Best Cheese and Onion Crisps

jaffusmax · 20-09-2023 5:06pm #1

Just after eating 4 packs of Walkers cheese and onion crisps in a row.

I am 44 years old and I can finally admit to myself that Walkers cheese and onion are the best cheese and onion crisps there is!

No 1 Walker cheese and onion

No 2 Manhattan cheese and onion

No 3 King cheese and onion

No 4 ROI Tayto cheese and onion

No 5 Pringle cheese and onion

No 6 Hunky Dory cheese and onion

No 7 NI Tayto cheese and onion

Walkers get an immediate disqualification due to the colour of its packaging.

I'm in Tayto camp

The only correct answer is king

New favourite of mine and dirt cheap golden wonder kids introduced me to them

#1 without doubt is Nordie Tayto 'Craft' Vintage Irish Cheddar and Onion

Try them - you won't be disappointed

You sound like you have no taste buds, cheese and onion is and has always been a bland middle of the road flavour.

Ah the late glory days of boards, when we had a week-long battle to the death to decide just that question...

On so many levels is that list completely wrong. Walker are muck, have been for years.

My daughter loves Keoghs.

I don't eat crisps any more. Lost the taste for them but used to love Perri's.

ednwireland · 20-09-2023 5:24pm

Partial to Keogh's or o'donnells

I doubt very much they use Craft Vintage Irish Cheddar, whatever that is supposed to be.

rob316 · 20-09-2023 5:35pm

King, Tayto and O Donnells in that order. Walkers are dirt

Smokey bacon was damn tasty.

It doesn't say they use Craft Vintage Irish Cheddar - it says they're "Craft Hand Cooked Crisps".

Each crisp is meticulously hand-sculpted from an individual potato by Mr Nordie Tayto himself, bathed in Vintage Irish Cheddar Cheese and organically raised Omagh Onions in his pocket for a week, before being gently double-fried in the oil from his sebaceous glands in the blistered palm of his little yellow hand.

Rubberchikken · 20-09-2023 5:43pm

I mightn't be remembering right but the packet seemed to be smaller than the crisps on sale nowadays.

Some of them I know they're for 'sharing' but ....😊

To make our packet, a Friday night treat, last longer we used to crush the crisps before starting! Sad I realise😁

nachouser · 20-09-2023 5:44pm

Snax, all day long.

xeresod · 20-09-2023 5:46pm

Bring back Perri

Would their hands not burn? Sounds like a health and safety issue?

The tournament and purge threads were epic. 😁

The correct answer is Tayto, they won the tournament so what more proof do you need?

6 pack. Solution.

No chance! Golden Wonder crisps need a chemical hazard sign on them!

You know the bit in Fight Club where Tyler Durden burns the narrator’s hand with lye, then douses it in vinegar to ease the pain but leave the kiss scar? Chuck Palahniuk got the idea for that after touring the nordie Tayto factory on holidays. Much of the bits of American Psycho that were in the book but didn’t make it into the movie (the rat in the tube, making the sausage out of the prostitute, the kid in the reptile house in the zoo) were based on Mr Nordie Tayto too. He’s pretty hardcore.

Makes sense now.

Dial Hard · 20-09-2023 6:13pm

You're all wrong. Salt & vinegar crisps are objectively superior to cheese & onion in every imaginable way.

I'm not sure I could eat four packets of anything in a row, though. I'd barely eat four packets of crisps a year.

pleasant Co. · 20-09-2023 6:17pm

Kettle crisps for me at the moment, hunky dory were there but very very inconsistent flavouring across packets so don't really bother with them and this seems to be a trend with crisps under the Tayto brand in general.
