CycleChat Investigates - Crisps

[Edwardoka]

Since no-one is joining the hallowed democratic principle of voting for the least obnoxious compromise candidate, I have reverted my vote to SnV.

I always suspected the forum had some wrong'uns but 43.2% thinking that the best flavour of crisps is Satan's Sack shows just how deep the rot goes. 😢

Looking at your avatar - I would have expected your vote to be for ‘C&O Dog Breath’ flavour?

A pug dressed as Indiana Jones is a representation of my whimsy, my love of adventure and my face, not my taste in crisps

I only eat crisps with beer and if I am in the pub and they have Prawn Cocktail I am a happy man.

A glass of sweet prosecco would seem more appropriate!

I don't know if this has been addressed yet, and quite frankly I can't be arsed to check, but the sooner we return to cheese 'n' onion = green and salt 'n' vinegar = blue, the better the world will be. A return to sanity, if you will.

It’s Walkers who are the splitters, and always have been. If they are the de facto arbiter of U.K. crisps then everyone else is wrong.

The vote ends in a few hours, and it looks like a travesty. Just because 52% vote cheese and onion doesn't mean theres a mandate to make us eat them too. Wheres Gina Miller when you need her?

 

[Randomnerd]

Travesty. As someone else said upthread, they can’t even stick to one packaging colour. You know when its red its ready salted. Travesty.

Can 38 Cyclechatters be horribly wrong?
Yes, they can.

 

[figbat]

You seriously think that a population that can vote in Johnson or Brexit can be trusted with this properly important matter? Perhaps you should have stated from the start that this was advisory only and not binding.

I like a lot of the flavours but if i could only choose one to eat for the rest of my life, it would be ready salted.

C&O are a bit weak unless Seabrook make them, but whatever happened to Seabrook's Cheesy flavour?

also in the weak department is:
Roast Chicken
Smoky Bacon
Prawn Cocktail (it's just sugar... that is not the savoury snack i expect to find inside a crisp packet)

S&V are perfect for that prince of foods, the crisp sandwich; ideally a soft white bun,bap,barm (delete as appropriate) with an obscene amount of butter and an entire pack of crisps.

Other notable flavours include:
Marmite, who doesn't like Marmite???
Seabrook's Canadian Ham
Seabrook's Worcestershire Sauce
Aldi's SS Beef & Horseradish
Brannigan's Beef and Mustard

My nana didn't like salt, so she always bought Salt & Shake and ate them naked which meant she had an endless supply of little blue salt sachets. On the rare occasion I find a pack of Salt & Shake, i will eat them naked too... they're surprisingly tasty, if a tad on the mild side.

Not sure if Tayto crisps have been mentioned yet. As kids we went on hols to Ireland, and heaven was a bottle of pop and a bag of Taytos. Only remember the cheese and onion ones, and may have only been available over there. Man, they were delicious. Also, as I recall, Irish chocolate and ice cream was way better than the English stuff - much more creamy tasting. I'm in danger of dribbling on the keyboard now.

Another crisp addict here.

Salt & vinegar are my number one. The more poncy the better!

M&S prawn cocktail are superb.

And I am partial to Burts Thai sweet chilli.

up thread someone mentioned vegetable crisps. I love the beetroot ones (though I don’t like beetroot). I ate some for lunch one day. Maybe an hour later I had a pee, I thought I had bladder cancer. My dear son reminded me about eating all the beetroot crisps..... that’ll learn me!

Radcliffe and Maconie do crisps on the radio. Compulsory listening at the weekend.

it absolutely is!

 

[Oldhippy]

Cheese and onion are wrong! Salt and vinegar are the best.

A mate of mine used to work in a dairy. He hasn't let a drop of milk pass his lips since then - about 40 years ago!

A mate of mine used to work in a car factory and he's had loads of cars. Some people eh ?
