      They were class, to be fair. And for a while every pub in the country seemed to stock them. Now… where?

    Scampi’n’Lemon Nick Naks, but if the shop doesn’t have them, Prawn Cocktail. I actually prefer how sour Prawn Cocktail is but as the Nick Naks are rarer to find, they defacto get top choice.

    Both of these are strong flavours that are really tangy and full of umami, and best of all both are vegan too. More crisps should have these qualities.

    It was the Brannigans Beef and Mustard but that’s just showing my age.

    Now?

    Prolly the Tesco own brand Beef and Horseradish

    Why?

    They actually taste of something. Most of the population are basic as as fuck and can’t handle flavour

      I still daydream about the Brannigans beef and mustard, nothing is ever going to touch that greatness again

    If I had to save one flavour it would probably be Cheese & Onion. However, there’s so many excellent varieties out there beyond the old guard.

    I’ve been off crisps completely for a month as part of my diet. I’ve lost nearly 2kg. Which is great, but fuck I miss them. I’m going cold turkey until the October holidays. Probably easier getting the jab to be honest, as crisps are my like crack to me.

    Most recent fave flavour was the Walker’s Jalapeno & Nacho Cheese crinkle cuts. They go amazing with beer. And therein lies the problem.

    Everyday? It had to be salt & vinegar. So many bangers to choose from, too: McCoy’s, Discos, Pringles, supermarket own-brand twirls, Chipsticks…

    If I want a special treat, though? I recently discovered Croky À L’Ancienne Sweet Paprika and let me tell you, they blow every other paprika crisp out of the water. Don’t know what they’re doing over there in Belgium but it’s truly a game changer.

    Beef monster munch. Because I have spent over 40 years honing my crisp palette, no other crisp (technically, corn snack) comes close to the satisfaction of Beef monster munch.

    Now I know that right now, many of you are screaming “NOOOOO IT’S PICKLED ONION, YOU KNOBHEAD” and those people have a point, but they just haven’t eaten enough beef.

    If you’re even mentioning flaming hot, you can get to fuck.

  • The best potato chip I have had is the most recent Lay’s promo flavor, Brazillian Garlic Sauce.

    Those suckers taste like a crispy variant of the mashed potatoes I make at home. It’s even buttery! It’s soooo good, and I hate that it’s just a promo flavor and not something they will keep around forever.

    Roast chicken for me if we’re speaking generally. Salt & vinegar chipsticks however are easily the most addictive crisps.

    Walkers are utterly evil and a product of Satan’s manky arse (because of their complete madness around packet colours). But, their pickled onion crisps make your mouth know you’re alive.

    Discos-level salt and vinegar is top of the league

    (Thai sweet chilli sensations are also pretty elite)

    Why are others wrong? Clearly scared of their own tastebuds
