    I hate the taste of Walkers Crisps they would be at the very bottom of mylist right next to Doritos & Pringles.

    I love King Crisps the taste reminds me of a different brand that that you cant get anymore called Jackets where they left the skin on the potato when making the crisp. Used to get em in the 90's

    I know King do a Jacket version in a green bag but never seen them in Ireland.
    (And see some pics on some english crisps that indicates Walkers took over smiths?? to my horror)

    Anyone remember Smiths Salt n Shake and variants where they gave you a flavoring in a sachet and you
    added as much or as little as you liked.

    Hard to get but if cheese and onion is your flavour of choice then try Perris Pub Crisps, nicest pack of c+o i have tried in ages!

    I remember them, but only from holidays in England and Wales. They were pretty much the only crisps you could get on British Rail trains.

    Those King Burdocks salt and vinegar crisps in the golden bag are savage.

    Has to be tattooed cheese and onion for a crisp sandwich though, loads of butter and really nice white bread. Maybe a slice of ham too.

    50% crisps, 50% MSG

    (maybe not entirely accurate proportions, but who's counting?)

    Tayto cheese and onion for sandwich.

    McCoy's steak flavor for best overall crisp.


    Tayto gets my vote, although just as a crisp. I've never actually had a crisp sandwich, I don't really like sliced pan bread.

    The McCoys meaty multipack are all lovely, steak, bacon sizzler and chicken. Yummy.

    can you class bacon and scampi fries as crisps? If so they're the Bee's Knees!

    Tayto bought out king years ago, they're now made by largo foods. The definitely changed the flavour of king. They made tayto much more tasty. King are muck these days.

    Other way around, Largo Foods who made King and Hunky Dorys bought out Tayto about 7 years ago.

    Sort of (and they are delicious), but you couldn't put them in a sammich like - jury is out on the crisp definition for that reason

    (also why Pringles and Dorritos aren't on the list - none of yer fancy stuff!)
