I include buffalo as part of my crisp rotation although they need to improve the consistency of the flavouring...

Never believe the advert OP...

Tayto Cheese and onion on bread and butter. That's the stuff right there.
Not Northern Tayto, they'll break your teeth!

Tayto and Hunky Dorys?

Masala

Are they better that Okey Dokeys from Aldi???

I love a bag of Salt & Vinegar Hunky Dorys but for the past several years now the flavouring has been very inconsistent. More often than not it's like they forgot to add the flavouring and then on the odd occasion I do taste it it's like they've put in way too much.

O'Donnells Tipperary crisps - for the win!!!

the beer revolu

Loved hunky dory smokey bacon flavour but the cnuts discontinued them.
Similar flavor to the old SamSpudz smokey bacon flavour.

Buffalo are rubbish in comparison.

TheValeyard

O Donnells Relish and Chedder is where its at.

the beer revolu

Keogh's are way, way better than O' Donnell's and there's no fake bullshlt provenance family farm crap - O Donnell's are a Tayto Brand.

Keogh's are not only way nicer they are actually family owned afaik and made from spuds actually from the farm. And their flavours aren't a sugary mess.

Purple is a Fruit

I'm more of an Okey Dokeys woman.

Strumms

They are ****... flavoring is so artificial and they taste like cardboard, texture too..

Loafing Oaf

Keoghs and O’Donnells are the Messi and Ronaldo of Irish crisps to my mind.

Keoghs core range is superb and have occasionally put out things like Secret Stuffing Turkey flavour crisps at Xmas which were fantastic.

That said O’Donnells Ballymaloe crisps are peerless in my opinion and their new Black Pudding flavour are not to be sniffed at either.

O'Donnells black pudding are very smokey bacon esque
Keoghs flame grilled steak are top notch though.
+ its ridged for your pleasure

How dare you use that language in relation to such a superb delicacy?! :mad:

I wouldn't say they're bad. I do like them. I eat a lot of them. Sour Cream and Onion. But only because the bastards at Tayto, subsequent to making their brand more front and centre on the new bags of HD, they are no longer making Ripples! WTactualF?! I was so annoyed I emailed them. They simply agreed that Ripples are nice and that was that. Didn't confirm, deny, nothing....

They did this years ago again, they flattened the taste of a Tayto Ripple for a few years, but they came back again a few years ago. Now, they're gone again. They are far better than anything else Sour Cream and Onion. I'm annoyed.

Ubbquittious

Tayto taytos are the best taytos

greenspurs

Walkers MAX - Cheese and onion are after being destroyed also ...

WTF have they done to them - they were so nice in a crusty roll .......

Hang on…ripples are still available!

I got a few bags of sour cream and onion ripples in Aldi a few months ago. I snaffled through them in no time.

Tell you what though, taytos limited edition offerings are consistently crap. Spice bag, philly cheese steak etc.

Pure gimmick. Hopeless.

Walking_Wolf

O'Donnell's Black pudding flavour crisps are delicious. And I agree, Cheese & Onion Hunky Dorys are disgusting. A lot of the UK brand crisps are better, Burts do a delicious C&O.

Had no idea of the Tayto connection.

Largo, Tayto's parent company, actually make the crisps for O'Donnell's.

Are Snax still a thing?

Rancheros?

I mostly moved away from crisps in my teens to Manhattan popcorn.

Nah they taste gone off.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

They need to bring these back.

Munstergirl854

God be with the days of walking down the street and every second child in a buggy munching on a packet of Snax.

When I was in school, we had vending machines and the buffalo hunky dorys wouldnt last pissing time,serious seller.

I used to love the Manhattan cheesy popcorn.

O'Donnell ballymaloe are seriously good

Lewis_Benson

I prefer Tesco Value plain crisps OP.

Oh yes, the lack of flavour and texture makes me feel so good.

PsychoPete

Loved buffalo hunky dorys but the flavour is way too inconsistent now. In school buffalo hunky dorys were ridiculously popular. It's like chocolate, companies changing ingredients,taking things out,reducing sugar etc just completely ruining things that were once lovely

Potential-Monke

I have somehow managed to get one of those rare decent bags of Hunky Doryys tonight, SC&O of course. Flavour is good, texture isn't bad, bit too crunchy maybe. Not bad overall. But still not Ripples. There's some place in Dubland that delivers, they have them, but Tesco, Supervalu, etc, nah... out of stock in store and online.

I used to always get the Chio Paprika chips in Tesco too, but now they're €4 a pack so **** that, they used to be less than €2 iirc. Fecking lovely though, so I usually splurge on a couple of bags on payday!

PTH2009

HP Discos (Salt and Vinegar) and Mini Chips are gone rank, very little taste nowadays. One shop selling them around the area the odd time

Seems nobody wants to support an Irish brand still producing proper Cheese and Onion, and the sort of Salt and Vinegar that makes your cheeks pucker.

Manhattan. Not just nuts and popcorn. The best 'old-fashioned' crisps still on the market.
