TESCO own-brand are my favourites now. Pulled pork crisps, I saw today!

Tudor were the crisp of choice when I was a lad. Wonderful brand. Hot dog and mustard! lamb and mint sauce! pickled onion!

I went for Seabrooks and Brannigans here. I hate Walkers and agree with Gradual.

I like BBQ-flavored chips. Brand doesn't matter all that much to me.

Another here for Kettles, though I also love Seabrooks.

Someone also does a great Guinness (actually steak in Guinness) flavour one, but I forget who.

Marmite used to let Walkers make them and then stopped dealing with Walkers, Unilever instead putting them out under its own Marmite name. What does that tell you about Walkers, hey? Pure evil.

Green salt n vinegar? Blue cheese & onion?

Fuck off.


Too fucking right! They turned the established order on its head for no good reason. Everyone was perfectly happy with blue for salt 'n' vinegar before. It's all wrong, as if Pele had slotted the ball through Bobby Moore's legs after all.

Haven't had any since 1981, Tayto's cheese and onion crisps were the best crisps I'd then eaten.

Suspect they were coated with substances that I now would avoid. Dr Markus, are these still great crisps?

I got into those 'Lays Baked Potato' crisps some time ago. Yum. Taste like baked potato.

I like Walkers and Seabrook's too. Nothing wrong with Walker's.
Heyyyy!

Although I try all kinds of fancy and expensive brands of "hand cooked" crisps I always come back to Walkers simply because I think they taste better.

I will admit that I do prefer homemade. I used to always make my own. I cut them a hair thicker than commercial chips and seasoned them with garlic, rosemary and either Herbes de Provence - or jalapeno salt. They are in fact, healthier and cheaper, and they are very easy to make but we have poor ventilation in our kitchen here so the smoky factor means I don't fry my own very often these days.

My favorite commercial brand is Laura Scudders -- I particularly love Scudder's thick cut ridged potato chips with my homemade spring onion dip. Lays is a runner up and my preference for thin chips or flavored chips these days. When I had teeth that could take them, I liked Tim's Cascade chips. They are thick cut, kettle fried and come in a variety of flavo(u)rs....Dill Pickle, Hawaiian Luau and Jalapeño are my favorites from Tim's offerings.

From British goods shops I've tried... Walkers, Roysters and KP. I thought Walkers WAS Lays, just the UK version so I'm surprised to see Lay's on there. I liked Walkers.

Course potato sticks are pretty good, too. I have a carton of these unopened on my kitchen table right now calling, "Jimbo. Oh, Jimboooo."

They were my wife's favorites when she was growing up (and out).

Do Smiths and Golden Wonder still exist? I haven't seen them for decades.
