Best Cheese and Onion crisps?

Eathrin

There's a lot of options on the market today, Tayto seems to have dominance over the Irish market today but I don't really have much brand loyalty so I don't mind buying a cheaper bag of crisps or paying more on occasion for one that tastes better in my opinion.

How about you guys?

Keogh's > Tayto > King

RossyG

Yes, I also buy crisps that taste nice, especially C&O Hula Hoops.

Ma Reilly's.

Like the hundred previous threads on this, Tay-toh

Walkers.

Walker's Deep Ridged

*gets coat*

King.

I'm partial to the Kettle Sweet Chilli and Sour Cream also.

Not into Smokey Bacon at all.

Wouldn't be mad into Salt & Vinegar but got into the habit of mixing bags of Cheese & Onion with Salt & Vinegar to surprise my palate.

Paddy Cow

Can't stand cheese and onion. Tayto salt n vinegar or smokey bacon ftw.

FYI, Pringles are muck.

tallaghtfornia

Has to be Tayto for sure!!!

Eathrin

Not mad about Walkers but they're often cheap enough so they do.
Tayto and King are about on par.
I had a bag of O'Donnells recently and they were delicious.

I still haven't tried Keogh's yet however so I can't say they are the best just yet.

Not convinced by these, got a few bags when they were half price after the launch, wouldn't be bothered getting them again even when I saw them on special offer at the weekend in Dunnes I think.

Odonnells are the business when you're out having a pint of guinness....

Staplor

King Gold Standard - seriously good

RossyG

I can't get Taytos here in England. I can't even order them on the website. They'll send them to mainland Europe but not here.

Fixer Upper

I find Tayto a tad too greasy. Walkers all the way!

Mint Sauce

Tayto - Yes yes yes
King - very close second
Hunky Dorys - \
O'Donnells - never tried
Keogh's - /
Walkers - they're meh
McCoys - dont do cheese and onion, its some fancy name like cheddar cheese and spring onion. Horrible though

Perhaps the Northern Ireland Tayto company have exclusive UK rights?

Yes, I think it's a licencing issue.

Can't believe the amount of people not voting for Tayto on this one, would have thought it's pretty much accepted that they're the best C&O there is, no debate needed. Philistines the lot of ye! That said, Hunky Dory Buffalo crisps are fecking lovely too.

ITS_A_BADGER

i would have said tayto until recently i tried keoghs, they are fecking lovely !

Does anybody remember the bags of plain crisps you could get years ago that had a little dark blue sachet of salt in them so you could add your own if you wanted? Yum

EoghanIRL

Without a doubt hunky dorys

Eathrin

I'm surprised at the amount of people that are voting walkers.
Not that they're disgusting or anything, but I wouldn't consider them particularly tasty in comparison to some Irish crisp brands.

Very true, as if someone starts a row, you can just slash their throats with one of them. Shame their too fcuking hard and sharp to eat though.


Not as bad as Kettle crisps though, the stanley blade of the crisp world.

Yeah, well that's what happens.
Fuck with us.
800 Years.
No Tayto Crisps for you - Ever. Who's laughing now?

Golden Wonders were quite nice back in the 90s. Im assuming the golden wonders in the shops at the moment are the same brand? They seemed to disappear for years. I like King too and King Jackets.

EoghanIRL

I think tayto aren't consistent some packets taste cheesier than other .

However tayto bistro are lovely

Yeah, but that's given me a great idea. Cheese & onion crisps as a pizza topping! Or has it been done already?

ricero

Has anyone tried mahatten the popcorn brand new cheese and onion crisps ? Very nice

Galia

Just a quick one is it possible to get jackets crisps anywhere?
they were the more luxury version of king crisps.
mmmmm Quality.

zenno

On my way over to the 24 hour to pick up two packs of King Crisps, the best of the best of the best.

I think it's king or maybe tayto that have launched their cheese & onion crisps to china recently and they cost €5 for the chinese to purchase them for 1 pack. ?.

Perri are owned by the same company that own Hunky Dorys, Tayto and King. http://www.largofoods.ie/our-brands/

Apparently they also own Sam Spudz:

http://www.largofoods.ie/our-company/company-history/

Subsequently, Largo Foods followed this with the purchase of the “Sam Spudz” brand in 1995

Sam Spudz Burger Bites and Onion Rings six packs are available in supermarkets anyway.

What about the Tayto Chocolate?

Pity they've been ruined by foreign muck.

Unreal, been saying it for years.

Anyone who doesn't mix eating a bar of chocolate while eating a bag of tayto is missing out on a taste sensation.

Cosmicfox

The taytos you get up North in the yellow packet are the best ones, followed by Walkers.

RidleyRider

Definitely has to be walkers- even though they smell!
