Salt and vinegar are the king of crisps and everyone who disagrees is clearly barmy

[-] Skua@kbin.earth 11 points 1 week ago

The co-op fancy own brand salt & vinegar crisps are phenomenal. Vinegary enough to clean old brass with

[-] theo@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

The problem is though, if you buy them enough, any other salt and vinegar crisps just taste like ready salted.

I agree and will follow you into battle about this

[-] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Salt and vinegar thick cut, extra crunchy.

[-] Th4tGuyII@fedia.io 5 points 1 week ago

Yup. I could eat salt and vinegar crisps til my tongue burns and my eyes are watering. People can have their flavour of choice, but in a multipack, they're my number one.

[-] ruuster13@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

Also great on dirt

Salt and vinegar, pickled onion, anything that makes me feel like the crisps are eating my mouth while i eat them

Happy cake day!!

Prawn cocktail, and I will fight to the death to defend it.

[-] ns1@feddit.uk 5 points 1 week ago

Fun fact: most brands don't contain any prawn and are vegetarian

[-] TwoTiredMice@feddit.dk 4 points 1 week ago

Same with many "bacon" crisps.

If I had to save one flavour it would probably be Cheese & Onion. However, there's so many excellent varieties out there beyond the old guard.

I've been off crisps completely for a month as part of my diet. I've lost nearly 2kg. Which is great, but fuck I miss them. I'm going cold turkey until the October holidays. Probably easier getting the jab to be honest, as crisps are my like crack to me.

Most recent fave flavour was the Walker's Jalapeno & Nacho Cheese crinkle cuts. They go amazing with beer. And therein lies the problem.

Everyday? It has to be salt & vinegar. So many bangers to choose from, too: McCoy’s, Discos, Pringles, supermarket own-brand twirls, Chipsticks…

If I want a special treat, though? I recently discovered Croky À L’Ancienne Sweet Paprika and let me tell you, they blow every other paprika crisp out of the water. Don’t know what they’re doing over there in Belgium but it’s truly a game changer.

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Slap some in a ham sandwich and it's like a flavour explosion in your mouth.

[-] DamienGramatacus@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

If we're taking the classic red, blue green flavours, it's cheese and onion. But the packet should be green. Salt and vinegar should be blue.

[-] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

This is correct, righteous and holy. Blue is salt and vinegar.

[-] Corporal_Punishment@feddit.uk 4 points 1 week ago

Nope. You're wrong. Vinegar is green, everyone knows this

[-] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 4 points 1 week ago
[-] DamienGramatacus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Well I love your passion but I think the green of cheese is greener than the green of vinegar. Also salt is blue.

My favourite of all time were Brannigans Roast Beef and Mustard. Unbeatable.

Do Scampi-Fries fall into the crisp family? If so then I’d put fish pillows up there with S&V

[-] khannie@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Scampi fries and a pint of Guinness. A punch in the mouth followed by a sweet caress.

[-] Anchorxiety@reddthat.com 6 points 1 week ago

Roast chicken for me if we're speaking generally. Salt & vinegar chipsticks however are easily the most addictive crisps.

The best potato chip I have had is the most recent Lay's promo flavor, Brazillian Garlic Sauce.

Those suckers taste like a crispy variant of the mashed potatoes I make at home. It's even buttery! It's soooo good, and I hate that it's just a promo flavor and not something they will keep around forever.

Canadian ketchup chips. Not sold in US because it hyper--stimulates women to hysteria.

Miss Vickie's Sea Salt and Malt Vinegar.

[-] 9point6@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Discos-level salt and vinegar is top of the league

(Thai sweet chilli sensations are also pretty elite)

Why are others wrong? Clearly scared of their own tastebuds

[-] uber_chicken@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Salt and vinegar

Skill issue

[-] yakko@feddit.uk 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Kettle Chips, sour cream and onion. Hardly ever see it anymore, but that's my all-timer. Everyone else is right about their pick, reason being I don't want to share.

I had to give up Takis, too "hyper-palatable" and addictive by design.

[-] zeroConnection@programming.dev 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

That's a difficult choice.

But it's very easy to pick the worst flavour - salt and vinegar.

[-] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 7 points 1 week ago

You mad bastard.

It was the Brannigans Beef and Mustard but that's just showing my age.

Now?

Prolly the Tesco own brand Beef and Horseradish

Why?

They actually taste of something. Most of the population are basic as as fuck and can't handle flavour

[-] 9point6@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I still daydream about the Brannigans beef and mustard, nothing is ever going to touch that greatness again

Salt is the best one, and it's because there is no crap in those, just potatoes, oil, salt yet they taste divine.

Runner up is Horseradish Cheddar and if you don't like those I understand, but the pungent horseradish and salty cheddar are so wonderful. And importantly, they don't have the disgusting powdered vinegar that ruins so many flavored chips.

[-] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 3 points 1 week ago

Walkers are utterly evil and a product of Satan's manky arse (because of their complete madness around packet colours). But, their pickled onion crisps make your mouth know you're alive.
