Okay, this one isn't a crisp, but sausages.

Trader Joe's Bavarian Breakfast Sausages, they're basically a pork chipolata banger....8 for $3.50 and they're rather nice.

Black pudding I've seen in Wholefoods and somewhere else, can't remember.

Back bacon, not without spending a fortune, though the thick cut stuff from BJ's is actually pretty good...but it's still a rasher :)

There needs to be an all encompassing food thread, made sticky at the top of the trailer park.

They had samples the other day, I rather liked it...the little one had her own sample, took a while to eat it so I took a bite, she shouted so loudly and cried so much, you'd thought I'd punched her in the face :lol:

I've started eating Tom's Bacon Cheddar Fries, the don't taste too bad though I'd swear I had them when I first got here and thought they were terrible so they've either got better or my taste buds are desperate.

So been chowing down on salt and vinegar crisps and the Target own brand are pretty good, nice and tart....though the baked ones they do were a bit meh...their baked ones are generally not to bad, but not the salt and vinegar.

Anyway, who needs to be healthy :D

Order forms to follow shortly:lol:

Well I just learnt that the rules for importing anything which may contain any meat extracts have changed and therefore meat flavored crisps can no longer be imported in to the USA. I found this out from the company I order my Beef and Pickled Onion Monster Munch from!

They have Taytos - fair enough, they're Irish, but they come in bacon and prawn :)

Their catalogue makes interesting reading too. Especially the bit with the sausage rolls, pork pies, sausages, bacon, etc...

Yes we have an account with BWI.. they only deal in wholesale, so you will need proof of a business license. Everything also has to be bought in large amounts.

I sometimes sprinkle a little onion powder on plain crisps-the taste is a little similar to walkers cheese and onion. Not a big crisp eater but miss hula hoop beef flavour!!

Just as long as we can get pickled onion monster munch...the little one loves those as much as me, I've resorted to eating those during her nap times :lol:

Someone mentioned the Target Artichoke and Spinach tortilla chips? Tried them out as they were on sale....rather weird, but pretty good.....really salty though.
