Crisps

Am I being unreasonable by saying prawn cocktail crisps are just the best because even if they’re not you’re absolute favourite they’ve got to be your second or third favourite. So if there was a scoring system I recon they’d come out #1 👍😁

Quavers are my favourite (or aldi cheese curls), then aldi teddy faces then walkers plain crisps - or salt and vinegar McCoy’s for a treat !

Seabrooks (?) prawn cocktail are delicious, walkers not so much. Hands down winner is Sensations Thai Sweet Chilli crisps. Im out, discussion over!!

YouTheCat · 01/05/2020 23:27

The only acceptable prawn cocktail crisp is a skip.

Salt and vinegar chipsticks are amazing as are bacon flavour wheat crunchies.

Tunnocks34 · 01/05/2020 23:28

My top three:

  1. walkers sweet chill sensations
  2. Beef monster munch
  3. bacon Frazzles

Twiglets.
that’s all I’m going to say....

Tunnocks34 · 01/05/2020 23:28

Wouldn’t turn my nose up at any flavour except pickled onion anything

ErrolTheDragon · 01/05/2020 23:28

Good quality cheese and onion (not walkers); salt and vinegar (they were my pregnancy craving); Lancashire sauce (that might just possibly be a local Fiddlers speciality onlyGrin); bacon ; plain.

Prawn cocktail would come ahead of chicken (if anyone still makes them ) I suppose.

YouTheCat · 01/05/2020 23:29

Twiglets make a smashing, crunchy sandwich.

Walkers Beef & Onion. Rarer than hen's teeth though. I live in hope that I see that lovely brown pack of six again. In the meantime Beef Hula Hoop Pufts will have to do.

Tana433 · 01/05/2020 23:31

Yes @Tunnocks34, throw in a bottle of rose' and thats my night sorted!

mildlymiffed · 01/05/2020 23:32

Prawn cocktail....

Yes yes yes!

Best. Flavour. Out. There.

mayawaya · 01/05/2020 23:34

Prawn cocktail crisps are the equivalent of puff ball skirts and getting off with ginger Dave at the disco aged 15. You spent your youth asking your Dad why he only ate ready salted, didn't go out any more and only listened to Fleetwood Mac...and he said 'Nggh'.

I'm 48 and thoroughly 'Nggh' myself these days, you can keep your pinky flavoured horrible, it's £2 black pepper and salt kettle bell crisps, long lasting pure wool jumpers and the Cocateau Twins for me these days.

Dad was the man.

IthinkIsawahairbrushbackthere · 01/05/2020 23:36

Many years ago, before Walkers took over, Smiths used to do Bovril flavour crisps and nothing has ever been as good.

Hello1290 · 01/05/2020 23:37

Ready salted are the best.

OwlinaTree · 01/05/2020 23:38

Prawn cocktail are my favourite walkers flavour.

Flaming hot monster munch and the orange max ones (paprika?) are my other non walkers favourites.

I think I like all crisps though. Except a prosseco flavoured crisp I once tried at Christmas. Envy

Mistystar99 · 01/05/2020 23:38

Totes unreasonable OP. Roast chicken crisps rule. Prawn cocktail rate about 10th, at best!

GiraffeWithSwag · 01/05/2020 23:39

Bloody awful. They wouldn't even get in my top 50!

PickAChew · 01/05/2020 23:39

I'm all about the prawn cocktail and salt and vinegar, these days. Markses prawn cocktail. Tyrell or kettlechios salt and vinegar.

Used to love cheese and onion but they give me the shits, now.

ExhaustedGrinch · 01/05/2020 23:39

1st. Walkers Max Strong Jalapeno & Cheese
2nd. Walkers Prawn Cocktail
3rd. Walkers Cheese & Onion

Tunnocks34 · 01/05/2020 23:40

@ErrolTheDragon roast chicken yes..what an absolute waste of calories. Rather eat Pom bears.

Tana433 · 01/05/2020 23:40

Does anyone remember Tudor crisps? They did a sausage and tomato flavour and a packet was about 7p.Goes a long way to explain my existing crisp addiction.

PickAChew · 01/05/2020 23:41

Despise walkers crisps, mind. Greasy glue.

ErrolTheDragon · 01/05/2020 23:41

Twiglets make a smashing, crunchy sandwich.

OMG that sounds good.

Marmite cashews are fabulous, btw.

SunshineDays2019 · 01/05/2020 23:41

YABU because cheese and onion are the best
YANBU because at least you didn't call prawn cocktail crisps "food of the Gods" (who in real life says that?!) Grin
