What about Doritos and dips?

Doritos are the least good tortilla chips. I personally enjoy Asda's round ones. Just lightly salted but perfect for dips.

Where do we stand on Scampi fries, the Ferrero Rocher of deep fried snacks?

Ferrero Rocher because nobody could actually stand them?

How could *anybody* not like Ferrero Rocher!?

Tyrells are my brand of choice, they do the best salt and vinegar...

To pull things back to what is clearly the most important issue on the table. I reckon to most S&V aficionados, it's how strip-your-tastebuds strong they are, and having spent a lifetime looking for the right one, Tyrells have barely even registered for me.

Discos always *were* the answer back in the '90s. You had probably a one in five chance with a rogue bag of Chipsticks. Corn snacks were usually better than crisps.

I reckon that the current top three from my extensive research is

(3) Burts
(2) Aldi posh ones
(1) Co-op posh ones

Very interested to hear of anything that I've not come across yet.

The Christmas sarnies are an abomination by the way and a strong signifier of a culture laid to waste.

Heathen! The cafe at the place I used to work did a December special of turkey, bacon, stuffing and cranberry which is hands down the best sandwich ever.

Philpotts in town used to (I think they've all closed now? At least the Gt Charles St one has) do a pastrami, stilton and chilli sandwich which is the greatest I've ever had.

Yes, we used to always order in from there when there was an event in the office and that was one of the options we insisted on, not quite as good as ^ though.

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.

Amazing these, and only a slight stripping of the top layer of the tongue, no where near the Discos annihilation of the taste buds

Home Bargains and B&M are a couple of the best places to have a variety of crisps that aren't just sodding Walkers and McCoys.

Indeed, preferably straight out of the freezer.

Maybe controversial but.... salt & vinegar Pringles are good for burning off some taste buds.

I noticed Fish N Chips flavour crisps were at the garage the other day, now that’s another fine pack of crisps.

Remember when it used to be a small biscuit type of snack?

That’s them, are they not that now?

Because you said crisp, I thought they had changed. Personally didn't like them because they were little biscuits and I had chocolate covered animals if I wanted biscuits.

We had both. A pack of chocolate animals, a pack of fish n chips and a bottle of lemonade were our weekly treat from Minworth Carrefour. But we were posh

Home Bargains and B&M is nearly as bad walking through Primark though.

Phillpotts is a sandwhich shop for those who think they have made it in life (you haven't) . Horrific place

Arty, farty foreign muck.

Agreed. We didn't have Brexit to flood our shops with bloody Doritos. Their blue packet isn't even a flavour; Cool Original. What the fuck is that?
