Not enjoying salt & vinegar is just a sign of weakness

UK lemmings be piling in to explain how this is the best flavour in the world...

... Which it is

[-] BakerBagel@midwest.social 21 points 1 month ago

I was always blown away by the wild chip flavors when I traveled to England as a kid. Monster Munch is a flavor unlike anything you can find stateside

[-] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 14 points 1 month ago

Monster Munch is a brand. They do a tangy pickled onion, roast beef, flaming hot, and a handful of others. Pickled Onion are incredible.

[-] executivechimp@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 1 month ago

Yeah but if someone says monster munch and doesn't specify the flavour you know they mean pickled onion.

nah prawn cocktails the best crisp flavour salt & vinegars alright too though I think I prefer pretty much any other flavour apart from bacon artificial bacon flavour is foul

[-] shneancy@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

i'm still salty (and vinegary) over the fact UK is hogging the best crisp flavour which is indeed prawn cocktail. I need to go to the local "imported foods" store to get those and i'm at the mercy of my fellow countrymen to keep buying them so the store keeps restocking

My home state has salt and vinegar chips that are so acidic that eating more than a handful will burn the inside of your mouth and the skin on the edge of your lips will fall off.

So anyway those are my favorite flavor ever and I eat so many every time I have the chance to eat them that I can't taste for a week.

Edit: I hate autocorrect. Always have.

[-] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 11 points 1 month ago

Here in NZ we have the regular salt and vinegar chips, but also the more intense vinegar and salt chips.

I like the stronger ones, but too many makes my mouth feel like it is about to fall out.

[-] TheOakTree@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I suppose the fix is to find a basic drink to neutralize the acid before it burns your mouth?

I can't think of any basic drinks...

EDIT: Apparently, milk, tea, and certain juices are basic/alkaline.

[-] azi@mander.xyz 9 points 1 month ago

Pro tip: After vomiting, have a glass of milk (assuming you can keep it down). It'll neutralize the stomach acid burning your throat

S&V was an unknown flavour in my country. So i was rather sceptical when I tried fries in the UK with that kind of seasoning for the first time.

I am a convert now. Anyone who considers this flavour "freaky" can go and drown in American ketchup (you know that kind with 50% HFCS).

[-] Mr_Blott@feddit.uk 7 points 1 month ago

You tried chips in the UK btw

I'm both of those things, so that checks out.

If you’re not gasping for air after inhaling on a freshly opened bag then they are not worthy

[-] Tarquinn2049@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago

Hmm... in Canada that is one of the basic best selling flavours... you basically have to offer salt and vinegar if you sell chips. Is it really that uncommon in the states. I mean I heard it's hard to get ketchup flavour down there, but I wouldn't have suspected salt and vinegar as being rare.

[-] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Nah salt and vinegar chips are also very popular in the US. But I'm not personally a fan, so I agree with the meme.

As for ketchup flavored chips. I did not know that was a thing, you may be right about that.

[-] Tarquinn2049@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Yeah, ketchup is basically salt and vinegar but with sugar and "tomato" powder. So it's ultimately a bit milder than salt and vinegar.

While they may co-occur, I think my enjoyment of Salt & Vinegar chips is independent of my freakiness and perversion

Not gonna lie I'll happily take being a freak if it means I've got an excuse to inhale salt and vinegar crisps until my eyes are watering from the flavour

[-] Rozauhtuno@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 month ago

Hello, am freak.

[-] azi@mander.xyz 11 points 1 month ago

True, I’m a freak and a pervert and the sort of person who has considered buying salt and vinegar powder because she loves the chips so much

[-] Atrichum@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

I started to angrily disagree but on reflection it's true, at least in my case.

What would Dill Pickle flavor be? It's just salt & vinegar chips with added dill flavor. But it's still better.

I had it once.

It's disgusting. But I have to say... It grows on you.

I ate the whole bag including the crumbs.
