Where do you get them from?

From here - https://www.kikimiumiu.co.uk - a branch has opened near me recently, and it's proving absolutely lethal to my bank balance.

I think it's best for all concerned that I block that website.

I've quite taken to these recently:

A fair replacement for these, which seem to have disappeared:

Just tried the Aldi special edition Kentucky BBQ crisps.  I’ll be buying the shop out tomorrow if they are still selling them.  Best BBQ flavour I’ve ever stated.  They feel like sticky ribs, but without stickiness.  Amazing.

Aldi frequently releases amazing special edition crisps, only to never bring them back. I’d been on their side in the Colin the Caterpillar legal dispute, but the more they do this, the more my mind changes. It’s cruel!

Aldi seem to have their own version of Cheetos, Tornadoz. BBQ flavour and a flaming hot variant. Will report back on how they are.

“Exceptional By Asda” have the Christmas flavours out and Mrs raid grabbed a packet of the turkey dinner flavour before I had chance to answer. Very nice too, worth trying for £1.34 before they inevitably go up in price near to Christmas.

I know. It’s not Christmas.

The "Fiery Hot Cheezios" are great, the more Wotsit type ones. I'll be sure to grab these too.

The Steak Cheezio's one are good too. Becoming a regular pickup from Aldi for me.

Tornadoz, both flavours, turned out to be great. Will definitely work them into the rotation.

Found some Wasabi Lays in the local Asian supermarket, solid 8/10.

They have a real nice kick but it's not overpowering the potato crisp.

Went to aldi to see if they had any of the special edition Kentucky BBQ crisps left, and sadly the shelves were now full of Christmas goodies.  I must have loooked forlorn as the lad sticking the shelves asked me what I was looking for.  He nodded when I said they were the greatest crisps ever and told me to wait a minute, went in the back and brought me out 5 bags that were on the way back to the depot.  I think he’s my new best friend.

These were good, as Bret's always are.

Mild, slightly fruity - sort of a Coronation chicken kind of flavour.

I have seen some online recommendations lately for these from Lidl.

Very nice they are too. Light Lays type crisps with a Garlic flavour that builds well. You get a bloody big bag for £1.50 too. They are part of Lidl's Central and Eastern European week, and available till next Thursday. Great value for money and I also went to Aldi to see if they had this.

They did as well. Seen quite a few recommendations for this too and it pairs devastatingly well with the garlic crisps. It is extremely hard not to destroy both in one sitting.

It's not as big as it seems in the picture as the pot is quite shallow but you get 170 grams. Well worth £2 and would definitely buy again. They have a few of these Loaded Dips, the Indian one is supposed to be nice too.
