I’m very happy to see a casualUK replacement for the suddenly redditless. I literally signed up to Lemmy about 10 minutes ago so I’m still feeling this thing out!
I’m looking forward to arguing about crisps with you all 🙃
Only after a full family-size bag, where you’ve burned the taste buds off your tongue, can’t taste anything but salt, and have a case of the crisp-sweats. Up to then they’re just grand.
The co-op own brand version of kettle are the best flavoured salt and vinegar crisps I have had in a long time as I have found most other brands taste more watered down these days. Don’t know if that is changes or my taste buds getting old but they hit the spot!
Expat here, and I just got back. I brought back Quavers, Nik-Naks, Wheat Crunchies, Monster Munch, Space Raiders,… but I didn’t bring any sort of prawn cocktail.
Morning dudes

Welcome, glad you’re here 🙂
(Salt and vinegar are the best crisps)
Alternate opinion: salt and vinegar are rank.
Hard agree, they’re terrible 🤮

I concur, but what type of salt and vinegar?

Agree with co-op salt & vinegar being the best (I do like mccoys too) - don’t really like walkers any more, the crisis are too thin!
McCoys salt and vinegar for sure.
But I do enjoy a Walkers Prawn Cocktail too
I can confirm when you leave the UK, prawn cocktail are the ones you miss the most.
Plus, you can’t explain to people because the name itself makes them sound fuckin disgusting

Not even Skips. Am I even British anymore??
McCoy’s are great. I’d usually go for a supermarket brand “finest” standard / kettle crisp.
Fond memories of salt and vinegar Discos giving my mouth chemical burns as a child 😂😭
They aren’t Discos unless the corners of your mouth are burning.
Discos start hurting if you have too many. They give you tiny cuts and then load up the salt to aggravate them.
McCoys are my favourite.
Also agreeing that co-op are the best, but if you find the vinegar in Kettle overwhelming then maybe it’s not for you, they are very vinegary.
Crisps are not worth having unless they’re salt and vinegar.
M&S own brand salt and vinegar are the closest I have found to my all-time favourites which no longer exist…
(Tom’s foods vinegar & salt from my childhood)
Cheese and Onion gang, rise up!
I’ve become partial to those Thai Sweet Chilli crips. nomnom
Aldi’s beef mega hoops taste like beef Monster Munch and have better texture.
Because you asked.
Guess I’m making a trip to Aldi’s then!
You make it sound like it isn’t already a weekly pilgrimage?!
Is it controversial to say I’m a big fan of Walkers Baked Ready Salted? 😅
Backbone of the country
I’ve recently become addicted to aldis their chilli chicken crisps.
