salt and vinegar lovers

disco's used to be great, until some muppet got the idea that the flavour should be toned down :/

yea i remember eating the stuff left at the bottom and nearly choking they were awesome still nice but not what they were

Burts Salt & Vinegar crisps are really nice and strong too...but they are quite expensive and also not sold everywhere.

waitrose sells em

Golden Wonder Salt & Vinegar from the 1980's, AKA: Slug Killers.

I don't care what you have to say.

Yeah, that doesn't surprise me, also the main Tesco in Reading that I use has them, just I don't go there much and they were expensive when I was there last.

 

[steve-h]

yeah... mccoys used to be the muts nuts, quite poor these days

probably due to them taking all the stuff out that isnt brilliant for you, salt etc...

 

[Maxeh]

Burts are pretty intense. Agreed on the Disco's though, they used to be soo good

Seabrooks crisps have always been awesome. You've been missing out

 

[singist]

Ah! someone else who has discovered the magic of Seabrooks; especially the Salt and Vinegar.

Yeah
same with the old pickled onion ones, they also went dull :/

 

[nydryl]

Squares are the most salty and vinegary in most shops.

+1

Kettle chips are great too. Must investigate these seabrooks.

 

[Pestilence]

Seabrooks seem to be very well regarded in the crisp world, but I've never tried them myself.

One thing I've wondered, actually....since leaving Northern Ireland I haven't seen Spring Onion flavoured crisps ANYWHERE. Do you English even have them, or is this another case of decent Pasties not being available over here?

 

[semi-pro waster]

Somerfield Finest Sea Salt and Balsamic Vinegar handcooked crisps are actually amongst the best I've tasted, the flavour isn't as intense as Discos or even Squares used to be but very well balanced.

Kettle Chips Salt and Vinegar are normally good but can be very variable in the flavour quality.

 

[p4radox]

im but of a lover of the old salt and vinegar crisp
on sunday i discovered the most intense salt and vinegar crisps EVER
SEABROOKS, my god, eat a pack of them then inhale, you loose your breath and start coughing. they are awesome

if you know of any other uber sharp salt and vinegars please post them here as i must try them out

Seabrook are really amazing crisps, in all flavours. Don't really see them very often though.

And not at all cheap these days; I only buy them when there's an offer of some kind going. But I agree, they're the best I've had in recent years.

I'm a big fan of the salt & vinegar peanuts as well... they sound weird, but taste wonderful... especially the bits at the end of the bag. Eating that stuff probably knocks weeks off your life and pushes your blood pressure up to the Moon, but what a way to go!

Say what?

I've never had a problem finding a good pasty, go to a bakery and buy a nice freshly baked hot one.

I need some Salt & Vinegar crisps, I only have cheese flavour ones.

 

[zootfloot]

Seabrook crisps "were" awesome until they decided to change them about 3years ago.

The flavours have all become very salty now, especially the cheese and onion variety.

That said, seabrooks do knock the spots off most crisps, with the exception of Brannigans.

MMMM BRANNIGANS

 

[platypus]

I've never had Seabrooks, I honestly don't think they're sold in Cambridge.

Disco's used to knock your socks off if I recall.
