Are buffalo crisps made with actual buffalo?

Downlinz · 10-07-2011 08:43PM #1

I used to think this was just a name given to a bbq wild west type of flavour but after talking to a friend of mine who was reminiscing about his childhood he mentioned buffalo in a field near where he grew up, said the property belonged to Perri Crisps.

So I made the obvious connection. Any insight?

Seriously?

SadieSue · 10-07-2011 08:48PM

I'm pretty sure its the buffalo wing sauce flavour they use :pac:

Nah buffalo don't taste like buffalo in crisps. You have to use horses instead.

efb · 10-07-2011 08:48PM

Yes. 4 per packet.

They don't use the meat. They just wring the juices out of them like a towel to flavour the crisps!

CardBordWindow · 10-07-2011 08:49PM

Eh.....read the ingredients!

Yeah they use buffalo in buffalo favored hunky dorys. You can see the buffalo in fenced off fields near Perri.

But what if you want something that tastes like horse?

What about Perri Rape crisps? Are they made with actual rape? How do they get the rape into the crisps? Did I dream about rape crisps?

phasers · 10-07-2011 08:53PM

They just use a bunch of cats taped together OP

Funnily enough the man behind manufacturing buffalo hunky dorys in Ireland actually keeps buffalo. Think its the only herd in the country.

charlemont · 10-07-2011 08:54PM

Damn right they do, Sure they almost wiped out the whole species once the cowboys realised how tasty the crisps were...:rolleyes:

Redlion · 10-07-2011 08:54PM

Yeah, they sure are!

Biggins · 10-07-2011 08:55PM

Can't believe someone actually asked that!

Reggy · 10-07-2011 08:56PM

This is 100% true. There is a field full of Buffalo right beside the Perri factory in Ashbourne. No joke. I dont think that they are actually sacrificed for the sake of the crisps though

:D

There are indeed a herd of Bison(around 20) in Ashbourne, and have been for 15 years or so - owned by Largo Foods who own various snack brands (Tayto, Perri, Hunky Dorys, King)

You can see them in Tayto Park these days. Video here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PydC1okBvJ8

Unlikely that any of the animals find their way into the crisps though.

They get a squeegee and wipe the sweat of the buffalo to give the crisps their flavour

In fairness to the OP my Sister actually asked me this before. She still thinks they're made of actual buffalo.

JONJO THE MISER · 10-07-2011 09:03PM

I made a complaint to the manager in McDonalds today, because there was no ham in my hamburger

Was Bob Marley singing about the plight of cows being sent in to fight wars for the Americans?

Are buffalo crisps made with actual buffalo?
