    Back in the late 80's these were the only tortilla chips you could get in ireland, but the other day for whatever reason the Mignons Morceaux popped in my head, which were a bit harder to find, but nonetheless tasty.

    I'd love to taste these again, but i dont think they're made anymore. this site from 1998 lists the entire range.

    anyone else remember them?

    I just loved those Mignons Morceaux! Haven't seen them since the mid-90s though :( I suppose baking a garlic baguette to an inch of it's lie would be a poor substitute? ;)

    Legendary snacks those. You can get similar things in M&S but they are pricey and come in pathetically small packs.

    The company was bought in the 90's & then again by KP. Their snacks are still available in England, Sainsburys I believe distribute them.
    Punjab Puri was my favourite, but alas they have moved on & have introduced new flavors to the range

    The hot ones in the black pack were the biz.

    Still available in the north in most (if not all) of the U.K. supermarkets in the north if you're ever up there.

    I haven't checked myself for this item, but try Amazon as well for this kind of thing.

    Intersnack, who now own Tayto, own them. Tayto are fairly decent at picking up social media trends etc. Might be worth twitter bombarding them!
