Heed my warning (about crisps)

[Soubriquet]

I’m recovering from covid and I’ve been quite ill. I’ve actually gone an entire week without eating anything. I have fresubin to make up the calories but still.

Anhway, I really danced some pickled onion monster munch. So I got some. And I could taste it. Just.

So I had another. And another.

In the end, I had five packets. I felt good. I ate something!!

Then I realised my mistake. I have a sore now on my bottom left gum. Another one on the bottom right gum. And the skin has peeled away on my tongue.

Damn those crisps. Still have 4 left but I will eat those in moderation and scoff bags of cheesy balls instead.

@Pearbear

I apologise profusely. It’s the reason I found their bastard website - looking for Lamb and Mint. And now I’ve passed on the pain.

Sorry. Would it help a bit that Yorkshire Crisps do a Lamb and Mint flavour? ( it’s not as good)

When I was pregnant with dd, so 10 years ago, I had a horrible craving for those 10p packets of cheesy nibbles.

No where sold them apart from B and M.

We bought their entire stock and luckily by the time I ran out, my craving finished. Which is lucky cos they have long since been discontinued. My god they were addictive

What is the deal with Canadian ham? Is that a thing?

It’s a bit more smoky bacon-y, hard to explain!

I will get to Morrisons forthwith @SquitMcJit , they are an exclave of Yorkshire and thus a fifth column in the historic crisp ears of the roses.

WARS. Not ears!

Branningans were banging. Proper thick crisps with heat from the mustard.

M&S combo mix is god tier crisp snackage too.

Absolutely packed with MSG. But worth it.

Golden Wonder still make Sausage and Tomato, i have a six pack in my cupboard.

@Tigofigo M&S combo mix are excellent although i've only had the sour cream and jalapeno ones. They looks suspiciously like the Waitrose salt and black pepper mix.

They come in a big bag so you need to finish them quickly or they go soggy, which is unfortunate.

Not if you can learn to walk bow legged.

Certain crisps make my tongue peel too, I’ve wondered why.

Maybe the tongue peeling is an allergy to something?

Omg 😱 they aren’t feet

Family size bag of tangfastics has a similar effect, the burn is incredible.

worth it

I loooovvveeee giant wotsits with cheese on top and microwaved, they go all chewy from the molton cheese!

The only thing I wanted after a few days of gastroenteritis was salt and vinegar walkers crisps.
They tasted devine. . . . On the way down.
Not as nice when they came back up again 😆🤢

I get little ulcers on my tongue if I eat too much cheese!

I need to do this. How long do you put them in the microwave?

30 seconds to a minute, depends How's much cheese, if I'm feeling super filthy I wack a slice of burger cheese on too 😎

Apologies for the spelling, glasses are upstairs 😬

Don’t forget the prawn

I have once in my shame eaten all 6 bags of discos

the flavours are fab !!

They do packs of cheese ,picked onion ,s&v of

these are fab @Soubriquet

I'm working towards this - good to know.

Definitely sounds like an intolerance to at least one of the ingredients. I had to stop having a lot of processed food when they started putting Rapeseed oil in it that is solvent extracted. Really missing crisps, as not found any without the refined oils in them. Butter, Extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil works well in most recipes though.

Jokes aside, Covid gave me awful mouth ulcers. Hope you feel better soon.
