Welcome, glad you're here 🙂

(Salt and vinegar are the best crisps)

[-] TeaHands@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Alternate opinion: salt and vinegar are rank.

[-] geo@vlemmy.net 5 points 2 years ago

Hard agree, they're terrible 🤮

[-] TediousParrot@feddit.uk 6 points 2 years ago

I concur, but what type of salt and vinegar?

  • Discos: Not as good as they were when I were a lad.
  • Walkers: Consistently ok.
  • Kettle: Good if you are feeling a bit posh, but the balsamic vinegar can be overwhelming.
  • McCoy's Ridge Cut: Excellent.

The co-op own brand version of kettle are the best flavoured salt and vinegar crisps I have had in a long time as I have found most other brands taste more watered down these days. Don't know if that is changes or my taste buds getting old but they hit the spot!

Agree with co-op salt & vinegar being the best (I do like mccoys too) - don’t really like walkers any more, the crisis are too thin!

[-] blackstrat@lemmy.fwgx.uk 4 points 2 years ago

McCoys salt and vinegar for sure.

But I do enjoy a Walkers Prawn Cocktail too

[-] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I can confirm when you leave the UK, prawn cocktail are the ones you miss the most.

Plus, you can't explain to people because the name itself makes them sound fuckin disgusting

[-] sideone@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

McCoy's are great. I'd usually go for a supermarket brand "finest" standard / kettle crisp.

Fond memories of salt and vinegar Discos giving my mouth chemical burns as a child 😂😭

[-] TediousParrot@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

They aren't Discos unless the corners of your mouth are burning.

[-] Mane25@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

Also agreeing that co-op are the best, but if you find the vinegar in Kettle overwhelming then maybe it's not for you, they are very vinegary.

Crisps are not worth having unless they're salt and vinegar.

[-] KumaLumaJuma@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

M&S own brand salt and vinegar are the closest I have found to my all-time favourites which no longer exist…

(Tom’s foods vinegar & salt from my childhood)

[-] nogooduser@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Discos start hurting if you have too many. They give you tiny cuts and then load up the salt to aggravate them.

McCoys are my favourite.
