Very impressed with these babies --- very authentic flavour.
And I should know..: 1. I once met the man who invented Quavers 2. I did all the research which gave Walkers the green light to use Gary Lineker as their front man (Lineker owes me several drinks...)
Pipers Kirkby Malham Chorizo flavour are my current weapon of choice. Don't really eat much in the way of crisps anymore. Am more of a snacks person. Biltong, jerky, nuts (big shout out to the Marmite cashew nuts and KP salt and vinegar peanuts) etc.
In fact there are loads of savoury snacks i am a complete glutton for.
As far as crisps go, walkers prawn cocktail take some beating. Pringles are the thinking mans crisp and made to be put in a cup holder in the van and eaten easily as opposed to taking your life into your hands and trying to eat a bag of crisps on the move. I pick those two as my staples but thankfully selection is improving
I love few things more than after a day in the sun on holiday sweating and tanning of going off piste to a kiosk and buying a 6 pack of local cold booze and a big bag of foreign flavour crisps to chomp through on the balcony while my missus blows the fuses using her hairdryer or all the lads to finish processing themselves through the shower
I discovered the peanut flavoured wotsits that aren't wotsits this way and they serve as a meal replacement often on holiday (remember them).
For me, you simply cannot beat smiths scampi fries and bacon fries. Has to be smiths bacon fries not the cheap shitty frazzles. Poundland do a six-pack 3 of each and I'm ashamed to say these bags often don't last the 15 minute drive home from the shops. I bulk buy them now and they just beat the piss out if everything else. I accept they don't qualify as a crisp though
Nothing better and yet more frustrating than finding some really good crisps abroad, great but finite.
Remember some kind of cheese and ham ones in Spain that were a bit like the Walkers Bugles but much better, and then some sort of mushroom and sour cream ones in Bulgaria that were off the scale.
Aren't walkers and lays crisps related or was I lied to my brother again. I'm sure on a trip to Belgium he told me that lays are the same company. He comes out with so much bull I never know

Wow, you lot are making me salivate and I've just finished my lunch. Due to weight concerns I limit crisps to summer picnics and Christmas. Today, I finished the last scraps of these crisps from Brittany. You lot would love them. Goats cheese and Espelette hot peppers. Never have I eaten crisps with such an absurdly strong cheesy flavour.
Where do they sell these, Jimmy?
I'm guessing in Bretagne/Brittany
Me too, but I meant which specific shop/supermarket, as I live in France as well!
Wow. Never thought anyone else would ever mention the,m. For me the best bag there has ever been. Smiths Savoury Vinegar. 3 and a half p a bag. I’m welling up here

Sensations Thai Sweet Chilli
McCoys Steak
Tangy/spicy twiglets (only ever came out at Christmas in the tubs)
Lime Doritos
Birds eye chilli coated nuts (don't try this at home)
When I ate 🍖 I did like Bovril flavour, occasionally cheese and onion or salt and vinegar.
But nothing beats ready salted.

And Spanish Gold tobacco.
They're not as big as they used to be.
