What are the best & the worst crisps?

The_Dark_Lord

What are your favourite crisps and what are the ones you think are overrated or just plain awful? The most delicious crisps right now are Burts Vintage Cheddar and Spring Onion flavour, they leave Tayto Cheese & Onion in the shade. An honourable mention for Golden Wonder Sausage and Tomato flavour crisps - they're delicious.

The worst crisps I've ever tasted were Keogh's Truffle flavour crisps, awful flavour.

up for anything

Tayto Cheese and Onion are the very best but O'Donnells Cheese and Onion along with Aldi own brand Cheese and Onion are a close second.

Golden Wonder anything along with Walkers anything are rank and bottom pile.

Grueller Baby

Bikers, waffles and the Tesco brand Onion Rings (big pack only) in a three way tie for GOAT

Walkers are the ultimate poverty crisp.

Pringles are sh1t. They are like the chicken nuggets of the crisp world. It's like they create some kind of potato slurry and then fashion oval slices out of it and cock the crisps that way. The texture is revolting. At least all the crisps mentioned in the thread, good or not so good, are genuine slices of potato.

Anyway I'd kill right now for 2 packs of Tayto cheese and onion and a can of ice cold Club Orange to wash them down.

Lidl's hand cooked crisps, lightly salted.

As close to crisp perfection as possible. :pac:

Worst? Pringles is down there in my book - dusty and the flavors are sub-par.

Keoghs crinkle cut range or Hunky Dory Buffalo

I'm partial to a bag of hunky dory's or O'Donnels.

O'Donnels have the advantage of being gluten free, my daughter is coeliac and a surprising number of crisps contain wheat!

Yeah but Pringles and Doritos are still much nicer than Tayto or King crisps

The best flavour Pringles were the Extra Texas BBQ Pringles, because they were evil and would burn the mouth off you. They had to be from the Extra range, though. The texture of the actual crisps was still rotten.

Short memories in here, this was literally resolved last year in the Ultimate Crisp Tournament;

Could never get into eating doritos (or any tortilla chip) by themselves. Lovely with dips and what not, but find them far to dry to eat them like a bag of regular crisps.

Ah, a bit like all alcohol is good to an alcoholic, all crisps are good. Some better than others, but I really can't say I've encountered a "bad" crisp.

Best though - Pringles are up there, along with Doritos, especially the Chili heatwave or flaming hot cheese.

God tier: Meanies (any of you potato only crisps purists can shove a barbed nettle up yer hole)

Worst: Perri crisps any flavor . I don't see them around anymore but they were the blandest stuff ever. Back in the day a multipack of them were always accompanied by a 3L bottle of country spring. Poverty snacks

Perri made up for it with their cheese popcorn though, sadly discontinued

O'donnell the ones with the ballymaloue relish. Oh my god just tell my taste buds to commit Hari kari cause it just won't ever be topped.

And doritos hot spicy

Meanies too

I am so so sorry.

AMKC

Seabrooks for the win Honestly if ye people have not tried them you should. The only reason they are not in every shop in the country is because they are far superior to all other crisps and no one should buy anything else after trying them.

Yep, 78g of that 200g tub is lard.

SineadSpears

Love too many crisps to have a favourite, but the worst is anything sour cream & onion flavoured.
Or cheesy popcorn.
Both are like smelly football team sock flavoured crisps

The two old reliables Tayto and King Cheese and Onion are the go to option a lot of the time. The only two to put in a crisp sandwich for me.

I do like Bacon Fries, Manhattan Cheese and Onion and Frisps Cheese and Onion. Disco's C&O and Prawn Cocktail are good stuff, also.

Some of those Cheese Puff's are tasty little buggers, too.

Golden Wonder and Sam Spudz smokey bacon were top notch back in the day.

How people eat salt and vinegar crisps i don't understand as they are possibly the worst flavour i've ever tasted. Rotten to the core.

Overall though crisps are a fantastic treat. I ike them a little too much.

Same thing happened to Tayto Cheese & Onion. In the last few years they've completely changed the recipe. Where the Tayto C&O of 10 years ago were more full bodied and extremely moreish, the crisps that exist now are brittle and not so savoury. The flavouring is also completely different. Tayto C&O and King C&O are the same crisps, only in different packaging.

I'm pretty sure I read the old boss of largo salt that the difference between tayto and king is that the ratio of cheese.to onion flavour is reversed in king relative to tayto.

rogieop

Gimme a pack or space invaders above all else any day of the week.

Nik naks a close second.

gmisk

Thai sweet chilli...walkers are good, m and s or o Donnell's all yum.

I don't like those really synthetic puffed up corn snacks like burger bites etc at all

French Toast

Best: O'Donnells Cheese and Onion, Hunky Dory Buffalo.

Worst: Original Hoola Hoops. A cult classic, but they're awful.

You cannot beat an auld Pringle - I’m awful parshalled to the sour cream and onion

Whenever I am going up to Dublin on the train I like nothing better than a tube of sour cream and onion

You might like them but I have to tell you: THEY ARE NOT CRISPS!! They are some kind of American reconstituted potato-based snack.

As far as "the best" is concerned, I'm surprised that people are proposing so many options. By far the best crisp is O'Donnells cheese and onion. Delicious and addictive. When they are on special offer for €2 (big pack), fill your trolley!!
