A tangy conundrum

You know when you just want a good classic salt and vinegar crisp, nothing fancy, no balsamic, no Himalayan pink salt, nothing highbrow? Once upon a time I would never have deviated from walkers, but now, in my menopausal years, I’m a complete convert to golden wonder. Anyone else feel the same or AIBU?

I’m mad about S&v crisps and the best ones are 100% the co-op own brand. They burn the mouth of me, in a nice way.

Salt and Vinegar Squares. That is all.

Yes - these are the most extreme. Love them!

The nicest salt and vinegar crisps are Pipers. Walkers haven't been and good for years and years.

If I’m feeling a bit posh, I do like the M&S combo mix salt and vinegar…

Salt & Vinegar Discos. If your lucky, you'll get a packet that'll make your eyes water.

Oh the flavour bomb in the bottom corner, finding that made for the best day ever!
My youngest got one of those from Monster Munch some years ago. I'm still jealous.

Have you tried Seabrook? Lush

BobbysDazzler · 11/05/2026 17:23

For salt and vinegar it has to be kettle chips, but I'm afraid they are balsamic and sea salt.

I don't like the texture so much as they can be a bit hard, but the taste is phenomenal compared to any other ❤️ 🤤

S&V used to be my favourite flavour but I’ve actually gone off the walkers ones recently. We tend to get walkers as they sell them in Aldi so my default is ready salted.

I do like S&V McCoys, hula hoops and french fries though. oh and seabrook when I’m at the blood donation centre.
i don’t usually get Golden Wonder, I’ll have to give them a go.

Sainsbury’s own are nice, if a bit greasy.

Yep golden wonder out strips walkers across all flavours in my view

Hollowvoice · 11/05/2026 16:32

I've always preferred golden wonder to walkers, for any flavour
But for S&V my favourite is McCoys
