Crisps [split topic]

[shoulders]

Something more trusty like an apron or tabard would be better than the Union Jack, but then so would an actual piece of shit

[Cold Meat Platter]

Another possible option for Brannigan's beef and mustard fans:



Not as strong mustard-wise as the Brannigan's but pleasant nonetheless. Vegan version also available apparently as these contain, ahem, 'wagyu beef powder'.

Farmfoods, 2 quid.

Savoursmiths was co-founded by a weath fund manager and his supermodel wife. I shit you not.

Looks exactly what a cunt would create if you made them do a Crisps

I really like Smith's scampi fries at the moment, but fucking hell, they're so inconsistent. I'll get the multipack of them with the bacon rashers in as well, and from packet to packet, they'll be a slightly different level of freshness. They'll always taste fine, but one bagful will be nice and crunchy, the next one will be a bit softer etc etc.

Same level of inconsistency with XL cheese crisps. The post office near me sells a bag of 5 packets, and from packet to packet they'll have a completely different level of flavouring on them. Pain in the arse.

My need for scampi fries varies hugely from Pub with a pint: yes, to Any other situation whatsoever: Never

Serous Pig Crunchy Snacking Cheese

Not a crisp, but who knows how to classify this.

You know when you make a cheese toasty, and some of it leaks out and dries and slightly burns on the side of the toasty maker. Well it's that, but chunks of it. You may think that's cool, but it really isn't. 3/10

[imitationleather]

I couldn't even finish a bag of those. Really vile fake chemical cheese taste and just not what I expected at all. Urgh.

Those corn snacks that were always being chucked in with Beer52 boxes are all over the supermarkets now as well. They are rubbish. Avoid. You've been warned!

[dontpaintyourteeth]

that's a shame because their pretentious pepperami-style offerings* are alright


*I suppose I could just say "salami" or something

[Poobum]

Does contain actual wasabi, but also lots of sugar, which means they have an unpleasantly sweet aftertaste.

They look shite, plus how many are in there?!

Lidl used to do their own version of these, but unfortunately seem to have stopped, they were pretty reem.

[Poobum]

Only gave them a go due to these...



... absolutely delicious Sennarido wasabi pistachios that came in a Sakuraco box. No unnecessary sweetness and pure wasabi nose blast.

[Utter Shit]

I have some terrible news guys. Wotsits have absolutely fucked it. Without telling anyone (because they know it's a step back) they've changed the shape and texture. They're now smaller, less puffy and slightly more knobbly. The best way I can describe it is if they've merged with Nik-Naks, but retained 75% of the design. It's an absolute fucking shambles if I'm honest.

[shoulders]

Big fuck up
Massive fuck up

Hope you all consider blood a dip

[seepage]

I think they're 'Wotsits Crunchy' and you can still get the uncrunchy ones. Funny enough the crunchy ones aren't on Walkers' actual site

Na these aren't the crunchy ones, they're the standard packs but with a new and not at all improved texture. I did wonder if I just had a rogue bag, but the entire multipack was the same so I checked on Twitter and saw a lot of people saying the same thing.

[Poobum]

Store brand cheese puffs are better anyway. Let em go stale, let em go chewy, let the oil leech out. Yum, yum, yum.

Want some Wotsits now

And to go with them, the films of Steven Spielberg

They look very much like Cheetos.
Wotsits are made by Walkers who are a wholly owned subsidiary of PepsiCo.
Cheetos are made by Frito-Lay who are a wholly owned subsidiary of PepsiCo.
When PepsiCo first acquired Walkers they tried selling Cheetos in the UK under the Walkers brand but they sold poorly. Then they bought Wotsits from Golden Wonder and tried briefly to sell them as Cheeto Puffs but quickly went back to putting 'Wotsits' on the packets after they failed to sell.
Now it seems they're putting Cheetos in bags branded 'Wotsits'.
It's almost as though someone fairly high up at PepsiCo is obsessed with "Making those motherfucking Limeys eat Cheetos goddammit!".

The glorious history of UK crisps before Walkers came and shat on it.

Grefusa's Gublins Minims

Spanish thing. Kinda like small Quavers, so maybe Mark Lamarr might like them. Not the best texture, but pleasant enough. Flavour is okay, but again, not quite right. 6/10

But most importantly, they're called 'Gublins' 9/10

Gublins!

[Das Reboot]

Enjoyed a bag of these, found in the flavour of the week aisle in Lidl. Will get some more next time I'm in.

Would give those a fuck

GO BACK TO RUSSIA


_{nah seriously though they look decent}

[shoulders]

Pleased to report these are still a thing. Way cheaper than Walkers (or Lays as they are called over here) and way more flavourful.

Took me nearly 18 days to notice a packet I could buy though, which is a downside.
