Ready salted crisps

Everyone is getting really off topic
The main point is if you don't like ready salted pour your own vinegar on them.
Honestly try it , the result is soggy walker goodness.

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 like ready salted for good reason.
Some stronger crisps react badly with my stomach - too sharp or acidity - and I end up sucking Rennie.

I like cheese and onion occasionally but due to the above, am limited in that respect.

I have tried good ready salted and I've sampled bad ready salted - some are indeed dire - but once in a while there is a company product that you might find you like.

Ready Salted Crisps are fantastic, especially when you have a big pot of garlic dip to go with them.

Even on their own they can be lovely if they are of a decent quality - thick cut potato and a nice oil. Added to that, for me nothing tastes nicer than lovely salt!

I like ready salted dipped in salsa

Dunno if they still sell em, but McCoy's sold a Rock Salt flavour, same thing as Ready Salted but by god were they yummy. Came in a red packaging, not seen any for years though.

Ya all nuts! :pac:

Have tasted them and found them a bit bland, make ya more thirsty than any other crips I've eaten, if anything I found them designed for a UK audience where lunchtime beers are popular, make the punter more thirsty and get more beers down ye.

Those crisps would go down a treat with publicans here I reckon, although it would mean the dole barflies here would burn through their pay a day early.

I don't care what people say, ready salted isn't a real flavour

Corsendonk · 12-07-2011 12:05AM

Worst flavour out there, english product catering for the english market.

The Brits love them - then again the Brits have no clue what is and what isn't tasty

I recently found a new rather weird taste fad, try some of these ready salted walkers on a slice of buttered white bread, then spread some Ketchup over them and its nom nom nom

I miss Seabrook Sea Salted from Tesco. The Irish branches no longer sell it. Very 'naked' salt taste, none of that Walker mush..

A big fan of European style oil cooked crisps, again, just salt. No artificial flavours need apply..

I just ran 2km to get a pack of ready salted based on this thread and they had none! God damnit. KP Chips will have to do.

geetar · 12-07-2011 12:27AM

OP, The reason why they are called "Ready" salted is because...

crisps used to come in packets flavourless, with packets of salt thrown in for adding flavour after you open them. then they started adding the salt to the crisps pre-packaged and hence, being already salted, the term "ready" salted was used. :cool:

there you go, never be able to tell that useless piece of information in context again. :rolleyes:

EDIT: didnt see someone else had shared my wisdom. oopsie-daisey

This is the most retarded comment i have ever read.

Surely what is and what isnt tasty is a purely subjective point of view?

Biggins · 12-07-2011 12:31AM

People eat salted nuts, salted crisps are just a variation.
Some are good, some are bad. Each to their own.

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

that and worchester sauce flavour:eek: what type of goon thought that was a good idea......smokey bacon all the way

Greentopia · 12-07-2011 12:32AM

Cheese and Onion are yer only man. Such a foul and ignoble act to defile the noble fried spud with salt and vinegar.

Greentopia · 12-07-2011 12:46AM

Always wondered why a friend of mine who has otherwise good taste in food favoured salt and vinegar crisps over cheese and onion; thank's to this thread I now know why-he's English.
Damn him coming over here bringing his foreign crisp eating ways with him :mad:

Did you know the Queen is the only person allowed to have swan on her dinner table as they are deemed to be sovereign property going back to medieval times?

Bet Liz is stuffing her face right now with ready salted swan! :mad: it's not right I tell ya! :pac:
