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 👍😁

YANBU because at least you didn't call prawn cocktail crisps "food of the Gods"

I thought that was rice pudding?Grin

WeAllHaveWings · 01/05/2020 23:42

Plain
Sweet/Thai Chilli type flavours
Salt n vinegar
Sour cream
Cheese n onion

I don't mind prawn cocktail, but it wouldnt be a top choice

TazSyd · 01/05/2020 23:42

Oh I love prawn cocktail.

I love Worcester sauce the most, followed by bacon rashers and then spicy nick nacks.

Prawn cocktail are in 4th place, for me, I’m afraid.

OgoPogo8 · 01/05/2020 23:45

Yeah prawn cocktail is the best, cant get them where I am though.

Prokupatuscrakedatus · 01/05/2020 23:45

It definitely has to be peperoni first,
then plain salted,
then sour cream / onions.

If it has to be out of the water I'd prefer Krupuk

Pelleas · 01/05/2020 23:46

The only acceptable prawn cocktail crisp is a skip.

Never a truer word spoken!

S&V are my default probably-bearable crisps.

englebertsausagedog · 01/05/2020 23:47

Prawn cocktail are in the same bracket as those roast chicken ones - horrible.

The only exception are Skips.

Leflic · 01/05/2020 23:47

I like Smiths crisps. Walkers are very greasy.

However those Max crisps in some god awful, tongue inflaming, non flavour are the best. I’m not allowed crisps so the less like the crisp and the more like a big carb bag of artificial wrongness the better.

Before that Ilikesmoky bacon, plain and then phases of c&o or s&v depending on which I had over indulged on previously,

Very. They ruin every multipack they grace.

ErrolTheDragon · 01/05/2020 23:49

Can anyone tell me why Skips look something like sea urchins?

Bakedpotatoandgin · 01/05/2020 23:50

Ew no I hate prawn cocktail. The best are: salt and black pepper kettle chips, tyrrels vegetable crisps, walkers salt and vinegar (cheaper versions are acceptable, sometimes preferable, posher brands are insufficiently astringent). I also quite like those cheap extruded snacks that look like pasta twists/ fusili, the salt and vinegar ones. And Squares. And cool Original and chilli heatwave doritos. Basically anything except meaty, cheesy (including sour cream and onion pringles Envy) or prawn flavoured.

Wehttam · 01/05/2020 23:52

Prawn Cocktail are the best I agree OP. I do like S&V and C&O too. My absolute faves are the Torres Truffle ones but they’re £4 a bag and the Spanish Deli I get them from is closed so it’s good old Walkers for now.

Mini Cheddars are a good one too, and the odd Wotsits here and there and maybe some Cheese Doritos.

Neveranynamesleft · 01/05/2020 23:52

They smell and taste vile.

ErrolTheDragon · 01/05/2020 23:52

If you want strong astringent salt and vinegar (or aggressively salty 'plain') then unless they've toned them down nowadays it'd be Hula Hoops. Good crunch too.

bakedbeanzontoast · 01/05/2020 23:54

Tomato 🤢

Pelleas · 01/05/2020 23:57

Aargh, this thread - I could murder a packet of beef monster munch now!

Sertchgi123 · 02/05/2020 00:02

Plain then cheese and onion.

macpumpkin1 · 02/05/2020 00:04

They are your favourite because you haven't tried Henderson's Relish Yorkshire Crisps....

90bisodol · 02/05/2020 00:04

I consider myself a crisp connoisseur Wink there are very few flavours I wouldn't eat, but if I had to rank them, prawn cocktail would probably come in at about no. 14
I don't actively dislike it, but there are SO many better flavours out there! Lamb and mint, Thai sweet chilli, steak, cheese and onion, spring onion, Smokey bacon, heck even ready salted!! I'd eat prawn cocktail if there was literally no other choice....

CottonHeadedNinyMuggins · 02/05/2020 00:04

Oh god, I couldn't even make a list cos I love so many including the not so fancy ones like the Asda variety pack (onion rings, salt/vinegar sticks and bacon rashers).

I'd rather have crisps than chocolate or sweets personally!

Wineinthegarden · 02/05/2020 00:05

If there’s no other option then maybe. Marmite crisps first choice, but cheese and onion with a cheese and onion sandwich. Bliss.

Grandmi · 02/05/2020 00:06

Walkers cheese and onion,roast chicken or ready salted....prawn cocktail 🤢

mumandchefandallsorts · 02/05/2020 00:06

How about brannigans roast beef and mustard, has anyone tried them? They're amazing!!

livingmyslothlife · 02/05/2020 00:08

I've a severe crisp addiction and they're the only type I won't eat. Does anyone else remember hedgehog crisps?

lollipoplola · 02/05/2020 00:11

My favourite too, and the DCs.
