Festive crisps, looking for recommendations

[PineappleAndGrapefruitLilt]

I've been picking up Xmas food here and there when at the shops and was looking at Aldi's crisp offerings which were a bit uninspiring - turkey and thyme, pigs in blankets. Anyone seen any good ones out there they can recommend? Thanks!

I tried Sainsbury's Dauphinois Potatoes yesterday and liked them. Not sure what dauphinous is supposed to taste of (when I've eaten it I've just thought potato cooked a different way) but the packet says rosemary and garlic.

On no account attempt Brussels sprout flavour crisps. Once I was stuck in a day long ferry queue after Christmas, and these were all that was available.

Truly vile, had to spit them out. I can stomach most things at a pinch but the Brussels sprout crisps were just horrible.

Yes, Brets. They are French, specifically from Brittany, and they are my absolute favourite crisps. The salted butter flavour is called La Bretonne and it's delicious. If you can get hold of them, the poulet braisé flavour is also superb.

I swear all of the Xmas crisps are just a version of bacon, chicken, prawn cocktail or cheese and then one other weird ass thing like truffle or champagne they never have normally.

I think you're right. In the interest of Mumsnet research I've just eaten some more Sainsbury's Potato Daupinoise crisps and in a blind taste test I'd describe them as cheese & onion.

Why would you select those awful looking ones when the amazing hoisin duck ones are in the mix?

Whatever you do dont buy the gingerbread doritos

Yeah it's a bloody racket! 😂

I bet they taste like BBQ. That's the other flavour they reimagine for Xmas.

I like vegetable crips because they look festive in a bowl with the red and golden colours

Fairfield’s farm are nice and they do chestnut crisps for Christmas which are always popular at the markets I go to but I haven’t tried personally

Crisps are officially off the menu these days for health reasons but I'm hoping to allow myself a few at Christmas. I love Lidl lobster cocktail ones and if they do them again this year that's my Christmas treat sorted.

Can confirm the lobster crisps are very much on the go.

Today we purchased the M&S Cooked Butter Basted Turkey crisps. They were amazing. Enhanced by the fact my 15yo said she was looking forward to trying the
“butter bastard crisps”. Lots of hilarity when she realised what she had said & these crisps will now be known by this name going forward.

I like the sound of some of the Walkers golden crisps. Will have to find some.
