Favourite Crisps

Gwynston

Recently bought Kettle Chips new variety: Chicken and Rosemary. I wasn't expecting much as chicken flavour crisps are usually too salty and artifical tasting, but reading the blurb on the back, these are made using real chicken stock (not suitable for vegetarians!) and no MSG.

And they're delicious!

I hadn't had Kettle Chips for a while and I have to say the actual crisp quality is much better than any other "handcooked" imitators, which tend to be overly greasy....

Spice rings, meanies or the old Perri pan fried salt and vingear when they put tons of flavour on. Used to burn the taste buds off, mmmmm.

Used to be fond of Smiths Scampi Fries and Bacon Bites, but they're not easy found.

Marks and Spencers handcooked crisps in Roqufort and bacon flavour are my ultimate fave but I don't know if they really count, as you can only get them in m and s.

Otherwise, Buffalo Hunky Dory's get my vote!

How do you cook crisps with yore hands?

Quality

A nice pack of monster munch, especially when they get stuck on your teeth and you have to unlodge them with your tongue, and there is always one extra spicy one in the pack MMMMMMMmmmmm

Yeah, but the smell of them is so hard to get rid of afterwards. I vow never to eat them at lunch in work before a meeting again!

Virtous monks wear giant heat proof gloves and hold the crisps in the boiling oil for the required time and then lay them tenderly on trays where they're put in a bag for me to eat.

Eating a bag now actually, after a trip to M and s for Christmas food. MMMM!

Any flavour of McCoys. The new Mexican Chili ones are great.
A nice bag of pub Tayto, always seem to taste better in pubs.

Absolutley despise Snax,euurgh. Had a fairly lengthy association with Hot Lips when I was in school but now nothing can beat a bag of McCoys and a cup of coffee in Urlingford on the way home.

meanies love them so i do, and i do agree with bigkev mcCoys are yummy eps the chedder ones.

Tayto - Cheese and Onion.... The 'Original'

(Chipsticks are a close second)

+1

Think theie ad campaign for a Mrs Tayto is a bit stupid though. As well as that Simon Delaney, the actor, must be stuck for work if he is going arond Ireland in a bus to find Mrs Tayto....

overexcitedaj

ah it has to be walker salt and vinegar. Nothing beats them really

I used always get a few packs in UCD from the vending machines under the library. brilliant crisps.

Nik naks were a rip off of King Crunchos.

Those Crunchos (hot dog flavoured) were something else.

Real McCoys Cheese N Onion are decent.

star-pants

Bikers
Spicy Rings/Thai Rings
S&V Frisps/discos
French Fries
Johnnie Onion Rings
Mighty Munch (cuz tayto sold the name monster munch to walkers but theirs don't taste the same)
Hot Lips

I can't eat a lot of the regular crisps anymore as they're cooked in 'sunflower oil' - thus they taste oily and my stomach says 'booourns' when I eat em. But I'm an S&V girl

Yep, my favourites, until they changed them and made them way less crunchy.
