Lays! Are they, like I believe them to be, the same as walkers?

If so, is there a Worcestershire sauce one? I'm contemplating getting a 48 box of Seabrooks (the best crips in the world) sent over from the motherland (Yorkshire)

Help.

I don't think they are and no they don't have a Worcestershire flavor...... Seabrooks are good and that's the kind I'd buy.

It's complicated. Lays are marketed by Frito-Lay which is owned by Pepsi. Walkers is also owned by Pepsi but the products are Lays! So, essentially the same company and the same products but different at the same time. I was in a shop last week that had Walkers, Worcester sauce flavor was among them.

No they are not the same - but probably the best substitute out of what is available. You hardly get any flavours and have def. not seen worcestershire sauce ones. You can get Kettle Chips - my hubby's crisp of choice and can get some decent flavours esp. at World Market.

I'd kill for some salt and vinegar discos, or plain hula hoops or quavers or wotsits or OMG prawn cocktail pringles - I would sell my soul for those right now and it's only 8.50am here

They technically are. Walkers crisps are Lays products. However, there are regional variations so what you buy in the US may not be the same as the UK ones and the flavor selection is entirely regionally based.

As for the shop http://www.gaelicimports.com. Almost everything mentioned in this thread was there, even pickled onion monster munch. It looks like they do online shopping but I have no idea how that works.

They may well be but they still don't taste the same...

I find the oven baked Lays with sea salt..(usually in the organic section of the crisps) taste just like ready salted from back home...because the're not greasy like the Lays classic.. and this is the only flavour I'll eat..

I would be just as happy with a bag of plain crisps with a little blue bag of salt in it

Have you been to The British Isles store in Rice Village Houston yet? He always used to have a large selection of Walkers..
