Barry’s Gloves nettle flavour are the greatest crisp ever invented. End of thread.

Don't shoot me, but I like the multi pack Walkers cheese and onion crisps, something about them that is very fresh and fairly cheap too usually on sale for 1.50.

Will always be a Tayto man though.

Golden Wonder cheese & onion ...

Yum yum yum...

King too.

Honey roast ham crinkle cut from m and s. live too far away from a local store to go get some.

Walkers Sensations Thai Sweet Chilli, or Keogh's Red Pepper and Sweet Chilli if I'm feeling patriotic.

Love paprika crisps. Very continental. Hard to find here. Just like dill flavoured ones, a bit salty, a bit herby.

Got some manchego and chilli crisps from Marks today. Delish!

Anyone remember pizza flavoured Cheetos?

I do like the odd Tayto Cheese and Onion sandwich on white bread laced with butter from time to time.

I love a crisp and tomato sandwich ! People think I'm weird when I say that, but honestly, don't judge me until you've tried it. A bit of mayo is a nice addition. (Obviously it has to be eaten immediately on preparation and not left to let the tomato make the crisps soggy)

I get you. Nothing like a tomato sandwich with added salt and a packet of Hunky Dory cheese and onion. But I take the crisps on the side. Bite of sandwich and scoop of crisps.

Cornflakes. You can argue that they are crisps. You can’t beat a good bowl of fresh crispy cornflakes with cold milk. And you can have this tasty snack for breakfast, lunch or dinner, or even as a snack in between.

mojesius · 26-05-2020 10:08pm

O donnells cheese and onion/ballymaloe relish are great. Love an Aul bag of meanies on a long road trip, seems you can only get mega meanies now, which I don't really mind

I think we are spoilt for choice in Ireland with great crisps. Most other countries only have 90 versions of 'ready salted' in shops. They're so bland, I don't bother with crisps when I'm away. UK is alright I suppose but walker's etc. are also an inferior crisp to tayto, king, keoghs, o donnells.

Pringles have gone a bit downhill recently. I used to love sour cream and onion but they're lacking in flavour nowadays.

I love mini chips, salt and vinegar. So hard to find them these day but I know one shop selling them.

Lidl have a “version” of them. Not bad.

Strumms · 27-05-2020 1:11am

I’m going to first add to the anti Doritos Q... taste is bland and the texture is absolutely crap, nothing pleasant to eating them...

Haven’t had burger bites in a while, they’d be yummy, again the packs are ever fûcking shrinking though.

Quantum Erasure · 27-05-2020 4:47am

Perry Thai Rings, or Hot Lips...

Sgt Hartman · 27-05-2020 7:16am

O'Donnell's Cheese and Onion crisps are great

Also from my childhoods I remember Crunch-Os which were hot dog flavoured corn snacks, they were lovely.

Burger Bytes were another favourite of mine from the 90's, I'd ate a bag of them now if I had them

O’Donnells Hickory BBQ

Gorgeous with a sandwich, but of a kick to them.

Hamsterchops · 30-05-2020 12:41am

Has somebody mentioned Pringles?

Sour Cream & Chive, oh the joy

appledrop · 31-05-2020 10:32pm

Well I'm on the Rancheros this weekend. Oh the joy so tasty! The only problem is one bag is not enough!

Quantum Erasure · 31-05-2020 10:45pm

Buffalo Hunky Dory's

I just had a bag there now. There was a girl stocking up the crisps near the checkout and I just picked them up.
Tasty is NOT the word!

Was it Rancheros that used to have the little flavour sachet in the bag years ago btw?

mistersifter · 05-06-2020 12:05am

In fairness to us Paddies, we do a bloody good crisp.

Tayto invented the first ever flavoured crisps..Definitely our most important contribution to world progress.

Our newer brands like Keoghs and ODonnells and Tayto's Bistro range are the business too.

For me the best were the King Leo Burdocks salt n vinegar flavour. That needs to be brought back immediately.

Have to hand it to the brits, too, the Walkers Max Strong spicy yolks are top notch (which is weird cos normal Walkers are utter sh*te)

There was one of those ‘sachet’ in the salt and vinegar discos. Guaranteed tears...in a good way

digzy · 05-06-2020 12:14am

Sam spudz used do a crinkle cut cheese/onion flavour around 20 years ago. The ultimate crisp!

Their smokey bacon crisps were the best by far, Tayto was muck in comparison

Banana Republic. · 05-06-2020 7:48am

Smiths Bacon Fries, The King of Crisps. Monster Munch aren’t far behind especially the ones with the extra spice crumbs on them

Pringles are not crisps. They are biscuits.

Super value stocking Discos again

Man Vs ManUre · 08-06-2020 10:59am

Anyone know if any place in Dublin is selling Barry’s Gloves nettle flavour?? They are probably still in the shops in Monaghan but can’t get up there due to the restrictions.

Top chief · 08-06-2020 11:10am

I have 3 O'Donnells cheddar cheese.Also Tayto smokey bacon and Meanies

It was Barry’s jabs that were nettle flavoured. Because you know, they stung. I’m trying to remember which variety were the hedgehog ones

fussyonion · 08-06-2020 11:14am

Just had a bag of Lidl's version of Mighty Munch Flamin Hot. Fair oul kick off them. Quite tasty.

valoren · 08-06-2020 11:20am

Keoghs Irish Cheddar and Red Onion Crinkle Cut.

Lidl used to have these savage sour cream and cheese crinkle ones but I have’t seen them in ages.

Undercover · 10-06-2020 10:02pm

Bag o' Chips were great.

Strumms · 10-06-2020 11:13pm

Anyone remember mini chips ? Think KP used to do them, used to come in about 3 flavors I think... you are talking late 80’s to mid 90’s I think...

ShaneU · 10-06-2020 11:25pm

Gone but not forgotten, they were unreal

O'Donnells cheese & onion the best around today. Salt & Vinegar Discos a close second but haven't seen them in a while.

Junkyard Tom · 10-06-2020 11:42pm

Crinkle cut crisps have a larger surface area allowing more flavouring to adhere to it. Hunky Dorys Buffalo flavour are tasty effers.

Still being made. Not as good as they used to be.

I think Aldi or Lidl have their own version as well. About a €1 for a fairly hefty bag of them. Haven't tried them, but worth a go probably.

Strumms · 11-06-2020 1:21am

Supermarket run later today, be a snack attack.

Matmania · 11-06-2020 8:23pm

Burton Fish n Chips. Come in salt and vinegar, curry sauce and pickled onion. My sister gave me a few packs a while back. Can't get them anywhere. Anyone seen them around.

Homelander · 13-06-2020 8:38am

My local Applegreen sell them anyway, never tried them actually.
