Why are Walkers Cheese & Onion and Salt & Vinegar crisps in the wrong packets?

Message Bookmarked

Common sense tells us that Cheese & Onion are in the green packet, and Salt & Vinegar are in the blue packet. Walkers have got this the wrong way round, and it bugs me. I like C&O, but hate S&V, so them being mixed up makes me slightly anxious. And they are the wrong way round, right?

Or is it just me?

― Johnney B (Johnney B), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 10:43 (twenty years ago)

Yeah this bugs me alot too. Also Walkers crisps are horrible. I only like their Ready Salted.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 10:45 (twenty years ago)

Walkers Worcester Sauce are great. Mind you, I think blue is the right colour for cheese and onion, so what do I know?

― caitlin (caitlin), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 10:50 (twenty years ago)

In New Zealand salt and vinegar = green. Also I don't think we get cheese and onion because it sounds like the most disgusting flavour ever.

― webber (webber), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 10:51 (twenty years ago)

No, no, salt and vinegar is the most disgusting flavour ever.

― caitlin (caitlin), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 10:53 (twenty years ago)

You guys, Seabrooks.

― Jarlr'mai (jarlrmai), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 10:54 (twenty years ago)

you wacky british!

― webber (webber), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 11:01 (twenty years ago)

get one packet of Walker's "Sensations" Roasted Onion and balsamic vinegar flavour crisps, & forget all other crisp flavours, fools.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 11:04 (twenty years ago)

(Damn, I can't believe I just wrote that!!)

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 11:05 (twenty years ago)

adam and joe did this. i can't remember the upshot but they spoke to walkers, who were really lame.

― N_RQ, Tuesday, 3 May 2005 11:08 (twenty years ago)

Mmmm, Mr Pashmina is OTM

― caitlin (caitlin), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 11:09 (twenty years ago)

I find the Sensations crisps have horrible after effects on my teeth.

― dog latin (dog latin), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 11:57 (twenty years ago)

we had 'Taytos' in the pub yesterday and this included a bag of each of the above but i can't remember (despite commenting at the time) whether they followed the Walkers or the Smiths scheme of things.

Made Of Money more like.

bloke here at work keeps borrowing crisps from my stash and insists on replacing them with kettle chips from M&S which are 4 times more expensive and 1/4 as good (too crunchy, like eating teeth).

― koogs (koogs), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 12:25 (twenty years ago)

They aren't that expensive!!

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 12:47 (twenty years ago)

& yeah, those kettle chips are pretty vile, aren't they.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 12:48 (twenty years ago)

I second the Seabrooks big-up

― Ste (Fuzzy), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 12:51 (twenty years ago)

any crisps in a bag: messy and dud
walkers need to get themselves onto the tubes wagon

― Slumpman (Slump Man), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 12:53 (twenty years ago)

> They aren't that expensive!!

can't find details. one place says 20% more than normal crisps but i think that's talking about the big bags. still, 20%! (i buy the marmite ones 6 at a time from safeways ~= 16p a packet)

(they also tend to be less vegetarian friendly than the non-posh crisps)

(which leads me to another criticism - tora bora tomkinson)

― koogs (koogs), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 13:27 (twenty years ago)

I only buy the little bags! (I bought a big bag once, thingking "I'll save some for later", but of course I scoffed the lot in one go & felt sick!)

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 13:28 (twenty years ago)

Multi-bags are the way to go. I buy 30 at a time and stick them in my draw at work. 10p a packet? Mustn't grumble.

― Johnney B (Johnney B), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 13:32 (twenty years ago)

anyway, brown bags=meat flavour

always.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 13:40 (twenty years ago)

and before you say it, the Walkers Roast Chicken bags are not yellow they are very very very light brown. kthnxbye

― Ste (Fuzzy), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 13:41 (twenty years ago)

Walkers crisp are rub
I think Kettle Chips are great
Seabrooks are the best.

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 14:05 (twenty years ago)

I just slice potatos very thin. salt them lightly, then stuff several in my mouth and gargle with vegetable oil and vinegar. Based on my experience, green would seem the proper colour for Salt and Vinegar crisps.

― Aimless (Aimless), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 14:24 (twenty years ago)

Seabrooks pickled onion are scrumptious.

Green is an oniony colour. Don't ask me to justify this.

― Rumpy Pumpkin, Tuesday, 3 May 2005 14:25 (twenty years ago)

when i was a little lad i used to love Golden Wonder, especially the curry flavoured Ringo's. I think the Ringo's now aren't so good.

Seabrooks pickled onion are scrumptious.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 14:27 (twenty years ago)

I also always get the colours the wrong way around on this, too - I like S&V as well, but they go better with certain kinds of sandwiches.

― Lapdog Shoesnog (kate), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 11:54 (twenty years ago)

Cheese and Onion crisp sandwich = food of the gods.

― Johnney B (Johnney B), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 12:26 (twenty years ago)

Well, with egg mayo sandwich, cheese and onion crisps go best. With cheese and onion sandwich, salt and vinnegar is required.

― Lapdog Shoesnog (kate), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 12:28 (twenty years ago)

I always eat Prawn COcktail with ALL sandwiches. The flavour beats everyone up - it's like cleaning your palette but in reverse.

― Johnney B (Johnney B), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 12:34 (twenty years ago)

Yes, but PRAWNS... even crisps that have been shown pictures of prawns and told to "make like this" would make me blow up in a mess of hives.

― Lapdog Shoesnog (kate), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 12:38 (twenty years ago)

Prawn cocktail crisps neither contain prawns or taste anything like prawn cocktail. Goodness knows who figured that flavouring out, and what they were trying to make at the time.

― Johnney B (Johnney B), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 12:39 (twenty years ago)

I still don't trust them. I would be allergic to the word "prawns" on the package. I mean, I got a reaction to supposedly vegetarian prawn crackers at a Thai restaurant once!

― Lapdog Shoesnog (kate), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 12:41 (twenty years ago)

Easiest way to improve cheese & onion crisps: put a pickled egg in the bag and shake it about for a bit. Eat egg then crisps.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 13:14 (twenty years ago)

these colours make no sense and fill me with unease! australian flavour colourchart:

blue - salted
green - chicken
yellow - cheese & onion
purple - salt & vinegar
orange - BBQ

― haitch (haitch), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 13:28 (twenty years ago)

CHICKEN?!?!?!?

― Lucretia My Reflection (Lucretia My Reflection), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 13:28 (twenty years ago)

GREEEN???

(I feel like Peter Kay shouting 'garlic??? bread????')

― Lucretia My Reflection (Lucretia My Reflection), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 13:29 (twenty years ago)

yeah green+chicken makes absoloutely no sense whatsoever. End world now.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 13:32 (twenty years ago)

It's the purple vinegar that weirds me right out.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 13:32 (twenty years ago)

b-b-but cheese + onion is almost certainly more yellow than green!!

cheese = yellow
onion = white
chicken = ...flesh I guess. BUT who would eat chips from a flesh-coloured bag?? green looks nice, hence chicken = green. simple!

― haitch (haitch), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 13:38 (twenty years ago)

don't you remember the rhyme? Chicken & green should never be seen

― Ste (Fuzzy), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 13:40 (twenty years ago)

Ready salted crisps with a salad. Right or wrong?

― Rumpy Pumpkin, Wednesday, 4 May 2005 13:56 (twenty years ago)

Walkers Squares have the colours the other way round to normal Walkers, just to confuse things. I got a pack of green+yellow Squares out of the Reduced To Clear basket today (so I was far too busy looking at the new price sticker to read the packet) and bit into them expecting salt and vinegar.

Fairly sure Taytos are also green for cheese and onion, but I don't know about the salt and vinegar.

Multipacks are not the way to go until someone invents a dispenser I can insert multipacks, biscuit packets, entire weekly shops etc into which will only give me one item a day and won't let me eat the whole lot within half an hour of buying them, murmuring "just one more... two left, can't leave two in the kitchen or people will know I bought a multipack and ate four... oh now there's only one left and it would be stupid to leave it lying around..."

― Rebecca (reb), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 14:18 (twenty years ago)

"Ready salted crisps with a salad. Right or wrong?"

YES YES YES!!!!!!

Also heavenly, cheese+onion crisps with cold beef and horseradish sandwich....

― JTS, Wednesday, 4 May 2005 20:04 (twenty years ago)

this thread is responsible for me buying salt and vinegar crisps for two days running now.

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 20:11 (twenty years ago)

& yeah, those kettle chips are pretty vile, aren't they

The standard flavours are good, esp: Salsa & Mosquito, but the seasonal limited editions are pretty meh.

Also search: Jonathan Crisp
: Poco Loco tortilla chips

― Ben Dot (1977), Thursday, 5 May 2005 01:22 (twenty years ago)

I can do without Mosquito flavored chips, I think.

― Andre Dawson (deangulberry), Thursday, 5 May 2005 01:24 (twenty years ago)

one year passes...

Mmmmm, crisps.

Does anybody find multi-pack crisps are less 'flavoury' than single packs?

I've experienced this with all Walkers crisps especially Square.

― Rumpsy Pumpsy (Rumpie), Friday, 26 May 2006 10:07 (nineteen years ago)

well, they're cheaper

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 26 May 2006 10:11 (nineteen years ago)

Mmm, I love squares, haven't had a packet for ages.

I feel that quavers are a bit underappreiciated.

― chap who would dare to be a nerd, not a geek (chap), Friday, 26 May 2006 10:14 (nineteen years ago)

No love for Hula Hoops?

― Samuel KB Amphong (Dada), Friday, 26 May 2006 10:17 (nineteen years ago)

My son got cheapo fake Quavers in a party bag last week and they were even better than real Quavers. I think they probably came from Lidl.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Friday, 26 May 2006 10:20 (nineteen years ago)

Hula Hoops are the crisp of the gods. Them and Golden Wonder tomato sauce flavour - not Walkers' nasty Heinz tomato ketchup flavour ones. Mmmmmm.

(and those onion & balsamic vinegar Sensations Pashmina mentioned up there)

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 26 May 2006 10:21 (nineteen years ago)

My current favourtites are Sainsburys Potato Squares. No other Ready Salted Potato Snack even comes close! (2 bags for a £)

― Rumpsy Pumpsy (Rumpie), Friday, 26 May 2006 10:25 (nineteen years ago)

Worcester sauce

― beanz (beanz), Friday, 26 May 2006 10:25 (nineteen years ago)

Had the strangest flavour of crisps last night - mango chili. Not sure it worked.

― The Minimal Criminal (kate), Friday, 26 May 2006 10:30 (nineteen years ago)

Where d'you pick those up?

― beanz (beanz), Friday, 26 May 2006 10:32 (nineteen years ago)

Some cornershop in Shoreditch.

― The Minimal Criminal (kate), Friday, 26 May 2006 10:33 (nineteen years ago)

I've just discovered ciao.co.uk where people take time to write lengthy crisp reviews like this

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Friday, 26 May 2006 10:36 (nineteen years ago)

Mini-Pringles are the worst thing ever. They're weeny! And there's hardly any of them!

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 26 May 2006 10:38 (nineteen years ago)

Is that the Kettle Chip ones Kate?

― Rumpsy Pumpsy (Rumpie), Friday, 26 May 2006 10:45 (nineteen years ago)

No love for Hula Hoops?

goes without saying. Plain, obviously.

― chap who would dare to be a nerd, not a geek (chap), Friday, 26 May 2006 10:46 (nineteen years ago)

There's so much pleasure involved in eating a Hula Hoop beyond just the actual taste of 'em

― No Ring Goes Like a Ringo Goes (Dada), Friday, 26 May 2006 10:54 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, Rumpie. I kinda wish I'd got the buffalo mozarella ones instead. But I thought these ones would be less chilli and more mango. I love mango.

― The Minimal Criminal (kate), Friday, 26 May 2006 11:04 (nineteen years ago)

I just can't imagine mango working as a crisp flavour. Seems too sweet, but I don't want to start a chocolate crisp argument by saying that...

― Craig Gilchrist (Craig Gilchrist), Friday, 26 May 2006 11:06 (nineteen years ago)

oh yeah, and OTM about hula hoops. eatin them is about so much more than just flavour.

― Craig Gilchrist (Craig Gilchrist), Friday, 26 May 2006 11:07 (nineteen years ago)

I had some [something I can't remember, maybe cheddar] and mango chutney flavoured ones a couple of months ago. They were good - really mango-ey. There were also [something I can't remember] and chorizo flavoured ones in the same range, which were manky.

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 26 May 2006 11:11 (nineteen years ago)

yeah, cheese & mango chutney or something mccoy's specials, I think

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 26 May 2006 11:13 (nineteen years ago)

Ooh, those sound good, Ailsa! The ones I had should be a nice sweet and sour taste - like mango and curry - but they just didn't work, I would imagine cheese and chutney would be great, though.

― The Minimal Criminal (kate), Friday, 26 May 2006 11:15 (nineteen years ago)

Add to the magical properties of hula-hoops the fact that they are a pretty good hangover cure.

― chap who would dare to be a nerd, not a geek (chap), Friday, 26 May 2006 11:15 (nineteen years ago)

I want some just now, actually. Unfortunately all I have in the way of crisps is horrible stupid pointless mini-Pringles.

Bah, I'll have to go to the shop.

(x-post YES! I have no idea why that is, but they are!)

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 26 May 2006 11:17 (nineteen years ago)

Really? Wow, they're like aspirins or sumthin', new uses for them are being discovered everyday (xpost)

― No Ring Goes Like a Ringo Goes (Dada), Friday, 26 May 2006 11:18 (nineteen years ago)

Walkers do Mango Chutney poppadom type things I'm sure.

― Rumpsy Pumpsy (Rumpie), Friday, 26 May 2006 11:18 (nineteen years ago)

(xxpost) Chap you are so right! The sad part is that people at work know now to buy them for me when I am hungover! Of all the Hula Hoops the leader of the pack (pun most definitely intended) is BBQ BEEF. Salty, tangy and filling. How I love them. In fact there's a packet next to me at my desk... taunting me... teasing me... Rolling it's shiny foil bits at me... OH GOD!!! *POUNCES*

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Friday, 26 May 2006 11:19 (nineteen years ago)

Ah, but if we're getting into poppadom thingeys, then I'm all about the ones you get at Sam Smiths pubs. Those are the godking of snacks.

― The Minimal Criminal (kate), Friday, 26 May 2006 11:22 (nineteen years ago)

Oooh - tried the new Gourmet Pringles?

I had the Steak ones (nice) and the King Prawn and Garlic (downright peculiar). I think there's another flavour but it didn't catch my attention whatever it was.

― Rumpsy Pumpsy (Rumpie), Friday, 26 May 2006 11:25 (nineteen years ago)

I don't have a Sam Smith pub :~(

HATE those Sahara nuts you get in the pub though. Hate them.

― Rumpsy Pumpsy (Rumpie), Friday, 26 May 2006 11:26 (nineteen years ago)

You do! Mono is a Sam Smiths pub. I have no idea if they do poppadum thingeys though.

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 26 May 2006 11:29 (nineteen years ago)

Is that the one near the tattoo place?

I'm not going if they don't have poppadom thingies....

― Rumpsy Pumpsy (Rumpie), Friday, 26 May 2006 11:33 (nineteen years ago)

The poppadom thingeys have really pretty bags, too. A lady in a beautiful sari with all these amazingly coloured bags of spices around her. Maybe the bag is half the appeal.

― The Minimal Criminal (kate), Friday, 26 May 2006 11:35 (nineteen years ago)

It's in Kings Court, where Cantina del Rey used to be. Tattoo places aren't really a good reference point for me, I'm afraid. It's a pub with a record shop inside - how can you *not* want to go?

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 26 May 2006 11:35 (nineteen years ago)

Cantina del Ray is GONE?

― Rumpsy Pumpsy (Rumpie), Friday, 26 May 2006 11:37 (nineteen years ago)

BUT there are other Mexican restaurants whereas there aren't other Sam Smiths pubs with record shops inside and (possibly) poppadum thingeys!

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 26 May 2006 11:39 (nineteen years ago)

Where do people stand on kettle chips? I prefer the subtler flavours - my favourites are black peppercorns and yoghurt & green onion.

― chap who would dare to be a nerd, not a geek (chap), Friday, 26 May 2006 11:39 (nineteen years ago)

Where do people stand on kettle chips?

I totally read this as "Why do people stand on kettle chips?"

― No Ring Goes Like a Ringo Goes (Dada), Friday, 26 May 2006 11:42 (nineteen years ago)

Hmmm, true.

We have a Chiquitos now! (which was great on the opening night and has become pretty meh now)

― Rumpsy Pumpsy (Rumpie), Friday, 26 May 2006 11:42 (nineteen years ago)

Generally, I love Kettle Chips. But some of their flavours can be a bit overpowering. I love the black pepper and sea salt or whatever it is.

― The Minimal Criminal (kate), Friday, 26 May 2006 11:43 (nineteen years ago)

You could easily stand on Kettle Chips, they're hard enough to use as segs.

― Rumpsy Pumpsy (Rumpie), Friday, 26 May 2006 11:43 (nineteen years ago)

I can't make my mind up about whether making Hula Hoops bigger was a good thing or not. On balance I think the small ones are better.

Kettle Chips are sore. Food shouldn't hurt.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Friday, 26 May 2006 11:57 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, food should hurt, come on and make it HURT SO GOOD, kettle chips!!!

Mono isn't a proper Sam Smiths pub. I'm pretty sure all it does is Hefnerweisse and that gross organic cola.

I hate hula hoops, for the record.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 26 May 2006 12:08 (nineteen years ago)

It does Sam Smith's Stout as well. Does it do Kate's poppadums though? We should have a FAP there and find out. (It's a bit out of the way for mid-week sticker swapping, I think).

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 26 May 2006 12:10 (nineteen years ago)

I'm not sure I know how to order food without animals in it.

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 26 May 2006 12:16 (nineteen years ago)

Review says they have to-die-for potato fritters. Or potato cakes. Something made of potato, I can't remember.

Thai curry. Thai food would be great if it wasn't for lemongrass. It's so overpowering.

Mono is no longer a proper Sam Smith's. They changed over to Scottish Courage last year, hence the ditching of Ayingerbrau for horrible Kronenbourg Blanc and the introduction of nasty Fosters. No more lovely Sam Smith's Sovereign Best either, just McEwans 80. They do at least still do Sam Smith's stout, and they have bottled SS.
We should petition Paul the bar manager to get back with Sam Smiths.

― Stew (stew s), Friday, 26 May 2006 13:21 (nineteen years ago)

In Sam Smiths pubs in London Ayingerbrau is now called Alpine lager, which makes it sound like a cheap supermarket's own brand.

Last night at the Coles I found this promo brand of Simpsons Twisties... except they werent Twisties, they were called HotDogs!

Little brownish sausage shaped cheezels,and little yellow half-bun shaped ones... and you can fit the saussie in the bun and eat it.

Num. Only, they didn't at all taste of hot dog.

― big papa cigarettes (╓abies), Friday, 9 January 2009 15:08 (seventeen years ago)

Sort of. Walkers have been a crisp company in the UK for... fucking ages, but they were bought over by PepsiCo (who own Lay's) in the early 90s and switched the Walkers branding to match that of Lay's. I dunno if they changed the product itself to match Lay's, though.

LIVEBLOGGING THE NEW FLAVOURS

Cajun squirrel: reminds me of Brannigan's Ham and Pickle with a slight BBQ sauce edge. Cannot vouch for authenticity. Would buy again but would not miss if withdrawn.

― talk me down off the (ledge), Tuesday, 3 February 2009 14:35 (sixteen years ago)

You have eaten cajun squirrel?

― talk me down off the (ledge), Tuesday, 3 February 2009 14:41 (sixteen years ago)

Crispy Duck and Hoisin. Wow these are quite authentic, I feel like I can even taste the cucumber and spring onion. The duck is less tangible though, and unfortunately the hoisin, which is by far the strongest flavour, tastes kinda stale. Also the overall saltiness just doesn't feel right. Would not buy again.

― talk me down off the (ledge), Tuesday, 3 February 2009 14:41 (sixteen years ago)

the duck is a bit overcooked, i feel.

Must buy. Must buy. Must buy. Must buy. Must buy. Must buy.

― Vicious Cop Kills Gentle Fool (Tom D.), Tuesday, 3 February 2009 14:43 (sixteen years ago)

Chilli and Chocolate. This is not a flavour combination I have experienced before. The chocolate is the first thing you taste, it's like a drinking chocolate powder, i.e. not exactly high quality 90% cocoa fair trade stuff. The chilli is just a standard chilli hotness that comes in at the end and then remains as you go through the packet. Overall feeling is like eating Worcester sauce flavour crisps while drinking hot chocolate. Would not buy again.

Phew I think I need a break now. Join me later for the next exciting installment in this liveblogging adventure!

― talk me down off the (ledge), Tuesday, 3 February 2009 14:47 (sixteen years ago)

are you eating 6 packets back to back?

have had the fish and chips which were, happily, vegetarian. very fishy but not up there with those old fnc crisps that were more biscuity and vinegary.

― koogs, Tuesday, 3 February 2009 14:47 (sixteen years ago)

Builder's Breakfast: omg it is a taste explosion. Supposedly this is bacon, buttered toast, eggs, and tomato sauce. Sadly the bacon is hard to pick out, but the rest of it is all there, yes even the buttered toast. Most of all this tastes like an egg butty with a liberal dose of ketchup. Bacon or no this one is a success, would buy again.

― talk me down off the (ledge), Tuesday, 3 February 2009 16:09 (sixteen years ago)

Onion Bhaji: they've certainly gone to town with the ingredients - coriander, cumin, cayenne papper, fennel seed, cinnamon, cardamom, fenugreek, ginger... I can't pick all of them out but I'm sure I couldn't with genuine bhaji either. Nevertheless these have the taste of authenticity (am I being a crisp rockist here?), and also unlike most of the others, the crisp is an ideal vehicle for this flavour. These are the best so far, I would buy these again, and serve them as a starter when friends come round for curry.

― talk me down off the (ledge), Tuesday, 3 February 2009 16:21 (sixteen years ago)

Btw yes they are all vegetarian.

― Frank Sumatra (NickB), Tuesday, 3 February 2009 16:28 (sixteen years ago)

The final installment, Fish & Chips. Buying a pack of these was my sole reason for leaving the house today - but enough of my tragedy. My first thought upon tasting these was SCAMPI FRIES! and that sensation lasted for the rest of the packet. They're not quite as strong as SCAMPI FRIES! but they do have a shellfishy something that yer basic white fish definitely lacks, and as SCAMPI FRIES! ably demonstrate this is a good flavour for a crisp-type snack. Would buy, if SCAMPI FRIES! were unavailable.

― talk me down off the (ledge), Wednesday, 4 February 2009 14:46 (sixteen years ago)

The final final installment, overall ratings.

Winner: Onion Bhaji, beats Fish & Chips on account of authenticity and originality.

5th: Duck and Hoisin. Never again.
6th: Chilli and Chocolate. Definitely never again.

I bought Onion Bhaji, Cajun Squirrel, Builder's Breakfast and Chilli & Chocolate at lunchtime today. I'd rate them in the same order. The Chilli & Chocolate are one of the worst things I've ever tasted - for the first time in my life I threw an unfinished packet of crisps in the bin.

curry chips are yummy.

are Miss Vickies chips available outside Canada? Their sea salt and malt vinegar chips have ensured I will never abide another brand's attempt.

Walkers saved me when I was in England because I had a terrible craving for ketchup chips and FINALLY on day 4 or 5 of my search found a tiny little bag in a convenience store. Phew! I had a few bags of prawn chips to quell the craving which was close, but not quite the same.

― she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Wednesday, 4 February 2009 20:57 (sixteen years ago)

cajun squirrel were ok. onion bhaji are quite nice. they make me want to eat real onion bhajis though. think i'm with ledge 100% so far.

whsmiths had the duck as well, but not the other two. haven't seen any of them anywhere else.

― koogs, Thursday, 5 February 2009 15:58 (sixteen years ago)

these seem a lot more readily available this week, probably to tie in with the terrible tv adverts.

had the duck this morning. and they were ok. certainly not 'never again'.

― koogs, Tuesday, 10 February 2009 11:42 (sixteen years ago)

Cajun Squirrel > Onion Bhaji > Builder's Breakfast so far for me. The squirrel ones are the only flavour I'd go back to at this stage. Going to try the duck or fish and chips ones at lunchtime but I'm not sure I can face the chilli and chocolate.

the builder's breakfast are... extraordinary but v.sickly after half a bag. buttery, eggy, bacony, tomatoey all in one bag, it's quite an achievement but I wouldn't want to eat another.

bhaji need to tone down the cheese&onion front note and up the actual onion bhaji aftertaste

squirrel are v.greasy and sage-y

chilli and chocolate are not unpleasant, a bit weird, cinnamon & potato wd get you laughed out the masterchef kitchen but... these were the only bag I finished... not very chocolatey it must be said

I was in Dublin airport a few months ago and saw Tayto chips for sale and had a literal lol as in "can they really be called that" and was tempted to try but between jetlag and drunk Glaswegians, still finishing their Irish weekend bender in the terminal with cider and Harp, pounding a bag of said chips and drooling over a girl in a Burger King crown reading a Lennon bio waiting for a flight to London, the temptation was easy to fight off.

It amuses me endlessly that Ireland and Northern Ireland both have their own Tayto made by different companies but with almost the same logo and both proudly proclaiming that they've been around since the 50s, and it's kind of hard to find out which came first.

(I preferred the Nornirsh Tayto to the ones from down south because the ones from down south tasted kind of dusty and weird, but then I realised afterwards that the packet had a tiny hole letting air in where it should've joined up at the corners, so that is probably why they tasted of crisps that had been left in the open air for a month. so they are probably delicious but could stand to take a look at their packaging assembly if you ask me. which you did not and nor did they)
