Former Bolton Wanderers goalkeeper Keith Branagan, all the kids remember him

Ardal O'Hanlon's homophobic humanoid cat from Doctor Who would have been a great spokesperson.

All they needed was a revamp, they had that apron tache cunt on the front for yonks. Replace him with someone that speaks to the kids like Cardi B or Peter Duncan.

Can worcester sauce French Fries be found anywhere? Would love to complain that they dont taste like what they used to.
Serious question though, cheers x

Local B & M Bargains here in NI has the 12 12 20 multipacks also. Could very well be the last date.

Yeah - I saw them in a B&Ms in Liverpool today too. I reckon they had remaining stock of the flavouring mix and packaging for the Roast Beef & Mustard and did a last run rather than binning them.

I'm holding out on this being a '6 music' type stunt.

12 12 20. The end of crisps. The end of time. The end.

Just found you can recreate these by sprinkling mustard powder on a papadum and placing it on a slice of Asdas corned beef.

Bought a five pack of the Smoked Ham and Pickle as I figure I'd never eaten them, so I might as well try them while I can. Not really a fan. The overpowering flavour reminds me of Prawn Cocktail Pringles. I'll go back to lentil curls.

Sebastian Cobb

Don't wanna take the crisp thread too far off topic but I've made indian crispy onions for a biryani that i was doing and had some leftovers and they're basically like crack.

KTC sell them dried also.

Seeing as I'm not receiving any crisps from the FB page manager who I sent the story to which then went viral (I didn't ask but then he said he'd managed to get some locally and recommend I go and visit one of the locations but they're all in the North and I'm in the South, and if I had just received a ton of free publicity I would have sent some as gesture but maybe that's just me), if anyone does happen to end up with a packet or indeed a 6 pack of Roast Beef and Mustard that they're willing to sell please do DM me and I would be most grateful. Can cover the cost of the crisps and shipping and maybe a little extra as a thank you.

Had a bag of these at the weekend, jalapeno-flavoured pork crunch. The remnants at the end were possibly the saltiest things I have ever eaten and I could feel my heart crying.

You have a PM.

Surprised no one has mentioned John Wayne as a bewigged Irish-American cop in Scotland Yard as a mascot.

You can still get ham and pickle flavoured Brannigans from Chillingham Food & Wines in Newcastle. I know this because I purchased some a few days ago.


They're sold out pretty much everywhere online now and going for crazy money on eBay..

pork "crunch" is rubbish compared to scratchings. Also 'salt & vinegar' flavour definitely doesn't suit pork fat products

worst scratchings since March: The Snaffling Pig Co. 'Perfectly Salted' (blue bag) i.e. stupidly over-salted.
best scratchings since March: MS Traditional Pork Scratchings (Black Country Snacks)

I noticed when looking through google shopping there are people selling scratchings by the kilo in clear poly bags with a bread tag crimping it.

I'd buy that from a butcher no bother, but from some random herbert on ebay saying it's good for 'keto'. No, you're alright, ta.

Yeah, pork crunch are generally bang average, but I had to give these a go and they were 'alright'.

I concur about the Black County Snacks' scratching, they're fantastic, as are the one's from Taylor's (although that might just be a Coventry thing for all I know). The problem with buying those big bags from your local butchers is that they're just too big, at least for one person and even over several days.

Shoulders?-Stomach!

How did we get from lovely Brannigans potato snacks to shards of pork fat

Elderly Sumo Prophecy

The only good pork scratchings is crackling directly from a freshly cooked roast. Anything in a bag is automatically shit.
