Crisps
 

Okay, pretty random this...

Just tried the Target own brand Archers Farms jobby, the crinkle cut General Tso flavour and they tasted just like Walkers roast chicken...weird, but quite good :D

Oh and the Macaroni and Cheese, almost like the cheese and onion...very weird.

So what other crisps do you like out here?

The Trader Joes salt and vinegar are quite lovely, nice and tangy...but I have found I don't really eat as many crisps these days.

Re: Crisps
 

I've just eaten some 'Kettle Classics' salt and vinegar - very good vinegar flavour.


I found some cheese puffs which taste similar to the Marks and Spencer 'Cheese Tasters' :tounge_smile: they were called something like Teddy Bear.

I don't eat as many crisps now I'm over here, which can only be a good thing as savoury snacks are my downfall.

Re: Crisps
 

I love Archers Farm salt and vinegar kettle chips. AF used to do a curry flavoured baked crisp...but they've discontinued it....twas very good too!
There's also a sweet chili flavoured rice crisp (triangular in shape) but I can't remember who makes them...they're my fave at the moment :)

Re: Crisps
 

I like the dill pickle ones. And Sterzings, but you can only get them in Iowa.

Re: Crisps
 

And the original flavor Pringles.

!!! And omg, if you can get them at Costco, they're a screamin' deal.
I love those things.

Re: Crisps
 

Whole foods 365 salt and vinegar :thumbsup: They taste like walkers salt and vinegar used to before big brother made everything good or you and took the flavor away.

Re: Crisps
 

Good point, Walkers don't taste like they used to.

Re: Crisps
 

These make your tongue tingle plastered in vinegar, yummy, I go there once a week just for the crisps (cant afford anything else!)

Re: Crisps
 

I quite like the Kettle chips too, salt and black pepper are a fave;)

Lately, I have found these dried snap pea snax, some japanese company makes them, they are yummy!

Re: Crisps
 

I'm yet to find an American take on Pickled Onion Monster Munch.

Re: Crisps
 

Hard to believe they put a man on the Moon.

Re: Crisps
 

I know, talk about getting your priorites sorted out:rolleyes:

Re: Crisps
 

Honestly, you two......:p:D

Re: Crisps
 

My current favorites are the Hawaiin Sweet Maui Onion potato chips... also "Bugles" are YUMMY!!!

I would like to say I don't eat as many as I used to - but I'd be lying!! ;)

Re: Crisps
 

I'll agree on the sweet maui onion, but they stick with you for days :lol: Bugles, no way!

Re: Crisps
 

Oh dear.. Bugles are a childhood crave of mine.. I don't even dare buy them now!
Anything that leaves that much grease on the fingers.. but oh, yum!
(Fritos and those crispy cheese stick thingies fall under the same fule. And Doritos, sigh.)

Re: Crisps
 

Our little one likes the Trader Joes, a knock off to the Pirate Bootie...which ain't to bad either...

Re: Crisps
 

Able to get packets of those at the Brit store on our way up to Maine...unfortunately our little one likes them as much as me, so errr...I eat them when she's napping :lol:

Re: Crisps
 

Im addicted to the new schneiders naturals stuff. Its made by the same people that make the pretzels, and its discs or tubes of potato. cant leave the damn things alone!

Re: Crisps
 

Zapps are the best crisps/chips I've ever had. Just slightly better than Kettle Chips.
I'm not a fan of their Cajun Crawtator flavour, but the Tabasco ones are excellent. :thumbup:

Re: Crisps
 

:confused::blink:

Re: Crisps
 

Crunchy Cheetos...speaking of that...they are having a contest between the Crunchy Cheetos and Cheetos "puffs" (childish snicker)...

If they ever offer Cheetos "pickled onion flavor monster munch" they can have my vote...:D

Re: Crisps
 

Zapps Cajun Crawtator = spicy seafood flavour. ;)

Re: Crisps
 

Crisps are bad for you. Give me carrots and celery any day.
:angel_smile:

Re: Crisps
 

That's really handy info, Bob. I'll have to give them a try.

I don't mind the Lays Chile Limon flavour.

Re: Crisps
 

I can get them at the local brit store too. Might nip up at lunch and get a bag and a bottle of Irn Bru

My absolute favorite are Walkers Worcester Sauce, which I haven't been able to get, anyone found anything similar?

Re: Crisps
 

Those Lay's 'Garden Tomato & Basil' aren't a kick in the ar$e off the tomato ketchup ones from back home. :thumbup:

Re: Crisps
 

I think Lays have started doing an actual Heinz Tomato Ketchup one. Somebody has, anyway, 'cos I saw some the other day.

Re: Crisps
 

Chile Limon *anything*. mmmmmm
Kettle makes a nice white corn chip w/chile limon.

And you can always bring me some Hot Nuts; can't get enough of those.


I thought the first part of your reply was to Bill for his heathenish suggestion about some carrot thingie.

Re: Crisps
 

Indeed! :lol:

Re: Crisps
 

:lol: Nah, the only good vegetable crisps are beetroot.

But, why are Beer Nuts not nuts, over here?

Re: Crisps
 

Something I had been wanting to try since we moved here was 'boiled peanuts' they are sold everywhere, even on the side of the road on carts. I bought some last weekend...YUCK!!!! it's like eating fishy tasting slime:frown:

The fried ones are pretty good though;)

Re: Crisps
 

Countdown to a diet thread... 3 - 2 - 1 ...


Back on topic - in the 70s, Hostess came out with fruit-flavored chips (crisps) in Canada. Orange, cherry, and grape. They only lasted a few months on the market due to their unparalleled vileness. There are mentions of them on the web, but I haven't found any pictures.

Re: Crisps
 

Bit controversial this one:unsure: but

Whats with the popcorn out here, its really disgusting, and adding butter to it just makes it worse:(

Re: Crisps
 

But they are! :confused: My dad used to eat those when I was a kidlet.. mmmmm. Peanuts covered in.. who the hell knows (and don't tell me!)

omg, here we go... Go on, enlighten us Cretans.. what could be wrong with the popcorn (which is surely a new world food?).
Maybe it's the water you're drinking with it? :p

Re: Crisps
 

Had the Pringles Tomato Ketchup - not a patch on Walkers Tomato Ketchup I'm afraid - not nearly enough flavour.

Have a thing for popchips - original or salt and vinegar - don't write them off cos they look like flat rice cakes - they are really good and crispy.

Not that I am eating any crisps at the moment - am on the 'OMG a stone and a half in 2 years diet' !!!!!

Re: Crisps
 

I don't eat popcorn...I heard it was healthy;)

Re: Crisps
 

If you have it on its own it tastes like cardboard, and if you add butter it tastes revolting. We have toffee coated in the UK, its yummy. When you buy it in the UK you are given a choice of sweet or salty. The first time I went to the cinema out here the guy looked at me like an alien when I asked form sweet popcorn.

I buy some toffee and nutty stuff from F&E to take to the cinema with me.

Not the kind I have:lol:

Re: Crisps
 

:confused: its the same isn't it. I just ask for no butter!!..... :confused:
