In my experience Lamb & Mint crisps are either quality or shit, little middle ground. When Walkers Sensations did them when they first came out they were fantastic. They bought them back for a limited run but were a pale imitation of the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Bought these from Poundstretcher and they're crazy moreish, not very hot but have a nice little kick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted July 18, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) I always grab a multipack of the meaty McCoy's rip offs from Aldi. The Bacon Sizzler is passable but the Flame Grilled Steak and the Thai Sweet Chicken are pretty great. The yesterday I spotted these for the first time... At just over a quid these are absolute class. The 'Sharing' tag is unrealistically optimistic. Edited July 18, 2023 by Silky Kisser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonworden Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I'm crap at uploading pics but Lays which for those without any culture is what many places in the world label their Walkers have released 2 special flavours in Cambodia. Amok which is a fantastic local curry dish and Leas Hal which isfriend clams with Chilli. Might actually pay the neighbours a visit again to try the Amok if they don't leak over the border. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep flying the flag, mind. Lays from the Polish shop always include some winners. For a "standard" e.g. non ridged crisp, the Green Onion is very powerful.

Next you'll be telling me that Axe is the main branding of Lynx and not the other way around or how about all those Opal cars not being just rip off copies of our good old Vauxhall's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 These new garlic bread crisps from Aldi are fucking gorgeous, I've always liked a garlic crisp and wonder why you so rarely get them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a shop near me that used to sell garlic plantain crisps a few years ago, which were fuggin' amazing. Unfortunately, I think the crisp company went out of business, because I've never been able to find them since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 I'm guessing they were imported? Usually when I see plantain chips they are, they sound lovely though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members gmoney Posted August 4, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted August 4, 2023 Not sure if they count as crisps, but these are heavenly, Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperBacon Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Had quite the variety over the last couple of weeks. First up, these from Lithuania were brilliant. Very nice bacon flavour and a decent texture. Bonus point for the random professor mascot. 8/10 Another Co-op cracker. These are lovely, and are more tomatoey than cheesy, but that's no bad thing. Will definitely purchase again. 9/10. These were OK, but again it's a case of the spice outdoing the flavour. I love how it says "perfect with beer" Such a nation of pissheads that they try and push alcohol on crisp buyers. I mean they're not wrong but still funny. 6/10 A belting offering from the local Spar shop. Not enough in the packet would be my only gripe. 8/10 These San Carlo crisps are one of the best I've ever tasted. Nails the flavour and just fantastic all round. 10/10 Also tried these but forgot to take a picture. The sweet potato ones, despite being Nongshim, were crap and really disappointing. 3/10 The cheese sticks from the Philippines were wicked. 7/10 And finally, haven't tried these, but I need to ASAP.
