Salt and vinegar crisps

What's happened to these lately? I've had bag from multi packs from a few different supermarkets (own brand) plus a single bag of walkers the other day - and none of them have any flavour at all! Could always rely on Lidl for a pack of really strong ones but no, theirs are devoid of flavour too!

Where can I go for some proper crisps!!

Aldi do really good salt and vinegar kettle chips style ones that are better than kettle chips !

Salt and vinegar sticks are always mega tangy and the twirl ones usually sold in corner shops.

Seabrooks
Discos
The chip shop McCoy ones

Aldi used to do the best lattice style ones but they don't make them in salt and vinegar anymore Sad
Pringles always pack a little punch. Sometimes I add some extra vinegar to my crisps if they are a bit bland.

All I want now is a packet of salt and vinegar crisps.

Sparklfairy · 20/07/2019 22:10

The co op posh ones are amazing

SingingMyOwnSpecialSong · 20/07/2019 22:11

Coop ones are really good. I stock up when they are on offer.

Magmatic80 · 20/07/2019 22:12

The Jacobs crinkle things are absolutely divine. Slightly greasy and really strong flavour.

pigaletta · 20/07/2019 22:12

My go-to is Golden Wonder, very strong flavour. Nothing worse than a weak packet!

thesnapandfartisinfallible · 20/07/2019 22:13

Golden Wonder can usually be relied on to burn your tastebuds off. Failing that: Discos. The big guns of salt and vinegar.

pigaletta · 20/07/2019 22:13

Omg I thought Co-op ones were all hype until I tried them, unfortunately my local doesn’t always have them in stock (better for my waistline though)

isabellerossignol · 20/07/2019 22:14

You need Northern Ireland Tayto crisps. All their flavours are really good. But obviously the downside is that if you're not in N Ireland they're hard to get, although I've heard rumours that they sell them in the 'world foods' aisle in some supermarkets in England!

Karwomannghia · 20/07/2019 22:15

Hmmm I’m obviously weird as I enjoy every packet of salt and vinegar crisps, by any brand, as if it were my first. The packet of walkers I had earlier was just delicious.

isabellerossignol · 20/07/2019 22:16

To clarify, I mentioned N Ireland because there are also Tayto in the rest of Ireland, but they're different. Still good though!

Owlettele · 20/07/2019 22:16

Tesco own brand. Really strong. About 77p for Multi pack

Karwomannghia · 20/07/2019 22:16

But I agree about discos. Proper tongue burn.

DownstairsMixUp · 20/07/2019 22:16

The ones in marks and sparks in a huge bag with all different shapes.

Harebel · 20/07/2019 22:17

Walkers are shit in any flavour.

Agree with PP the Co-op posh ones in Chardonnay vinegar are surprisingly old skool tangy perfection.

MustardScreams · 20/07/2019 22:18

Co op Chardonnay vinegar ones are excellent. Proper mouth-puckering.

Riverside85 · 20/07/2019 22:23

The co-op ones, once you’ve had them then your mouth waters when you just see a packet on the shelf. Like Pavlov’s dog.

troppibambini · 20/07/2019 22:24

I love discos and chip sticks are good too.

TheBitchOfTheVicar · 20/07/2019 22:25

Co op posh ones.

Nor cheap but the Tyrells one have a lovely strong flavour
