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

When we lived in Norway they had one brand that we liked and of those there was only 1 flavour I liked (paprika bbq or something equally unusual), trips to the UK were a treat.

I have to side with the Irish brotherhood though, Tayto crisps are much better than anything we have.

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

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

What colour packet does that come in?

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

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.

I lie - there's also about a billion corn snacks. All different shapes, but all cheese flavoured. As if the shape is where you're looking for your variety.

Whoa, I've banned that shit from my dinner table and I'm not even joking. Her and her mom like it but even the sight of it turns my stomach, disgraceful stuff.

Beige.

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.

I'm not wrong (again). Do me a favour, go to Tesco tomorrow and get yourself a meal deal (£3.40 it's great value) you get a sandwhich a drink and a snack ie crisps. You will be hit with a wall of McCoys plus some other options . But McCoys are mainstream crisps whether you like it or not, they are.

A few weeks ago we were in a farm shop and bought some Tyrell's balsamic root vegetable crisps. They were, quiet simply, the finest snacks ever, even better than hairy scratchings.

I've never heard of it, not seen it, less eaten it and I understand 8th century Saint puns. Dafuq do you make sauce out of bread? Sounds like slang for thrush.

Our local Sainsburys sells those.

I find them totally unacceptable.

Iceland sold Christmas Tree flavour crisps a few years back.

[Monty]

This sounds dumb, but years ago I remember M&S had a new flavour of crisps that was - baked potato flavour. I know, it sounds dumb. But they were the best crisps I ever had.

Oh mate, you have no idea. Mexico has the shittest crisps available to man. The ideas are good - tomato: I like tomatoes! Cheese: nobody likes cheese more than I do! Chilli: bring it the fuck on! All of them, an absolute disgrace to crisps. And it's worse in Albania. Oregano is a fine ingredient in a puttanesca, it's not a fucking flavour for crisps. SALT AND VINEGAR, YOU CNUTS!

[pauliewalnuts]

Pret have a very nice Christmas Dinner flavoured sandwich at the moment.

[PeterWithesShin]

My local Sainsburys crisp section is pretty much Walkers, McCoys and their own brand, and nothing else.

It's basically soggy bread with onions and a bit of seasoning. Absolutely vile and features on nearly every British Christmas cooking show I've ever seen. Nigella, Delia, Jamie Oliver, Gordon Ramsey etc. etc.
