Ready salted crisps

pockets3d · 11-07-2011 10:14PM #1

I was reading that buffalo flavor crisps thread and got me thinking.
What is the point of those ready salted crisps? All other types are 'ready' so what makes them so special. Nobody likes the plain salt ones anyway.

But i had an epiphany, your supposed to pour your own vinegar on them.
So you get soggy salt and vinegar crisps.
Is this news to anyone else or did everyone know this?Have i spent years of my life eating horrible crisps just to get rid of them from variety packs?

Some folks (inc' me) don't like vinegar on their crisps sometimes.
Some might be allergic to vinegar?
Its just an alternative taste, try getting over it?
One persons meat is another's poison.

Ready Salted Crisps are horrible and have no place in the multi pack.

Ready salted crisps are a great crisp,especially for breakfast

I like ready salted crisps.

When I was a kid, I was all about the crazy flavours. Now, I appreciate the subtlety of a good piece of potato, crammed with preservatives, shaped into a hoop, and lightly salted.

Although, I tend to put extra salt on my ready salted crisps. You can't get too much of a good thing!!

Mmmmmmmmm...

I beg to disagree. Ready Salted make the best crisp sandwiches.

I imagine Hitler liking them.

When I was wee I remember buying crisps where you added the salt in afterwards.

It was an interesting way to get fat.

They're not that bad. I prefer Cheese & Onion flavour but, like Salt & Vinegar, I don't mind eating them from the multi-pack.

Ready salted crisps and a plain dairy milk mixed together. Yumage!

Agricola · 11-07-2011 10:34PM

You only eat them when all the others are gone.

I must proclaim my love for Ready Salted

sollar · 11-07-2011 10:36PM

I prefer ready salted to the rest of the packs in a multi pack.

Ready salted crisps are just too English for the Irish palette to accept.

It wasn't cyanide pills he gave to the dogs in the bunker it was ready salted crisps.

Was leaving the office earlier with a mate when we noticed someone in the department had bought a big Walkers multipack. He had his choice of prawn cocktail, cheese and onion, salt and vinegar and ready salted. He went straight for the tasteless red bag of ready salted. I was aghast.

Salt and vinegar crisps are rotten. Cheese and onion or Hunky Dorys sour cream and onion ftw.

For some reason they go well with cumberland sausages...well...tastes are different

Too true but alas i am here to the rescue , a dousing of that brown malt vinegar to make em nice and soggy like a fine Irish kipper supper is the way forward.

They are just salted and fried crud.

Cheese and Onion are far superior. The English don't know what they're missing with their default flavour.

B_Fanatic · 11-07-2011 10:51PM

Haha, this is the first time I've read an AH thread and thought who gives a ****!

Kind of surprising, really.

Krusader · 11-07-2011 10:53PM

horrible things altogether

Daniel S · 11-07-2011 10:54PM

Ready Salted are my favourite, then salt and vinegar, then buffalo, then, if there is nothing else left to eat except cheese and onion... I'll starve. :pac:

Ready Salted crisps are yummy

Not as yummy as Salt and Vinegar

But yummy nonetheless

I'm running the risk of a ban from AH for two straight posts in one day, but anyway...

Donkeys years ago, crisps came just plain in the packet, with a separate sachet of salt included that you added according to taste. Then, Walkers, I believe, were the first company to package crisps with the salt already on them, hence "ready salted".

Shake & salt crisps were never really a "thing" in Ireland, hence nobody here really likes ready salted.

ready salted are ****é!

Biggins, I agree with, and respect, your political opinions for the most part, but you really suck when it comes to crisps.

You can't beat Cheese and Onion (for basic potato crisps. Corn snacks are a different story).

I remember them. They sucked back then too.
