    I do like the odd Tayto Cheese and Onion sandwich on white bread laced with butter from time to time.

    Best cheese and onion are probably Tayto or walkers
    Best Thai sweet chilli are walkers, no doubt
    Best salt and vinegar, and I’ve done extensive research into this, is O’Donnells
    Best tub crisp is surprisingly Aldi’s version of Pringles. My fave being plain ol ready Salted

    Oriental flavour.

    I always see them advertised on the cardboard that the Scampi Fries come on but I've never actually seen them in any shop/pub.

    The fancy salt and vinegar taytos are the dream.
    I also like velvet crunch when I'm trying to be skinny (lol).

    These bad boys are canadian and are AMAZING:

    Many say this particular species of Smiths pub treats are actually extinct. They're often photographed in the wild along side scampi fries and bacon fries but i've never had them. They're the snow leopard of savoury snacks.

    Somebody asked about Sam Spudz crisps earlier in the thread. Largo foods bought them out in 1996 and phased out the brand in favour of their own Hunky Dorys brand and the crinkle cut smokey bacon crisp was no more.

    Walkers (same company) do them in the UK. My daughter is mad about them. Not sold in Ireland for some reason. Very tasty.

    You just couldn't get a more off putting imagine on the front of a bag of crisps if you tried. Dear god.

    Cheezels in the blue packet that looked like Chickatees.

    I have tried many "cheese" snacks none come close and most are mank.

    The best crisps I ever had were king luxury, or king pub crisps, circa 1990 in a pub.

    The flavour was explosive matched with ice cold coke in a glass.

    The packet was navy, it's a memory I have anyway.

    Possible that it was so good is because 10yo me must have been starving while my dad was watching one of the italia 90 world cup matches and forgot I existed for several hours.

    Anyone remember Farmer Browns?

    Use to hang around with this fella and wind his older sister up saying she fancied this local fella, Tom Brown (his surname was brown.) She worked in a kiosk and we'd go up and ask for loads of sweets and at the end point towards the Farmer Brown crisps behind the counter and say 'and eh just a packet of those Tommy Browns there aswell please' and she'd lean down to get them, realise half way, jump back up and tell is to ****off :pac:

    If I could only choose one and never eat the others ever again, I'd choose King. They're my standard go to crisp.

    Crisps: Tayto or King cheese and onion. O'Donnell's Hickory or Ballymaloe relish. All of the above work great alongside a crusty sandwich roll!
    Keoghs or O'Donnell's (better) salt and vinegar. Kettle do nice crisps as well. Can't have salt and vinegar with a sandwich...just doesn't work!
    Corn Snacks: Chipsticks or monster/mighty munch or Johnny onion rings or rancheros. Snax get a look in too but slightly too dry. Definitely agree with the comment that the mini chips have become bland, bland, bland.
    Anyone remember Burger bites?
    None of the above corn snacks work with a sandwich. They can only be paired with a fizzy drink or a chewy bar of some description.
    I know me crisps and corn snacks!!

    King Pub crisps were a step above alright. Good soakage.

    I love crisps. Rancheros are amazing, but I have a few wierd combinations I like too.

    Tayto/king cheese and onion doused in vinegar.
    Chipsticks dipped in Nutella.

    There is an Indian brand of snacks that would powerhouse the insides out of you as well but I can never find them in Ireland. They are savage.
