    Ah sure
    I just take one salt and vinegar crisp, and one cheese and onion crisp, and I eat them both at the same time!
    +1

    Or open up a packet of Cheese & Onion and sprinkle some Worcester sauce on them...

    Tasty.

    Sam Spudz crinkled smokey bacon with Cavan Cola, Wham bar, Refreshers sweets, Rowntree Macintosh Smarties and my toy Coca Cola truck with Shakin' Stevens singing 'This Old House' in the background. :)

    In King Cheese and Onion vs. Tayto Cheese and Onion; King every time.

    In terms of nicest crisps going at the minute: try Pringles Extreme Fiery Wasabi flavour!!! F'ing gorgeous!!!:D

    If anybody is a serious crisp head, you can call into the Perri/Hunky Dory/Tayto/King/Sam Spudz factory in Kilbrew near Ratoath and buy your crisps directly - e.g. 60 packs for €20 cash, which is a 33% increase in the price it was 6 months ago (€15). Still way cheaper than buying it in any shop.

    Hunky Dorys are better than both, I'd prefer King to Tayto though

    Remember Smith's crisps with the little salt sachets. At the time, it felt like there was something luxurious about salting your own crisps. Smith's also make Bacon Fries and Scampi Fries, both a pub necessity.

    Wouldn't mind that now, most salt and vinegar crisps I get these days have **** all flavour in them, apart form a bit at the end. Back in the day they'd burn your mouth off :D

    King Crisps. The staple of the Irish pub owner. Cant remember at how many lock-ins me mother n father kept me stuffed with them in order to stave off the boredom. :D

    I love them to this day.

    I have it on good autority (grandmother worked at Tayto for 20 years) that they are the same crisps in different bags.

    a package of king crips is a part of a northsiders heritage. Tayto lost the taste war ages ago

    I always preferred King when i was younger,

    Then i could have sworn they must have changed the receipe!

    I like Tayto too, but prefer old king,

    but in saying that the consistency isn't great among packets of either.

    This thread caused me to go out and buy crisps. That's how fickle I am.

    I haven't had a bag of King crisps in years...as a child my granny from Cavan used to bring us these, I was never that keen on them, there were always burnt edges on them.
    Fresh Tayto c&o crisps when you're starving are just delicious... Love them added to tomato sandwiches just before you pop them in your mouth before they go soggy...or with toasted chicken sandwiches...or with ham, cheese and tomato sandwiches or with a bar of chocolate, someone mentioned Twirl...a good choice. How the feck is that, that chocolate goes so well with crisps?

    Nordie Tayto just taste like any old brand...like Walkers or Kings or whatever...Southern Tayto have a unique quality no other crisp brand has.
    If there was a challenge where you'd to identify the brands of cheese and onion crisps from a loads of different bowls, guaranteed Tayto would be the one everyone would recognise.

    Tayto has a book out.

    Meh!

    King pub crisps beats a book hands down.

    /they taste much nicer when bought in a pub.

    Why is that?

    Even if you just pop in to buy them because you like the taste, and no drink involved.

    Pub crisps are far nicer.
