    They probably have to be for health purposes...

    Ah yes, "Bacon fries", the B-side to their other great song "Meat is Murder".

    When I was living in London my friend was at a conference for the Marine Stewards Council in the Southbank and she picked me up a packet of the fabled Cheese Flavoured moments from the food spread. I couldn't believe my eyes when she presented them to me. I'm still not even sure if it happened. They were weird. They have kind of a gooey interior. I've never seen them for sale here or the UK. Whatever happens until I depart this world, I'll always know I tasted CFMs, and I truly lived.


    Tried them years ago in a random pub in Spain cant remember if they where any good. Girlfriend then bought me a whole card of them one year and jesus they taste mank.

    Imagine someone got a horrible cheese like smelly substance and wrapped it in some sort of crispy not quite batter not quite crisp texture........

    Scampi Fries were my favourite bar snack ever. Finding them in Dealz I thought my life was finally complete, till my boyfriend leaned over me shoulder as I was picking them up and said "Scampi Fries? In college we used to call those a bag of fannies".

    I still eat them now the odd time, but that imagery sapped all the enjoyment out of it.

    They used to be vegetarian back in the day! They're not anymore, no idea why they changed it.

    How about Morrissey's vegetarian fries? After all, meat is murder.

    Glazers Out!

    Why do they only make these in the small packs..it ends too fast. Any other bacon fries cant get close to smiths

    Do you like em

    They make them in small packs...so you'll buy another one. And another one. And another one. Stop when you stomach starts feeling queasy.

    You, person on the internet, are the first I've met that has claimed to have tasted these wonders. The Arc of the Covenant...Moments.

    Also we call Scampi Fries - Fishy Pillows. Apparently Amazon sell them in obscene quantities.

    Deals also sell Black County Pork Scratchings. Yum.

    I always associate them with old man pubs back when I used to drink. Sitting in Mulligan's on Sunday afternoons thinking after a good few drinks we should really go out and get some food but just kept eating Bacon Fries instead. There was no soakage in them so it usually didn't end well.

    The salt makes people drink more, thats why you find them in pubs i prefer scampi though. Don't even get me started on pork scratchings,the mere mentioning of them makes my cannabis addled brain conjure up images of a big fat pig rolling around in its own feces scratching it's hole with some chap catching it all up in a little bag,but yet, somehow they've crossed the Irish Sea and are slowly but steadily making inroads into the savoury snack market here.

    It's alright, they give it a blast of a hose to get the worst of the **** off before they crisp it up.

    Twiglets.
    Why can't you get Twiglets in Eire?
    I did see them in Dealz once but the Gaelic anti-snack police must have confiscated them.

    That reminds me of skips or as they're more commonly known 'minge flakes' :)

    They are made with Soya not Bacon. They should be called Soya bites.

    Smith's Bacon Fries = Yes. Glad to see them getting the appreciation they deserve.

    They are actually called 'Bacon Flavour Fries' on the packaging....

    I haven't eaten a kebab since somebody referred to it as a "whale's gee"

    When I used to deliver to bars there was a lot of "Woops that packets damaged can't send them in like that" moments!

    Has anyone every seen Cheese Flavour Moments for real? They're the missing part of the Smiths trinity and while you'll always see Bacon Fries and Scampi Fries, I've never once seen their Cheese Flavour Moments in the wild, despite the fact that they're always advertised on the bags of the others.

    Been mentioned a couple of times in the thread. They sound absolutely disgusting.

    I think Ive seen them in Fresh in Smithfield. Other than that, possibly in a pub in Carlow. Boy, these beasts are rare.
