Also Baci di Perugina, also Nutella do little bars and things now which rule...Italy has a lot of top chocolate, which makes up for their crisp game in which they're literally unaware of the existence of flavours beyond 'crisps'.My main memory of day to day food buying in Italy was how it was impossible to buy bread from a supermarket which was not hard.

I haven’t seen Branston Pickle flavoured mini cheddars in years. That was always a great moment when they were in the crisp aisle.

I was going to have an early night tonight as well, but no, I'll spend the evening pissing myself laughing at snack based posts on a thread ostensibly about MOTD instead.

Shame, as that really was peak Italian policy (sell the cigarettes and use the funds to treat the people who bought the cigarettes in the first place).

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.Rodders, of this parish, has a way of doctoring a packet of pork scratchings with Tabasco and Worcester Sauce that would leave any red-blooded man hyperventilating for more. Hell of a guy.Snacks alchemy.Snalchemy

Definitely seeing a correlation between weird snack choices and hair loss. This thread is like the Zapurder film for uncovering the truth.

Hell of a guy.Snacks alchemy.SnalchemyI spent six years as the better half of a double Michelin starred restaurateuse, yet my hot hairy hog never made it to the menu. It takes a man of Paddy's impeccable taste to recognise its greatness: her loss and very much his gain.Once Paulie and I have Snalchemy established I hope we will launch a school where talented young uns cam.learn more. The Snalchademy has a lovely ring to it. Or so long as that leftie shithouse Linikar hasn't personally closed down all private educational facilities by then, anyway.
