the doctor's about 20 years ago and he gave me a right roasting for eating them , hardly touch them these days

Biggs scoffed them all.

With you @Drago
You can’t beat a crisp
But it’s all context. Juicy summer pint in a beer garden? Ready Salted. Ploughman’s lunch? Fancy heritage cider vinegar avec sea salt. Noisy white bread sarnie? Roast chicken.
All crisps are not equal though.

This, where’s the Smokey or crispy bacon? Never mind obscure BBQ.

[Ming the Merciless]

And crinkled or plain crisps?

They arent worthy of mention because they are not crisps - they are cancer in a bag.

Only if you smoke them. Some mis interpret Smokey as an instruction on how to consume.

 

[Tail End Charlie]

Salt and vinegar for me, although I don't often have them. Preferably some sea salt with balsamic vinegar. I've been known to dip crisps in balsamic vinegar. Other flavours are just so fake.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Odd fact. Bacon crisps have more salt in them than ready salted.

 

[PK99]

Plain unsalted with a blue twist of salt in the packet.

Or best of all. Thinly sliced on a mandolin on the long dimension, very large, raw potato, excess starch washed off, dried in a tea towel, tossed in melted butter, Malden sea salt sprinkled over and roasted in a hot oven till crsip.

Poncy but orgasmic!
