Crisps. Flavours, Memories and the best.


Recommended Posts

Monday evenings, when I was young, meant a trip to the local swimming pool. Afterwards, being a creature of habit as most small children are, there was always a packet of smoky bacon crisps and a bag of iced gems.

Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

Holy ###### that fired off an old memory, heading to Fairfax baths and ending up after with bags of Frazzles or a Double Dip lol

Seabrooks for a while have been producing Lea & Perrins flavour "limited edition" bags which I have only found in our local Morrison's. Suffice to say I get at least two six packs every time I go there (which isn't that frequent).

My memory tells me they don't taste quite like the original Worcester sauce version, my favourite crisp of all time, but they are bloody close.

They used to keep a bottle of L&P 's behind the bar at my local , few shakes in a bag of ready salted Seabrooks were the DB's .

A few years ago, a mate and I were motorbike camping near Bethlehem. Late arrival as usual, so off to the local pub. Given it was past 10 pm, no food, so we bought a bag of crisps each and the landlord popped a pickled egg in each bag. 🤮🤮🤮

Original 1990s Flaming Hot Monster Munch were a go to for me at that time.

Other personal favourites:

Nice n Spicy Nik Naks

Space Raiders

Ringos

Are we branching out from crisps to corn snacks now?

First thing I thought of when I saw the title of this thread, I believe they were always the best sellers in West Cumbria

Still are , last thing people  who have left the area do when visiting relatives , is make a quick trip to the Cash and Carry and buy a box load to take home ........any Pub in West Cumbria  which doesn`t sell CheeseXL is very much frowned on .
