You can get Prawn Cocktail Watsits so it's fabled.

I would like to take this moment to pledge fealty to British crisps. Foreign crisps are shit. All of them. IDST.

We don't have this problem in Ireland, where Walkers are not widely available, or just ignored for their inferior quality.

That's because our kids have the best literacy rates in the OECD and EU, and don't need crisp packets to be colour-coded to figure out what flavour is in it.

I have some of those in the cupboard right now, they're my daughters favourite.

Nordy Mr Tayto has yellow cheese & onion. Perhaps not unsurprisingly avoiding green all together. But I don't think that's Gary Lineker's fault.

Our local Morrisons (I only went there because it was the height of covid and the queues outside Sainsburys and Waitrose were insanely long) has a 'foreign foods' section, a very large chunk of which seems to be Irish food.

My Mrs was very excited to see you can still get 'tiffin' Dairy Milk in Ireland.

You may have the edge of crisps, but your stew is bogging and resembles vomit.

Yeah, they come in the multipack don't they?

Oh hang on, no, I'm thinking of Quavers.

Didn't Linekar make loads of money selling crisps back in the day? Bit hypocritical of an athlete to be advertising junk food. And they weren't even good crisps! No standards and a hypocrit.

There's only one thing that puts me off Walkers - I couldn't care less about Lineker - and it's their inversion of the correct, natural packet colours for salt & vinegar and cheese & onion

This is obviously the side of righteousness, but it's a battle lost now.

All the supermarkets now do the green for salt & vinegar and the blue for cheese & onion, they've caved to the Walkers dominance.

Fucking Lineker.

that's incorrect though.

McCoys (KP) follow the same colours - Green - Cheddar & Onion / Blue - Salt & Malt Vinegar

I appreciate that you're on a roll of being wrong about everything tonight, but McCoys' historic marketing choices, dating back I believe to the 1980s have nothing to do with the current supermarket dominance of snack foods.

Ha ha ha, very true this.

Also, congratulations on having even shitter weather than we do.

[Monty]

He doesn't say anything on MOTD does he? So what's the difference? He's a citizen like you are, he can say what he likes. He's not even a newscaster or anything.

Which is acceptable when you agree with the message. Would you be as tolerant if you did not agree with him?

Late to this but: yeah.

I will take no insults from a country that eats bread sauce!

They're literally all just plain or paprika aren't they?

[mike]

Are prawn cocktail comestibles still referred to as Fanny fries?

Surely, one of the most exciting things about going abroad on holiday is foreign crisps and sweets.

Jesus. I can't believe, I'm 55 and still genuinely think this.
