Seabrook potato crisps

As far as I know, this Bradford firm doesn't make any other similar snack foods, just crisps. They've been crinkle cut for decades but I remember when they weren't. Anyhoo, what is your favourite Seabrook flavour...?

Mine is Pickled Onion. A little antisocial but very tasty and tangy. The Spring Onion ones are a bit overpowering for me. Smoky Bacon also good.

Ohhh I love the prawn cocktail ones which is surprising as I don't tend to rate any other makes for prawn cocktail, also love the salt n vinegar.

Seabrook were always my favourite crisps. They are also one of the cheapest brands. However, I stopped buying them after I read they were cooked in some kind of oil that is supposedly not good for you. Maybe they've changed the oil they are cooked in these days but it really put me off them.

The Canadian ham.....😍😍😍

Canadian Ham flavour. I've not had them in a while though so not sure if they still do them.

Prawn cocktail. Although, I’m not sure if it is just me, but the taste seems to have changed/not been as good the last 12 months. Lots of ‘bad’ crisps. It’s put me off.

Cheese and onion in a ham sandwich.

Lupin61 · 03/04/2024 18:27

I love the salt & vinegar ones

Fizzadora · 03/04/2024 18:27

Bought a six pack of Beefy ones from B&M today.

asbestosmouth24 · 03/04/2024 18:27

Seabrook's are no longer my favourite crisps brand though. Irish brand Tayto crisps are my faves can sometimes get them here in England.

greengreyblue · 03/04/2024 18:28

Always ready salted in any crisp.

TheTecknician · 03/04/2024 18:30

I've never been keen on the Canadian Ham. They seem to have an odd chemical smell!

Ready Salted. The King of Crisps.

karriecreamer · 03/04/2024 18:45

Used to love Seabrook, but moved over to McCoys!

xxlostxx · 03/04/2024 18:47

Always loved the prawn cocktail but they do taste different now. Think sugar has been added. Why the hell do they keep adding sugar to crisps 😒

PoochiesPinkEars · 03/04/2024 18:49

Used to love love love Seabrook crisps. Spring onion and also salt and vinegar.

But I think they've changed the recipe because they're nowhere near as nice tasting as they once were.
So I don't bother anymore. If I'm going to eat junk and empty calories it needs to taste exactly right or what's the point.

PoochiesPinkEars · 03/04/2024 18:49

I am Tayto curious though, as have heard all good things but have never spotted one in the wild to try.

calligraphee · 03/04/2024 18:51

Great crisps. Ready Salted are the best, then S&V.

LauraNorda · 03/04/2024 18:51

I think something has changed with Seabrook Cheese and Onion. And not for the better.

greengreyblue · 03/04/2024 18:52

Tayto are in Morrisons in the World Aisle.

SilverCatStripes · 03/04/2024 18:54

Garlic and Herb - actual food of the gods !

I don’t think they make that flavour anymore as I haven’t seen any for a long long time.

Their "loaded" range are not crisps:

@greengreyblue what!!. Seriously... Omg - right there under my nose all this time. Thanks!!

I've just got back from Morrisons ready for a rare night with the house to myself curled up on the sofa - a bag of renowned crisps would have been the cherry on the cake! 😭

I will hatch a plan to make up for this missed opportunity. Thanks for the intel 🙌

TheChosenTwo · 03/04/2024 18:58

Tayto cheese and onion are my kryptonite. Any crisp with an onion flavour will do me but the Tayto ones are thick and absolutely covered in seasoning 🤤
Cursing my low carb lifestyle right now 😂
Never tried Seabrook and I haven’t seen them either!

Lifeetc · 03/04/2024 19:04

They are £1 in B+M at the moment
Not as nice as they used to be, harder texture and often black bits or eyes on the crisps ( loads of brands are like this now tho)

TrtseHkpr · 03/04/2024 19:06

Canadian ham is my favourite, closely followed by prawn cocktail. I love Seabrooks!
