Search And Destroy: Crisps

Are "Corn snacks" allowed? Nothing quite comes close to gruesomely titled (bacon flavour) Oinks, and they're only 5p. Was there anything more to the cartoons on the back of Space Raiders, or did someone really make up an entire intergalactic war concept just for a couple of 3 frame comic strips?

Wasn't "Miss Vicki" the name of Tiny Tim's wife? Whom he married on the Tonight Show or something?

Destroy: Walkers. And that's just for finishers.

Search: tomato Wheat Crunchies, salt and vinegar Chipsticks, pickled onion Monsta Munch, pizza Pringles, ready salted Patatine San Carlo.

Destroy: anything claiming to have a percentage of fat freeness.

Destroy: Ready Salted crisps - you can't uninvent artificial flavourings you luddite swines.

Did any American readers think "fish and chips" meant fish with a load of crisps? URGH.

Has Emma just proved she is a hideous invading space-mutant, and can we chase her thru the streets and burn her up in a vat of superheated cooking oil?
(Or, er, not?)

destroy: all meat, salt & vinegar, and cheese flavour crisps. and reconstituted corn based snacks. hell, just destroy crisps. they taste inoffensive at best, and are probably sufficiently complicit in the high levels of heart disease around here for walkers to be next through the courts after the cigarette companies have finished.

Bacon Wheat Crunchies are da bomb, Pringles are however evil. flavour is easily Barbeque flavour - in their evil black packets they taste nothing like barbeques.

By the way, we worked out why Gary Linaker was picked for the Brass Eye last wee'character' in the Walkers Crisps adverts after all preys on young kiddies, lurking in the bushes to steal their crisps. Lucky there aren't cherry flavoured crisps eh?

Search: any reconsituted corn snack which sucks the flesh of yr tongue into the body of itself before dissolving

Please stop talking about crisps as they are barred from my new diet.

I would buy any drink which advertised itself with a drunk person, apart from a real ale with a ridiculous drunkard cartoon on the pumphead.

Walkers live forever in my memory for introducing actual nice-looking potatoes into the equation: in the mid-70s, Smiths and Golden Wonder used only potatoes-of-the-thousand-eyes variety, which were very often i. purple, or ii. green.

And search: bags of those fishy old Scampi Fries containing more than 5 fries. And destroy: Cheese Moments, which surely contain the most repulsive cheese-like substance ever to have been imported from space? Some competition here, I know.

I also like the plain ones you get in Europe, no flavour but fried potato, nice.

Brannigans not that greasy IN THEMSELVES: the grease come off the inside of the container stamping itself straight onto the front of the human face forever...

It's all beginning to make sense. Emma does eat dry-roasted peanuts, though. I've seen her.

Why is my name in inverted 'commas'? If you see me do not let me eat peanuts as on telly last nite it said they give you liver cancer and I believe them.

Since potato chips were invented in North America, one wonders what strange evolutionary divergence led to the CRAZY FLAVORS. Did y'all just start dumping weird shit on em as soon as they came off the first boat back?

I've seen individual Seabrook packets in a variety of flavours across Southern England, but never Tomato Ketchup. mmmmm.

One of the greatest things they have across continental Europe but bizarrely not here are massive bags of gorgeous paprika crisps for like 20p. And bolognese flavour. I want a superstate and I want one now.

Last night we had Burgundy and Cheddar (?) Kettle Chips. WINE AND CHEESE IN ONE CRISP FORM! MMMMMMMMMM.

I used to be able to snarf two whole bags of salted Old Dutch potato chips of an afterschool afternoon and actually like the two or three mutant crisps in each bag. And in college lived on bags of Smartfood, the cheese poweder-coated popcorn. Cool ranch Doritos are great through time.

Here I like prawn Skips, cream cheese Nik-Naks, all prawn crackers, popadum crisps, and prawn cocktail crisps. I imagine Brit taste for prawn flavour is down to ingesting prawn crackers from Chinese take- aways or maybe the 'umami' taste bud is more developed here as in Japan. But I don't eat much in the way of processed potato product because they give me spots.

i am thinking that buying them there rather than in "Revidge News" or t'local SPAR would somehow diminish the joy. i asked my friend Tez if he wanted anything from the North as i went up to Blackburn last w/end and he immediately started babbling on about Seabrooks... nope, definitely not the same if bought from poncey "food hall" methinks!

although salt and black pepper kettle chips (recipe having recently reverted back to being vegan-friendly) = yum Hurrah!

or L'EPICERIE DU MAL!!

Beef monster munch in the yellow packet with pink monster.

Smiths Cheese and Onion Square crisps - not Walkers, foil wrap makes them crap.

Scampi and Lemon nik naks, love'd em

Salt and Vinegar Chipsticks, the ones in the sideways packets, dressed up in the style of a newspaper.

****DESTROY****

Walkers CHOCOLATE flavour crisps - limited edition thank god, absolutely repulsive, they had chocolate flavour salt on them, "chocolate flavour salt" I hear you say, Exactly.

Any Doritos, eating them is what I imagine my socks to taste like after doing the great north run.

Any flavour twiglets, the uglier, eviler descendant of the nik nak.

1: "Yes you have made them up. Surely. V"
2: "Amanda [xyz] is out of office until Friday 1st February - In my absence please call the TK Team on 020 xxxx yyyy. (E-mail: blah blah blah). Out of hours or for other Post Production queries please call Post Production Co-ord on 020 zzzz nnnn/mmmm"

Now will you believe me?!?

3: Mark - Sorry - I've never heard of them: they sound disgusting in any case - maybe the inhuman monster responsible for Tangy Toms (the tomato-flavoured corn snack for people without taste buds) produced these in some unspeakable transport of foul creation. Ken
4: Indeed, you have redefined the above concept. By a very spooky coincidence, at the exact moment (well, one of them) your Onyums- related message was sitting in the void waiting for my computer to be turned on, we were telephoned by James Wyllie (the jazz-loving Atlantis High writing man who I believe you have encountered previously) who in his university career used to subsist almost entirely on this delectable tuber-based snack. By the time I realised it was too late to ring him again, but when we see him in a couple of weeks time I will be sure to press him for Onyums related nostalgia which I will then pass on to your archive. Hope all is dandy in your orbit. Belated new year warmth. BenT
5: Quite how this rates as urgent I'm not sure but yes, I remember them. They were the shape of onion rings, with a very strong flavour and strangely shiny surface. Glad to see your using your brain to its full capacity. x bex

Also, WTF were those pizza slice shaped, pizza flavoured crisps that were around like 5-10 years ago, I cant think for the life of me and noone else can. L8ers Matt

paper boy then looks in despair at the gargantuan block of flats he has to climb. HA HA HA. That's what you get for accepting crisps instead of proper wages you thick geordie bastard.

The five flavours available in 150g bags are: Four Cheese & Red Onion, Sea Salt & Cracked Black Pepper, Oven Roasted Chicken & Thyme, Thai Sweet Chilli and Sea Salt & Malt Vinegar. The three flavours available in 40g bags are: Four Cheese & Red Onion, Sea Salt & Cracked Black Pepper and Oven Roasted Chicken & Thyme.

They had these on promo at the uni shop a while ago, presumably as test-marketing or something. They are VILE.

also I completely forgot to stock up on Seabrooks before I left the North. meep. sob. meep.

'Crips' : how I used to pronounce crisps when I was a nipper and found the first 's' a bit too much.

(I bet no-one remembers Farmer Brown's bacon crisps? They were around for a short while in the early 80s.
Advert: Animals: "Farmer Brown, you've got a munchy snack there"
Farmer Brown: "Oo-Arrr!")

2, Josh.

But rejoice beef lovers, as they're doing Beef Monster Munch in yellow packets again!

Final note: Seabrooks? Ugh. Far too salty :o(

(I used to like those 'Fish and Chips' snacks which came in a fake newspapery bag and were actually kind-of-biscuity but in the shape if little fishes and little chips and smothered in salt'n'vinegar)

A company called Humpty Dumpty in the US northeast (though it may be just Maine) makes both ketchup flavoured chips (which I love) and some evil mutant form called "sour cream and clam"**.

(**These may have been discontinued by now - if there's a God, they have been)

However Smith's crisps brought back salt and shake crisps too (using a proper sachet and not the useless paper twist) as a kitsch nostalgic selling point - no, really, we get nostalgic about stuff like that over here, they used to say something like "now crisps can be fun again" on the pack and everything - and because the salt from the sachet tastes fresher and less synthetic. No flavour-them-yourself packets in other flavours, though. I think they were tried but didn't sell very well.

Back to crisps though... I never thought of "Ready Salted" as related to the forefather of salt & shake crisps. I always thought it was just a euphemism for "boring as hell".

Another blast from the past - Salt 'n' Vinegar KP Crisps. Used to have "Brother Crispin" character profile on the back. Now, they were lethal to an unwitting palate.

My need to buy a box of Seabrooks is increasing rapidly.

You can get them in some Irish pubs over here too (eg. the Toucan in Soho). Also, they were selling them in multipacks in Safeway a while ago, in Irish aisle. I don't know if they still are.

I heart the new style bacon fries, Tim and I were discussing them the other day, they may be my dream pub snack (apart from Pig skin)

I've just eaten a packet of crinkled Seabrooks sea salt flavour they were num, I'm in the North you see. The proper Lancashire hotpot was fucking ace too.

A: Me.

As well as Taytos they had various cakes, soda bread, Kelly's biscuits and some other things I can't remember. Probably spiceburgers.

what felicity said about punjab puri -- i would pig an entire enorm bag for myself. i think it was the salt and garlic and the texture. not been many garlic snax, but they've usually been impersonating garlic bread, and cold garlic bread is a dud.

Walkers Turkey & Paxo flavour crisps !

I'm on the salt and shake though, without using the blue packet though, mmm, potato flavoured crisps

Search: All MCoys, Walkers Barbecue, Monster Munch, (esp. pickled onion), prawn crackers (i count these), salt + shake, quavers, space raiders, wotsits (cheesy)

Destroy: All bacon flavours (except Frazzles), Kettle (yes! i've said it!), Asda own brand, chipsticks, skips, wotsits (beef+ prawn cocktail), pringles, wheat crunchies, ANY tomato ketchup flavour

I've still not tried the honey roasted ham flavour though.

destroy: anything that's sweet and/or sour flavoured

www.seabrookcrisps.com "do good mail order" though. Cor I'm hungry. Who fancies lunch at the Head of Steam?

Zut!

I ended up having Japanese pork curry from the excellent K10 on Wardour Street.

(note to self - why didn't you try that with Ally rather than getting all emo?)

(I really, really hate pretzels, personally)

THEY. ARE. AWESOME.

Try some today.

WHAT?? Who asked for these back?? Are they fucking mental? The flavour reconstituted from Satan's own belly button cheese? Who..?
Whyy? Disturbing.

*takes self off to Safeway ready for secret niknak pleasure (to be considerately had well away from Matt)*

Your search - "cheese and pickle wotsits" - did not match any documents.

McCoys Ridge Cut Crisps Limited Edition 6 pack comes in the following 3 flavours

Southern Fried Chicken Wings
Chicken Curry
Chinese Sweet & Sour Ribs

baked lays are not bad. fritos corn chips are the best. but you can only eat two at a time or in your lifetime. cheetos are good for getting cheesy fingers and helping people open their milk cartons at lunch tables and getting the lip of the carton really cheesy so no one can drink it anyway.

The new flavored Triscuits (sundried tomato and olive oil; black pepper & olive oil; roasted garlic) are really really good.

I promised myself I would stop eating crisps for 2013. But can I stop? Like fuck I can.

Pret seem to have stopped doing their curry lime pickle crisps, I don't normally fuck with real life curry lime pickle but they were great.

Co-op Truly Irresistible* Lightly Sea Salted flavour for me today - these are just re-badged Tyrells btw

*oh do fuck off

fuck why did i click on this thread, could murder a bag of hula hoops all of a sudden

ah I just did.

got some fucking A mango/lime pickle crisps from local cheapo freezer shop the other week

also on a semi-related note, god bless Just-Eat.com you are the lazy bachelor's best friend

Seabrooks over rated? That’s fighting talk.

do Seabrooks still do wasabi flavour? they're like the crisps Jesus wd eat

sozziest thing i ever heard

I ate a gigantic pack of these (pictured below) that some people left at my house. I feel dirty.

Oh man, it's the Bacon Nasty's

I feel like americans today don't really respect or appreciate potato chips the way in which they once did. it's sad really

like it's okay to eat them if they have ridges and are a vehicle for some "dip", but if you are just eating a bag of plain unruffled ones then you are automatically the laughing stock of the room, no matter what company you're surrounded by

ever since chips with salsa strutted onto the american snack scene i guess potato chips just aren't "sexy" enough for the average american consumer. again, it's quite sad

is the faux artisan potato chip a thing there?

best ridged crisps = walkers max paprika flavour, goddamn yes

is the faux artisan potato chip a thing there?

yup v much

or "v munch" should i say!

REading about the need for dips to go with “potato chips”, whatever the fuck that is, I feel like America probably would not appreciate the textural joy that is the crisp sandwich.

(tries to remember the bacon-flavoured KP crisp product, unavailable in the UK, which we got terribly addicted to on our last visit to Ireland)

Bacon Jawz! Yeah. We need those over here. And Club Lemon to wash them down.

Oh... I'm meant to be on a diet. And I already ate a bag of Walkers (prawn cocktail) and drank a bottle of Irn Bru. It's going really well, this diet thing. Now if you'll excuse me there's some leftover Chinese takeaway in the fridge.

Idk bacon jawz but club lemon is perfection

I'm getting the same malware warning message when I try to view the entire thread as well.

Great. Now I have to go and source some BBQ Beef flavour hoops. Also their website is flash (ahahaha gedddit? Flash? *gets coat*)

not a club lemon fan myself. that much citrus and sugar gives me a headache, guaranteed.

the fancy crisp really is so disappointing, most of the time. kettle chips are mainly a great way to slice the inside of your mouth to bits, and the flavours don't taste particularly authentic.

the posh pork scratching on the other hand opens up a whole world of competitive quality.

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Pekm5EFbGF8/TAejfTYEzDI/AAAAAAAABjY/wIQfLp5aXE4/s1600/IMG_2898.JPG

these are surprisingly good but you can only eat like five of them before they become gross

most posh crisps seem to just prove how important texture is in our enjoyment of food.

yeah otm about the mouth ravaging qualities

the posh pork scratching on the other hand opens up a whole world of competitive quality.

i somehow contrived to eat only a plate of pork crackling and nothing else for dinner the other week so this post made me feel quite ill

ever since chips with salsa strutted onto the american snack scene i guess potato chips just aren't "sexy" enough for the average american consumer. again, it's quite sad

hahaha, what? Lay's plain potato chips are the #1 snack food in the USA and have been for like 40 years now. Tortilla chips are a distant second.

read the trade papers and then get back to me. when that Whore salsa came into the picture coupla decades back everything changed

i somehow contrived to eat only a plate of pork crackling and nothing else for dinner the other week so this post made me feel quite ill

how did this happen? bad restaurant or burnt dinner?

Man, I wish I had access to a savory snacks magazine. I had a great time once reading a magazine for pizza restauranteurs. As for tortilla overtaking potato in chip sales in the USA, I'm not buyin' it.

well i'd made the pork with the original intention of sandwiches & freezing and while i had meant to have a couple bits for dinner too i got started on the crackling and couldnt stop

Garda this selfloathing gael routine has to fuckin stop man, next you'll be dissing barrys tea and not buying far east magazine ffs

Don't forget to vote

Oh shiiiiiiiit, the biscuits and gravy ones are really good.

Biscuit flavoured chips: guaranteed to confuse a limey.

I wonder if there are UK restaurants that specialize in varieties of American breakfast.

Co-op sea salt and chardonnay vinegar. Try and overcome any instinctive reactions the name might produce, they are tremendous.

http://www.burtschips.com/wp-content/uploads/Hamageddon-40g-small.png

Not bad. More mustardy then Brannigans.

these are great! thanks, scotland!

https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51wSqW5egnL._SX466_.jpg

got them at my favorite store in massachusetts: THE OCEAN STATE JOB LOT. which means they might not have them the next time i go there and i might not be able to find them again.

they aren't really fiery hot. but that's okay. they have the most marvelous chip/crisp texture. perfect mouth feel.

mackie's make fucking great ice-cream too fyi

i don't really eat chips anymore but i used to love these

https://secretmenus.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/jalapeno-cheddar-kettle-chips-291x400.gif

and sorry but i also did like old dutch ketchup chips

Holy God, Torres Selecta Black Truffle has raised the stakes

Here: https://www.souschef.co.uk/products/crisps-with-black-truffle

The holy grail. I've only just finished my first ever pack and I want this every day forever

an intense black truffle punch

you heard

We just came back from Mexico and I’d like to vouch for Pap’s Chiles Mexicanos (chile puya flavour). Amongst the best uh crisps I have ever encountered.

https://i.imgur.com/CdxCRHE.jpg
Mind blown
Basically sour cream and onion with a hint of cool ranch aftertaste
