Quite, that's where prawn cocktail flavour comes in.

How about a mini cheddar Quimmy?

Wait a minute, I thought you were on about prawn crackers/prawn crisps and similar. Are you saying you do or don't like these?

 

[quimcunx]

Prawn cocktail crisps are lush. As are prawn crackers and skips whatever flavour 'skip' is meant to be.

Mini cheddars have their place but I meant these.

 

[spanglechick]

They sell taytos at the half moon in herne hill.

They're rubbish. After our moment with the bananas.... I thought we had something. CLEARLY NOT.

Ah, might have to venture up there this autumn then.

I like pretty much all crisps tbh.

Cheese moments also good.

 

[kittyP]

I love shrimp/scampi etc but they've no business being turned into crisps.

Ssshhh, you do know that they have never even really seen a scampi?

Yes. I have preferences and stuff that I would never think to buy but I cannot think atm of a crisp that I would turn down if offered?

 

[Biddlybee]

heh, scampi are also called norway lobsters

 

[TruXta]

Ssshhh, you do know that they have never even really seen a scampi?

Of course. Same as steak flavoured crisps have never seen a cow. It's a necessary pretense that keeps us all sane, is all I'm saying.

 

[kittyP]

heh, scampi are also called norway lobsters

Are they?

 

[Biddlybee]

Are they?

and dublin bay prawn... lol, perfect wedding food then trux?

 

[kittyP]

Yum!!! Wedding scampi

 

[TruXta]

We just call them lobster.

Yes, that's a good one. Not the cheapest mind you!

 

[kittyP]

What do you call lobster?

 

[TruXta]

What do you call lobster?

Norway lobsters.

 

[Biddlybee]

 

[quimcunx]

apparently the finnish have crayfish parties. Do the norwegians have something similar?

 

[kittyP]

Scampi

Lobster

What do you call which?

 

[Onket]

Yes. I have preferences and stuff that I would never think to buy but I cannot think atm of a crisp that I would turn down if offered?

The only crisp I would turn down, is salt and vinegar flavour. Yuk.

 

[TruXta]

apparently the finnish have crayfish parties. Do the norwegians have something similar?

Yes, although they're not as common. Not that many crayfish around anymore.

Scampi

Lobster

What do you call which?

We call them both lobster. They're different species tho.

 

[kittyP]

The only crisp I would turn down, is salt and vinegar flavour. Yuk.

We fight over the SnV in this house

 

[twistedAM]

Taytos are over-rated, tbf.

They're just a standard crisp, not some premium guff like Salty Dog, but still piss all over Walkers

So how do you know what your asking for/getting?

I wasn't a fan when I moved to the UK. Still don't buy them, but a handful now and then is OK. Same with ready salted, never buy them, don't mind them.

 

[TruXta]

So how do you know what your asking for/getting?

Depends on the time of the year I reckon. Local ones you can only get during a specific window of time. Other than that they'll be imported.

I find that premium/kettle/posh crisps are usually too thick and too salty. Hence I'd rather Walkers or other bog-standard brands.

Still, how do you know if you ask for an imported lobster you are not going to get an imported scampi?

Kettle chips hurt to eat

 

[Biddlybee]
