wheres the pies Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I have to say, as countries go, the U.K. has the biggest and best variety of crisps in the world. Speaking as someone who has had crisps in many continents. We definitely have the greatest variety. J l have to agree with you on that the crisps that you get abroad are rank tasteless bought a multi pack of brannigans mustard and roast beef brilliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Endell Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Worst crisps I've ever had were peanut flavour (!) ones I bought in Skopje - I didn't realise they were peanut flavour until I'd tucked into them - felt a bit queasy for hours afterwards.

Orraloon Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I rarely eat crisps but enjoyed a packet of root vegetable crisps the other day. Beetroot, sweet potato and parsnip used, rather than white potatoes. Braw Ach min, they are disgusting - far too sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stapes Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Aye '78 Soccer Stars for World Cup, with the player cards . Had them all except Robbie Rensenbrink. Still have most of them. Invented a World Cup football game with them that kept me amused for hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their beetroot ones are alright, but the sweet potato and plantain ones are fantastic. Go under the name of "Glennans" I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Gas Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Barely eat crisps anymore but why do packets of Walkers look smaller and smaller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flora MaDonald Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I've dealt with some minging claims over the years with crisps - fingernails in packets, a screw(!), pubes, etc. For that end, I'm always slightly wary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ormond Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Plain or pan bread? Neither. Just shitey Yank bread. The bread really is pish over here. The crisps aren't much better. Three flavours are all they do here. Plain, cheesey kinds or barbecue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eisegerwind Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Surprised nobody's mentioned this yet but most of the items discussed are not crisps. Crisps are thinly sliced fried potatoes. Wheat,maize or re-consituted potatoes are not crisps they are snacks and that includes Pringles which are shit. You can buy proper crisps in supermarkets in Portugal in a sort of clear wrapper that are real crisps,like crisps we used to buy here before they done all the 40% less fat nonsense. Eat a packet of those and your hands and face will be smeared with oil (and presumably you arteries), proper crisps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDYER63 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I remember when I was in my teens there was a Sunday market in Paisley . It sold all sorts of shit, it would be shut down by health and safety these days, but I remember buying bags of wee square hard things and when you put them in the chip pan they expanded to about 5 times their size , they were a bit like prawn crackers but were square shaped. It was like a magic trick 😁 Anyone remember them ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
