To ask if you had to introduce your line of crisps...

[MonaLisaDoesntSmile]

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

Definitely kedgeree or onion bhajis and mint sauce.

WaterIsWide, the chilli and cheese hot cross buns are beautiful, esp lathered in Philadelphia....

Got to be ranch flavoured, that I had in the States

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.

Wow. My answer is exactly the same as this, from flavour to texture.

Option A. I'd go for garlic escargot and cream.

For me Zapps Voodoo Chips cannot be beaten so I’d just have loads of these sent over from the US. Best described as a mixture of all the flavours, they are AMAZING!!

I want Walkers cheese and onion from the 80s.

They were cheesy. They were oniony. They were salty. They were absolutely divine.

Now it's all been taken out and they taste like tasteless thin cardboard.

What I wouldn't do, is go for

clementine and Prosecco

Looking at you, M&S and that horrible taste

Dearly departed Walkers Ginger, Coriander and Lime.

Best Crisps Evah!

I’d love a bovril crisp still, probably 30 years since I’ve had one. Also love those spicy Cheetos in US, not the silly copy you see over here.
Invented, I think I’d like pesto flavour

@FinallyHere OMG someone came up with this??? Wonder if it was some sort of Apprentice type competition that went horribly wrong lol.

I think US Cheetos are banned over here because they are concentrated E Numbers and Monosodium Glutimate so strong they glow in the dark.

😬

@Menaimum all for those exports from canada. Every time I go back home I always bring back bags of all dressed chips and bbq frito lays. Best combo of chips dill pickle and ketchup mixed together in a huge ass bowl.

If I were to go for a crisp creation I'd try to go for a sweet and tangy bbq flavour with a bit of heat to it on rippled crisp.

Can you get lime pickle crisps? Because they would probably be nice.

I am intrigued by the possibility of kimchi crisps, but they might be horrible.

Salt and vinegar because it’s the best crisp flavour there is.

@BroomstickOfLove Aren’t the walkers mini popadom things lime pickle flavour? They taste like it anyway and yes they are delicious.

I had fried egg crisps in Madrid earlier this year. They were odd. I'd recommend trying them once.

I think I'd like to make nice roast duck with hoisin sauce crisps.

@BroomstickOfLove Kimchee may be a nice flavour actually! I would not be surprised if in Korea such a flavour existed...

I mean, I once saw a soda drink in a local Asian that usually come sin melon or lychee, but in fish cake flavour...

I've had ketchup flavour Pringles on holiday in the Canaries, to die for! I've never seen them here though?

@bettybattenburg no! I must track some down!

Prawn cocktail but really strong with actual prawn in them. Crinkle cut a la Seabrook. So fishy that they would be banned on all public transport.

@katnissk Waitrose sell them and I think Morrisons do as well.

@Twigletgirl27 Walkers once did ketchup crisps.

C.

If I'm doing this, then it's probably because I think I can offer a distinctive crisp. And I'm doing that by the way they're prepared, cooked, or shaped, or the ingredients I'm using. Not by using a gimmicky flavour.

And much though I personally love salt and vinegar, if I'm truly only allowed one initial flavour, it's ready salted. It's the baseline from which pretty much all other crisp flavours build. If my crisp tastes bad as ready salted, I need to go back to the drawing board.
