If / when you get home to Ireland give these a try. They are lovely crisps

Not actually these but the translation of the brand name always tickles me.

This is my favourite amusingly named Chinese crisp brand:

The tube has a special lining?

 

[dessiato]

These are the ones we buy most often


But I prefer these

Lays do a wasabi flavour here that's pretty good, but think I'd go cheese and onion.

One of my favorites dishes for posh date nights when I am trying to impress a woman:

Large bag of cool dorritos, place in overn dish

Melt cheese on top of them under the grill

Pour one Tin of siansburys chilli con carni on top of the dorritos

Poor quacamolie on top

Enjoy.

Should be the chilli, then the cheese. Otherwise, a great idea. I’ll need to try it.

We can get wasabi peanuts which I love. I must look for wasabi crisps.

Have tried Keoghs - very agreeable

Iirc there was a very low budget advert for these shown in N.I. in the 80s. It featured a generic “Ulster Granny” and Dennis Taylor (who’d recently won the World Snooker Championship). In it, Granny hands Dennis a King crisp to which he declares “There’s enough flavour there to sink the pink!” before proceeding to do just that. I recall thinking it was a bit smutty at the time

Mention chrisps and the POMM mob wheel up in numbers. British, like rain and the Royal family.

Thomas, a lad I knew growing up, ate 27 packs of space invaders over 2 hours in the summer of 93.

Puffed maize snacks are not crisps and including them on this thread just confuses the issue (IMHO)

 

[xenon]

Monster Munch, chip sticks, the big hula hoops even normal crisps are all regulars here. But if we're talking this dire banishment situation, it's got to be a robust utility sort of crisp. Something you can rely on in such testing circumstances. So it's salt and vinegar McCoys for me.

Cheese and onion Squares.

 

[bimble]

Nik Naks nice and spicy. I think I put about 6.5k packs of them in during my pot years

These are brilliant, they were the only thing that really hit the spot, stonedly, with ribena. Haven't had for years but giant multipack on shopping list very glad they still exist.

 

[Chilli.s]

It'd have to be cheese and onion, ground up it would make an ingredient to add to island food, both fish and veg and meat.

 

[BigMoaner]

Always found Mcoys to be executive or luxury chrisps. But like luxury or executive cars, can be no fun to drive.

 

[BigMoaner]

Often the cheaper end of the market was more interesting, satisfying. Middle class crisps are great in theory but I still head towards space invaders in heart.

 

[Indeliblelink]

I wish they would do these again.

 

[spitfire]

Middle class crisps you say?

I like these. I fully expect to be up against the wall CTGR.

Think we're about the same age, did you ever have Ghostbuster crisps?

They remain to this day, the worst crisp or crisp like snack I've ever tried. Worse than Twiglits. They tasted of rust and stale cheese.

Short lived for very good reason.

It's not a rule, but with chrisps money doesn't always buy a better experience

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Possibly

Are we all going to gloss over the abomination that is cheese and onion in a red bag?

Oh totally.

There used to be these things called Suppa Crunchies. A much nicer knocoff Wotsit only available in corner shops. And Space Invaders, (not Raiders) had a mini comic strip on the back and cost 10p IIRC.
