  • I simply refuse to buy crisps if the packet describes them in the Americanised way by calling them 'CHIPS'

    Why on earth do these crisps companies have to go all Yankee on us, they're bloody CRISPS not chips!!!

    Chips are what I get from the CHIP shop with bloody Fish!

    My fave crisps have all vanished so I am left with my second and third choices - McCoys Cheese & onion flavour and seabrook cheese & onion crinkle cuts.
    My all time no 1 was seabrooks cheese & onion STRAIGHT CUTS(always better than crinkle) followed by Smiths and Golden Wonder of the same flavour.
    Can't stand Walkers.

    I live in Nottingham and love Seabrook crisps! I get them from the 99p shop, the poundhsop, or occasionally Asda or Morrisons

    Another vote for Real crisps.
    If I buy a pack of six I eat three small packs. Sometimes I can't get the Real ones and buy similar ( Kettle/Red Sky) but they come in a large bag, then I eat the lot in one go.

    I rarely eat crisps now - trying to be healthy. But I do enjoy Walkers Baked crisps - especially Mango and Chilli as well as Sour Cream and Onion, but my local Sainsburys don't do them :(. I usually just have Cheese and Onion now.

    My favourite crisps are Doritos Chili Heatwave (especially with humous) and Salt and Vinegar chipsticks (nearly every brand). I can't get enough of these 2 sometimes.

    used to love tudor crisps and chipmonk oxo flavoured were the tastiest ever both sadley no longer with us

    I used to love Tudor as well. Especially Pickled Onion - and I hate pickled onions!

    At the moment I prefer Golden Wonder but there aren't so many offers on. There seems to be offers on Walkers somewhere constantly.

    I'm trying not to buy too many crisps though, so it's not that big of a deal really.

    Our local Costcutter sell them. A different packet though. One with a bigger picture.

    I love Walkers Pickled onion flavour and Tomato sauce last time I saw them around a year ago in Home bargains for 10p
