They were nicer when you could only get them in pubs. You'd savour every last one. Very expensive, very small bags and very annoying if your mate wanted to share!

Once dealz started selling six pack bacon fries/ scampi for 1.50 they never tasted quite as good!

They're alright. They are probably in small packs because I think they are about 130 calories roughly the same as a packet of King Crisps so thats the portion size to still be considered a snack maybe? How many grams are in pack?

They're mad expensive in Ireland. It was a sight to behold when I found out that they're only 40p a packet in our soccer club over here

It's the only food a proper pub should serve

Maybe the scampi if your feeling adventurous

Love them

If I remember correctly the tesco bacon fries are similar.

Pity you can't get scampi in a big bag.

The flavour lasts hours too. You can burp later in the night and mmmm bacon.

The_Valeyard · 22-09-2016 09:39PM

Mmmmmmmm

These things equaled it's value in a round of pints!! Very nom nom nom

I ate them by the card. Delicious.

So you don't OD and wake up in hospital in a bacony stupor.

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 pub sambo: scampi fry between two bacon fries. Rinse with beer. Repeat.

I've been through them all - Bombay mix, Scampi fries, Bacon fries, Dry Roast, Crisps. The bacon fries are up there. But the rolls royce is Vinegar flavoured nuts. They're divine

tallaghtfornia · 22-09-2016 09:56PM

Ah for f*ck sake! Kids today!!! It's a scientific proportion passed down through generations. A mere 1 bacon frie more and you'd be sh*tin curry for a month

Knew a lad who'd eat em in threes once he got bet drinking pints. Ten minutes after eating the equivalent of a salt cellar, he'd be lashing pints again.

Like little bags of crack...only more moreish.

No other bacon fry even comes close to Smiths

Oh you haven't lived! The king of the 'pound shops'!! ( just checked and there's at least 13 in dub so you fall into one somewhere )

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.

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.

Bacon fries and a few decent pints of the black stuff, heaven!

Ah, Jesus, are you for real? I sometimes think not by some of your posts. You should really try to come down to earth more often.
