Would you

A) Pick one that is 'traditional' (or something that people in here would be familiar at the very least, but not yet made into a crisp flavour,f.ex. Sunday Roast, Pigs in Blankets, Black Pudding, Beans on Toast, Mac'n'Cheese, or whatever else (some of these may have been a thing already mind you)

B) Pick something more out there, like a lesser known flavour from a foreign cuisine, lets say salmon sashimi :P (hehehe)

C) Pick a well known, trialed and tested thing like salt and vinegar

And what would it be?

You only get ONE choice of flavour

I choose a really strong salt and vinegar, but it would have to be on a special crisp. It's more about texture for me, I don't like ones that are too crunchy as a rule.

Knowhowufeel2 · 09/04/2020 16:08

I would go with A) and my flavour would be garlic chicken.

If that's already been done, then mushroom strogonoff.

Sallycinammonbangsthedruminthe · 09/04/2020 16:23

C ..I love a traditional crisp and although I have tried lots of gimmicky odd flavours over the years most have been disappointing.....50 years nearly of my love affair with crisps tells me you can alter the texture of a crisp but traditional flavours are still the best!!!

B0bbin · 09/04/2020 16:26

As long as there's a spicy or zingy/ tangy element I'm in.

MyNeckMyBack · 09/04/2020 16:27

Garlic butter.

Remember Phineas Fogg Mignons Morceaux from the 1980s?

That flavour, but in crisp form.

MyNeckMyBack · 09/04/2020 16:27

Phileas

Menaimum · 09/04/2020 16:42

I'd just import from Canada: dill pickle, ketchup, all dressed
Can't beat them.

AvalancheKit · 09/04/2020 16:45

Gin

MonaLisaDoesntSmile · 09/04/2020 16:52

@Sallycinammonbangsthedruminthe But which flavour would you pick?
I agree, tried lots of different ones which were disappointing, but still, every time I see a new one I try to try it!

@AvalancheKit Interesting, never thought of boozy crisps!

GrimDamnFanjo · 09/04/2020 16:56

@MyNeckMyBack they were amazing!
I'd probably stick with Seabrooks crinkled salt...

Sereneren · 09/04/2020 17:00

I would bring back the beef and horseradish crisps that I haven't seen in years.

TheThingWithFeathers · 09/04/2020 17:00

Oh wow @Menaimum I've just googled all dressed crisps, sorry chips, and am now making plans for a trip to Canada just to stock up on those babies! Post lockdown, of course!

Sallycinammonbangsthedruminthe · 09/04/2020 17:03

boring old plain sea salted ones for me!

Spied · 09/04/2020 17:04

A/B
Pineapple pizza crisps.
Cheesy, tomatoey, sweet comfort food.
A bit sweet, a bit savoury.

Bettybattenburg · 09/04/2020 17:04

I'd make chilli chocolate ones.

BeyondMyWits · 09/04/2020 17:07

Garlic mushroom flavour, rich and savoury.

Nomorewine77 · 09/04/2020 17:08

@MyNeckMyBack Mignons Morceaux now they were an all time great, I'd happily eat a whole packet of those! Grin

userabcname · 09/04/2020 17:08

Oooh I'd definitely try black pudding and chilli chocolate crisps! I'd go for a curry-ish flavour - maybe butter chicken.

bettybattenburg · 09/04/2020 17:09

Katniss have you tried the masala pringles?

NW2SW · 09/04/2020 17:10

I'm partial to a 'holiday' crisp flavour like paprika or olive oil and oregano. So I'd choose B - coriander and garlic

catinb0oots · 09/04/2020 17:11

@MyNeckMyBack oh my god I forgot about those. They were LUSH

BroomstickOfLove · 09/04/2020 17:12

Waitrose did a mignon morceaux dupe until about a year or two ago. I was so sad when they stopped - it was like when Phileas Fogg closed down all over again.

Theresnobslikeshowb · 09/04/2020 17:12

Surf and turf- steak and scampi!!

WaterIsWide · 09/04/2020 17:15

Roast lamb and mint sauce flavour crisps. Sold my Marks and Spencer in the 1980's the first departure into a new flavour. Delicious.

Off topic but I'm still reeling from the chilli and cheese flavour hot cross buns I saw in the very same M&S today. (No, no one threw one at me.)

iklboo · 09/04/2020 17:16

Best crisps I've ever had were mushroom flavour ones in Bulgaria.
