I'm off down to Benidorm next week. Are Twiglets available anywhere?

Strange the things some folk cannot live without when on holiday but yes, most 'English' shops stock Twiglets so you should be able to get a 'fix' without too much difficulty.

Not sufficiently familiar with Benidorm to point you to any of those but I'm sure others will be.

I've not seen Twiglets in the supermarkets here in Benidorm but I would think Iceland store would have them,.......maybe 🙄

Thinking about it, I haven't seen them anywhere for years (Ireland and Spain) and even thought they might have been discontinued. Had to look it up and apparently they changed the recipe and still available, maybe it's a revival thing like the Banshee Bones (back by popular demand).

I live in Santander. They're not sold here so I'm hoping to take advantage of the British shops whilst there.

Do they sell them in Alicante and if so where? The train from Santander goes to Alicante so I can get some one the way back.

Thanks, I'll have a look.

Casa Santo Estevo

Amazon sells them too

Whenever I've been in in the UK I've been able to get some. Fewer and fewer places sell them nowadays but they're in a local shop and in Waitrose.

"Banshee Bones".....

Never heard of those Moses, what are they?

:-) They are a very strong salt & vinegar crisp with ugly packaging but I do eat them now and then. Used to be Perri and now Tayto.
Actually reminds me of another crisp I hardly see, KP Roysters. They seem to be in certain stores but not that popular anymore, loved them

Thread title should be a TV series!

Thanks Steve. Yes Iceland do sell them and many other British products. I bought a packet thinking I'd spread them over two or three days but ate them all in one sitting

For those visiting Benidorm with the same idea, the Iceland is opposite Benidorm Palace. It's quite expensive (e.g. 3€ for a £1 bag) but certainly worth it.
