McCoys are the biz .. and try Asda, Sainsbury, in fact any of the big four own brand corn chips .. 1/3 of the price of Doritos and I defy anyone to tell le difference
A fresh baked white mini loaf hollowed out, stuffed with crisps and salad cream, squashed down hard with the heel of your palm, then stuffed into your face in as few bites as possible. Magic!
Did you know that Proctor & Gamble tried to argue at a Tribunal that Pringles weren't wholly or mainly made of potato?
FACT.
The whole Pringles thing is amazing, a triumph of clever marketing people. Designed as a way of using up the scraps, it's sold as a top-of the range product. Manufactured by a conglomerate normally associated with cleaning materials it's sold under a name which is a contraction of P&G to give it a friendly old-time family feel. Genius.

I've leant something today .. the genesis/genius of Pringles !!! .. I have always been interested in how some folk will pay top money for a crisp that comes in a tube which probably costs more to manufacture than the contents. Is the potato v corn debate a matter of vat or non-vatable ?

I thought that, in legal terms, p&g aren't allowed to call Pringles 'crisps' as a crisp must be a potato slice, whereas Pringles are reformed potato sludge. I quite like them though, all things considered!
Think the best Crisps are local Crisp Tavern, love these always full of flavour
I agree with this - Tavern Snacks of SE7. Support your local independent business!
Seabrooks Crisps are good too, although made in Bradford so not exactly local. However they are very tasty!
Seabrooks are good - Canadian Ham flavour especially, but nothing beats a bag of Brannigans Beef and Mustard!
Their Canadian Ham and Pickled Onion flavours are the nuts. I once asked a Canadian girl if there some way of cooking ham unique to Canada that made it a suitable subject for a crisp flavour. Needless to say, she was nonplussed!

Isn't it just UK and Ireland that has proper flavours? Whenever I've eaten crisps abroad they've always been salted or paprika, which I find doesn't have enough punch. Like the way in Spain that crisps are served with your food like a vegetable. Eat far too many of them anyway, it's the first thing I cut out when i want to lose weight (well that and Bombay Mix).

Other crisps, etc = non- VATable
So if you're feeling peckish and want to do a bit of tax avoidance, it's Doritos over Pringles every time!
And of course, the non-VATable stuff isn't 20% cheaper.
