O' Donnells vs Keoghs crisps

Lionel Messy

I like both but I think the former is better. Good Irish companies, both of them.

I dunno, I was all over O'Donnell's S&V . . . Until I discovered Keogh's! They are just a bit superior I think

Keogh's all the way - it's 100% quality

O'Donnell's all the way for me, the nicest Cheese & Onion crisps on the market imo. We need a poll!

Keogh's, hands down because they aren't sweet like O' Donnell's.
I hate the trend for making crisps sweet.

Tried O'Donnell's, found them hard.

There's a trend lately for hard crisps that I hate.
Keogh's are really nice although hard to find. I know SuperQuinn do them but I don't live near a SuperQuinn. If they were stocked in more shops I'd buy them regularly.

Their Shamrock n Onion (or whatever it was called) were delicious and that's the only flavour I've tried so far

O' Donnells without a doubt.

Love Keoghs Dubliner cheese and onion, the texture, flavour and crunch are just perfect.

Having said that I also like O'Donnells sweet chilli crisps, but keoghs would be my first preference.

Pretty Polly

Keogh's definitely for me, the sea salt and cider vinegar flavour is to die for.

Hande hoche!

Both great crisps. In cheese and onion flavour prefer Keoghs but would give the edge to O'Donnells in the salt and vinegar variety.

Thread crashing here but Tayto Bistro Cheese and Onion are better than both imo.

Keoghs all the way.JC's in Swords always have them on special.

Just after demolishing a bag of Keoghs Dubliner cheese and onion, heaven, absolute heaven.........

Heaven is nice, I grant you that- but if you wish to reach eternal paradise, try Keoghs roast beef and Irish stout flavour.
Has to be one of the best quality crisps I've tasted.

I love both equally. Problem is i've become a crisp snob now and can't eat tayto or hunky dorys anymore!

Nothing like a Tayto ham, onion and cheese toastie. I guess Keoghs are the crisp equivalent of craft beers- on a sunny day, you'll still have a commercial bottle of beer like Sol or Heino or whatever over a craft wheat beer.

O' Donnells were half price last week, picked up a bag S+V. Absolutely fell in love, gorgeous crisps.

Keoghs were on special offer in Tesco today (same flavour), so got a bag. Not a patch on O' Donnells imo, but that's just me.

I'm becoming a bit of a crisp fiend.

Both are pretty good quality crisps to be fair. May lean more toward O'Donnell's however.

where can I get a box of O'Donnells? my wife loves them

And the winner is?

Keoghs. Without a doubt.

O'Donnells' salt and vinegar tastes like- well, any other salt and vinegar crisp. They're like a superior Tayto- but that's all- and anyway, Tayto have already done that.

Keoghs have superior flavouring and they have the consistency of a kettle crisp.

O'Donnells taste more like Marks and Spencer crisps- very good, but not enough to differentiate themselves from a quality crisp.

IMO, O'Donnell's are good as a step up from the mass produced crisp.

It's Keogh's though, if you want a special crisp, especially for nibbles before a meal.

So, Keoghs wins. Hands down.

Have only tried O'Donnel's cheese and onion and I adore them.


Surprisingly if anyone wants a commercial crisp that is somewhere near as good. those King ones in the gold packet are top notch

Ruu

What are the sea salt ones from Keoghs like? I am celiac so would love to know before I give them a go.

ASJ112

They are the best sea salt crips I've ever tried, love that particular flavour so have tried many others.

Passenger

After having a few bags of Keogh's Atlantic Sea Salt & Irish Cider Vinegar I think I'm gonna go with them as my favourite crisp now.

SirDelboy18

Cheese and Onion is in O'Donnells favour no doubt IMO. Salt and Vinegar is a bit more even

Sweet Chilli OD are my favourite at the moment anyway.

skibum

Had a bag of Keoghs Dubliner cheese and Onion last night, delicious, just finished a bag of O'Donnells cheese and onion, and I'm confused ... : love them both, can't decide which is best........

freshpopcorn

I think Keoghs are nicer!

hardCopy

O'Donnell's Cheese and Onion are the best Cheese and Onion flavoured crisps I've tasted and they still taste great after regular consumption. Good strong flavour and plenty of actual potato, I find a lot of the 'fancy', thick cut kettle crisps can be quite bland.

The Keogh's Roast Beef and Ale ones are fantastic but I rarely see them anywhere.

O'Donnell's are now my regular go to crisps, apart from an occasional return to my previous favourite: Hunky Dory Buffalo.

Currently attacking a bag of Keogh's Roast Beef and Irish Stout, ..... not bad but I would prefer Keoghs cheese and onion.

New flavour from O'Donnells... where's the smiley for 'nomnomnom' :D:D

Tried a bag of these today, not bad but I'll probably not try them again
