Biggest issue I have had with crisps that "might" be similar to Brannigan's is the thickness of the crisps and the texture. I would love to know if anyone has found an alternative. The Tesco finest have the taste but not the texture. Man I miss Brannigan's.

Just picked up a bag of those yesterday but not opened them yet for a munch test.

Update:

These Tesco finest roast beef and horseradish are good crisps, nice crunch to them, decent thickness of the ridge cut and tasty, dangerous in fact, easy to demolish a bag in a single sesh but I resisted.
Great value at £1.35p for a 150gm bag or was it £1.25p ? They put more expensive named brand crisps to shame, deffo gonna try more of this range.
 
How come there isn't a Instant Crisp Machine kitchen gadget? Yeah yeah, air fryer. and spray oil But what I would want is a machine I can literally throw a large unpeeled potato, put in a packet of flavouring somewhere, and have crisps spat out the other end. Alright, alright, I would peel it manually first if that is a deal breaker, but I just want instant crisps dammit.

Is opening a packet not instant enough for you?

A proper magic crisp machine would need to slice up the potato and then flavour and fry it. So it would probably be quite big. There might be a more viable option using some sort of pre-processed powdered/liquid potato substance. You press a button and the machine pumps out a cheese and onion flavoured blob which is squashed flat and cooked between some hot metal plates and pops out the end as a crisp type product.

Kickstarter?

My life expectancy would be significantly reduced if that was a thing.

Whatever machine they use to make Pringles I would settle for a kitchen size one of them. They are surely made from a powder you could bulk buy in Aldi for 2 quid a kilo. But a proper tatty to warm crisp machine would be the gold standard.

Just seen a bag of Pipers Longhorn Beef crisps turn up in the weekly shop, good for a comparison with Tesco's finest roast beef and horseradish.

Update:

These Pipers beef crisps are OK but my view is that the Tesco's Finest roast beef and horseradish are better by quite a way including value for money, taste and crunch.
No comparison really, Tesco's Finest are a damned good crisp and at a great price, discounted on Club Card at the moment, superb value for top class crisps.
