CycleChat Investigates - Crisps

[welsh dragon]

I do love crisps especially walkers cheese and onion ones. Can't beat them.

Come to think of it, it's been ages since I had a salt and vinegar crisp and salad cream butty. Yum yum.

Roysters T-Bone Steak... In no way represents the actual flavour of T-Bone steaks, but still i like their attempt...

I was considering giving those an honourable mention, but I've not had them for years so don't know how they would fare against my more refined palate. (he says unironically, moments after also saying that he'd die on the hill of Roast Beef Monster Munch)

If they don't taste like T bone steak, then presumably they could be called anything? Roast organic alpaca with Sun dried mushrooms? Wouldn't taste like that either!

It really depends upon the brand.

Agreed. Walkers are consistently the best IMHO, but I like the stronger flavour of Seabrooks cheese and onion.
Walkers pickled onion are another favourite. Tomato sauce or Worcester sauce are nice for a change from the usual.
I am with @Randomnerd on this though:

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.

I was harsh on the fake Roysters family who produce these crisps. They taste of something meaty. A bit like Bisto gravy granules, you know the one that is apparently made with real meat juices... Yes, yes i will go with that one as a fair judgement...

I love crisps, Walker's s+v baked, McCoy crinkles s+v, and I also love meaty flavours and ready salted, I've been known to eat upto three bags a day, although I normally limit myself to one.

Whilst not strictly crisps there's also, Bobby's Spirals, Monster Munch roast beef, and Hoola Hoops.

And straying off topic a fair bit, Mini Cheddars, yum yum. 😊

Walkers 'Max Strong' Hot Chicken Wings are the 'crisps du jour' chez the Nut domicile.

Roysters T Bone are the ambrosia of crisps a close second to tomato flavoured Snaps. Frustratingly only ever available from odd rural service stations.

Tayto cheese and onion.

Forgot about them! Nice level of spice. What is the next one up, is that the jalapeno cheese? They are just a touch too spicy, after 3 bags you tend to lose any sense of taste .

 

[flake99please]

Marmite flavoured crisps... Almost as tasty as marmite coated cashew nuts.

 

[Brandane]

These ones, for whatever reason, I have only ever found for sale in local pubs. Well worth the extra cost of having to wash them down with Guinness .

 

[CanucksTraveller]
