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!?

Indeed, preferably straight out of the freezer.

Mneh. I don't dislike them but they aren't on my top twenty favourite chocolate brands. I will eat one if offered, but that's about it...

When I split up with my wife, she fucked off to work for Ferrero Rocher in Luxembourg.

So whenever I think of FR, I think of her sour fucking face.

That's how I manage not to like them.





although when i lived in Italy, I used to love those intense coffee flavoured ones they did, and the cherry ones too, can't remember their name.

Oh, hang on, Pocket Coffee. That's it.

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

What's a Primark?

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

Slightly different, but when my ok’ man took me to a pub, I’d get a pint of lemonade and dip my salt and vinegar crisps in it. One of my daughters do that now as well!

Some Corbynista you are.

I'd have thought a 30 years past use-by date Club biscuit would be more on-message.

Penneys, hun!

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.

I used to agree and if i'm after something like that co-op is my go to, but I struggle with the really strong ones now after I broke my jaw a few years back, there's 3-4 things I used to really like that trigger pain and sadly those crisps are top of the list.

The worst thing Ireland sent this way since U2.

You've got the Fish N Chips brand of snack, which isn't fish and chips flavoured (although they might have done that in the day).

Small, Mini Cheddar style biscuits. Usually salt and vinegar flavoured. Although I had pickled onion ones in the house recently.

All fine, but League One level at best.

Now who remembers Flanagans Beef and Mustard. I think that was the brand? What a crisp that was.

Sold out to the Brits long ago.

Yes, I know.

The posh crisps feel like they're turbo charging my tooth decay, like trying to drill through masonry with a metal bit.

My best mate at university was from Cornwall. One weekend, a load of us went down there for a long weekend.

We were surprised to see multiple occasions of people in pubs ordering a pickled egg (pickled eggs are fucking amazing, mind) and a bag of salt and vinegar crisps, and then dropping the egg into the crisps for consumption.

Then we tried it, and understood why. Brilliant.
