Salt and vinegar crisps

[worriedandannoyed]

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!!

I love the way there’s a mound of powder in the bottom of discos bags!

I am currently conducting an experiment to find the best s&v crisps 😁😁so far Morrison’s own brand are in the lead! Closely followed by tesco . These are the ‘hand cut/cooked’ ones btw 😁

Sainsbury’s Taste the difference are good. Despite being a NI girl, I don’t rate Tayto s&v.

The Co OP posh ones are really strong. Dh is a s&v fan but says the coop ones are too strong for him.

A colleague at work had s&v squares the other day, offered me one - now that was strong!

Another vote for the co-op ones, haven't had them in a while, may need to make a visit today

@isabellerossignol - we went to NI at Easter and brought back 36 bags of Tayto crisps for DS’s friend’s dad.

I long for cheese and onion walkers from the '70s/'80s.
No idea what they have done to them but they taste awful now. Horrible strong taste (I can't even describe it) What HAVE they done?

Square crisps are my go-to for salt and vinegar tangyness- also co-op posh salt and vinegar. My mouth is literally watering....

Coop, or salt and vinegar flavarings. They're fucking incredible. I got one of those lumps of flavouring the other day, where is just crazy s&v stuff. I nearly came.

Thanks everyone, I guess I'll be getting my crisps from the co-op from now on! I love the Aldi big bags but have a tendency to eat the whole bag so try to buy the small ones. I love discos too but hate the other flavours, when I see the multi packs of just salt and vinegar I always get a couple

S&V crisp sandwiches are my fave 'treat' food!

The Kettle Chips salt and vinegar are really strong - too strong for me

S&V crisps take me back to the mid 90s, when DP and I first lived together. I had a packet of S&V Discos that had massive lumps of flavouring in the bottom of the pack.

He dared me to eat it all which I did. TBH I'm amazed I had any taste buds left after that experience .

Not touched S&V since!

@Horsemad me too. But peanut butter and s&v.

Our Poundland have smiths crisps. The taste like the did in the 70s. The salt and vinegar are the best ones I've tasted for years.

Signing up to try Coop! Lidl posh ones are the best I’ve tried recently or - slightly obscure - if you can get to a South African food shop the Simba brand is very good.

Makes note to try co-op ones!

Team Co-op! My sister introduced me to this, they are the best.

Another coop vote here (now going to have to stockpile as worried this thread will cause a shortage.)

Anyone else have a mouthful of saliva now?

100% coop!

Sainsburys own salt and vinegar chip sticks are the best (the bug sharing bags)

They're really vinegary and make my top lip sweat 😂

Big sharing bags* I should say!
