I saw them last time I was in Farm Foods and thought they were pricey but they were invoiced in their weekly email which makes me think that it might be a good price for them (£1.99 or two for £3) sounds expensive but they look incredibly thick. The main thing that caught my eye was the flavour selection - salt and vinegar, cheese and onion, all the classics, even that old favourite crisp flavour EGG! Egg flavour crisps? Egg! Has anyone braved them? Obviously egg and chips works but on a crisp? I'm going to have to try them Walkers did an English breakfast crisp for a promotion which were quite eggy and shit.

BrodyGraham Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Hipster favourites Torres do a Fried Egg flavour crisp, which was mentioned a fair few pages back. They're incredibly morish but I ate a whole bag and couldn't decide how much I liked them. My wife however was livid that I spent best part of a fiver on, "........a bag of farts...".

Has anyone braved them? Obviously egg and chips works but on a crisp? I'm going to have to try them I really like them. The first time I tried it, I genuinely didn’t know whether I liked it or not. It absolutely tastes as it’s supposed to, it’s very eggy, but it’s a bit jarring initially. But the more I ate, the more it grew on me. They’re very moreish.

Paid Members FLips Posted April 27, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted April 27, 2023 Hope it’s nothing like the salted egg popcorn we got from the asian supermarket once. Salty and eggy do not a good popcorn make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted April 27, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted April 27, 2023 I liked the Walkers Builder's Breakfast eggy crisps, and I like the Torres Tried Egg crisps too. The imported east Asian Salted Egg crisps I posted a few pages back were not good - flavour was OK, texture was soggy and greasy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted April 28, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted April 28, 2023 The Shirker's Rest pub in New Cross sell Slabs, and they're superb. I usually go salt and vinegar, though they've recently branched out to Sweet Chilli, so definitely going to have to give them a go. They cracked the secret of the Egg & Chips flavour, though - they give you a little pot of HP sauce to go with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Wiseau Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 (edited) So I got some egg flavour Slabs, at first it was really weird because they REALLY taste like fried egg, strangely so. I wasn't convinced last night because it was weird but this morning I tried them with some brown sauce (the lidl copy of Tiptree) and it was an eye opener, bloody lovely stuff, but then I took it up a notch and had a crisp sandwich, lots of butter, brown sauce and it was amazing. I can fully recommend them. Edited April 30, 2023 by Harry Wiseau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted May 3, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted May 3, 2023 I've waxed lyrical about Lorenz Crunchips in here before and on the way out of the Polish shop this lunch time I spotted two flavour I can't wait to try - Falafel and Currywurst.

SuperBacon Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 New ones I've tried lately. These came in this month's Snackd box. They're from the USA and are impressively tomatoey and you get a lot in the tub. 8/10 despite not being a big fan of the flavour normally. These also came in the box and I'm including them here despite them being more of a crouton. From Ukraine, 10/10. They're wicked, also comes in a salami flavour. New gimmicky Doritos will always get bought by me as I'm an idiot. Not too bad, more of a BBQ flavour than anything and again, despite me not liking that flavour at all, decent enough, 7/10. Good dust crust for your finger @air_raid Finally, thought I'd share this. Ian (BrutalMoose) is probably my favourite YouTuber (reminder that I'm 38) and these crisps are all from Korea. I need to try those Churro ones. Warning: he has a pretty grating twang and some of his humour is a bit weird if you are going into the video cold, but I have watched hours of this man eating frozen dinners and walking around malls as he is the absolute loveliest. The arcade videos are highly recommended as are the aforementioned frozen dinners where he rates (you've guessed it) frozen dinners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs raid insisted on getting Doritos brand (and only Doritos brand) sour cream dip for them, which after failure in Asda and Tesco, as usual, we sourced from GoLocal.
