I used to get really wound up about losing my hair. Then I made the decision to get a set of clippers and grade one clip the fuckers off.

Absolute instant 'who-gives-a-fuck' treatment.

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.

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

I 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.

I read that as 'hair loss and very much his gain' which I thought was an interesting way of looking at it and a great piece of body positivity to soothe any insecurities.

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.

Our local Sainsburys sells those.

I find them totally unacceptable.

I think we can discount your contribution to the crisp debate:

Talking of McCoys, their Chip Shop Curry Sauce flavour are fucking brilliant.

Poncing around in farm shops, buying Tyrells, the fucking well-specced Jaguar of the crisps world.

You've changed.

Nothing is too good for the working class, or so they tell me.

Except season tickets :-)

Yep, once a week, otherwise strangely I seem to look more bald the more my hair grows.

I’ve also discovered I like hats.

It’s a good job this isn’t the transfer thread, there would be some very excited posters looking at the page count in the morning.

It took right off, didn't it?

I'm pretty confident I've missed the moment by at least 8 pages or so, but another vote for Taytos.

[Brazilian Villain]

I'm pretty confident I've missed the moment by at least 8 pages or so, but another vote for Taytos.

The original flavoured crisps and still the No. 1. Ireland's gift to the World.

[Toronto Villa]

Yep H&V. Where a Match of the Day thread morphs from made up political controversy of its host to a full on discussion about crisps and sandwiches. Don’t ever change H&V.

You're only bang on, BV.

And that isn't indiscriminate pro-Irish stuff. The Irish have long-enjoyed an unfair claim over the sensation of drunkenness and whimsy.

But try Tayto and you won't go back to Walkers or Golden Wonder.

[Toronto Villa]

I lived in Dublin for a couple of years, went to UCD. Loved the place, the people, everything. Had my fair share of Tayto’s. Don’t get me wrong, they are solid. But having lived in a few spots in my life, Miss Vickie’s I referenced earlier, Lay’s Ruffles, Tayto’s and then Walkers in that order.

[Bad English]

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

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.

[PaulTheVillan]

Wasn't overly shocked to see Shearer and Wright supporting Watkins in his celebration. Strikers union.

[Nunkin1965]

Yep H&V. Where a Match of the Day thread morphs from made up political controversy of its host to a full on discussion about crisps and sandwiches. Don’t ever change H&V.

I'll second that.

IIRC Shearer was mad on Smokey Bacon crisps as a player.

Chicken and beans man!
