Gosh! They're all a bit out of date! :rotfl:



I would've picked a Wimpy as the flavour of the 60s, as that was the original hamburger thing, in England anyway.


I wonder what they'd pick as the flavour of the 80s?
Or the 90s?

Reduced fat sun-dried tomato hummus as the flavour of the 2010's?

"1970's cheese fondue" - that's spot on, isn't it?

When did we first see Sushi? Would that be the flavour for the Noughties? Or was that in the 10s as well?

The other multipack in the Walkers 70 Years special editions has 1980's Chicken Tikka Masala, 1990's BBQ Rib, 2000's Sweet Chilli

I didn't fancy that one.

Yeah.... they make sense.

Don't think I fancy Sushi crisps!

I remember my first Wimpy. Sitting down to eat it with a knife and fork...

Is it just me who finds that a lot of these "special flavour" crisps, whoever they are made by, a bit strange tasting.
We had some cheese and onion the other day, hand cooked, I can't remember exactly what they were called, but it was posh for cheese and onion.
We thought they were nice, but didn't really taste of cheese or onion.

There are very few crisps I like, probably just as well.

I do like the Chilli ones, though, some of them, anyway.
Walkers used to do a really, really nice steak-flavoured one, but now they only do the ridged ones, which aren't the same.

Ones I do like are their unsalted ones, as I don't want to eat all that salt. You can really taste the fried-potato-ness!
After all the salty ones, they are a bit of an acquired taste, but the fried-potato-ness makes up for it eventually!

Yes I used to like the steak ones. Quite like the Seabrook plain ones. They taste quite potato-ey.

I eat crisps occasionally, apart from the odd binge though.

Walkers used to do a rather nice Lamb one in their Sensations range, supposedly based upon a North African lamb dish - then they dropped it :-(

Some of the non-potato crisps are rather nice - I'm somewhat partial to Tyrell's Parsnip crisps myself.

M&S used to sell some lovely olive-oil crisps.
They were my downfall. They were gorgeous!

They sold them for a bit, then stopped, then sold them again, then stopped.

I forget the brand name.



Edit....they might have been Torres, but I can't remember.

Torres also do the most wonderful almonds. No skins.
They squeak when you crunch them! I'm not joking! They really squeak!
