Best Cheese and Onion crisps?

Eathrin · 22-01-2013 11:53PM #1

There's a lot of options on the market today, Tayto seems to have dominance over the Irish market today but I don't really have much brand loyalty so I don't mind buying a cheaper bag of crisps or paying more on occasion for one that tastes better in my opinion.

How about you guys?

Keogh's > Tayto > King

RossyG · 22-01-2013 11:55PM

Yes, I also buy crisps that taste nice, especially C&O Hula Hoops.

Ma Reilly's.

Like the hundred previous threads on this, Tay-toh

Ihatecuddles-old · 22-01-2013 11:58PM

Walkers.

Walker's Deep Ridged

*gets coat*

King.

I'm partial to the Kettle Sweet Chilli and Sour Cream also.

Not into Smokey Bacon at all.

Wouldn't be mad into Salt & Vinegar but got into the habit of mixing bags of Cheese & Onion with Salt & Vinegar to surprise my palate.

Can't stand cheese and onion. Tayto salt n vinegar or smokey bacon ftw.

FYI, Pringles are muck.

Has to be Tayto for sure!!!

Eathrin · 23-01-2013 12:01AM

Not mad about Walkers but they're often cheap enough so they do.
Tayto and King are about on par.
I had a bag of O'Donnells recently and they were delicious.

I still haven't tried Keogh's yet however so I can't say they are the best just yet.

Not convinced by these, got a few bags when they were half price after the launch, wouldn't be bothered getting them again even when I saw them on special offer at the weekend in Dunnes I think.

Odonnells are the business when you're out having a pint of guinness....

Staplor · 23-01-2013 12:03AM

King Gold Standard - seriously good

RossyG · 23-01-2013 12:06AM

I can't get Taytos here in England. I can't even order them on the website. They'll send them to mainland Europe but not here.

Fixer Upper · 23-01-2013 12:06AM

I find Tayto a tad too greasy. Walkers all the way!

Mint Sauce · 23-01-2013 12:08AM

Tayto - Yes yes yes
King - very close second
Hunky Dorys - \
O'Donnells - never tried
Keogh's - /
Walkers - they're meh
McCoys - dont do cheese and onion, its some fancy name like cheddar cheese and spring onion. Horrible though

Perhaps the Northern Ireland Tayto company have exclusive UK rights?

Yes, I think it's a licencing issue.

Custardpi · 23-01-2013 12:13AM

Can't believe the amount of people not voting for Tayto on this one, would have thought it's pretty much accepted that they're the best C&O there is, no debate needed. Philistines the lot of ye! That said, Hunky Dory Buffalo crisps are fecking lovely too.

ITS_A_BADGER · 23-01-2013 12:14AM

i would have said tayto until recently i tried keoghs, they are fecking lovely !

rainbowdrop · 23-01-2013 12:15AM

Does anybody remember the bags of plain crisps you could get years ago that had a little dark blue sachet of salt in them so you could add your own if you wanted? Yum

EoghanIRL · 23-01-2013 12:15AM

Without a doubt hunky dorys

Eathrin · 23-01-2013 12:16AM

I'm surprised at the amount of people that are voting walkers.
Not that they're disgusting or anything, but I wouldn't consider them particularly tasty in comparison to some Irish crisp brands.

Very true, as if someone starts a row, you can just slash their throats with one of them. Shame their too fcuking hard and sharp to eat though.

Not as bad as Kettle crisps though, the stanley blade of the crisp world.
