    I haven’t seen Brannigans for years! I used to love the Roast Beef an Mustard. I seem to recall that they did Cumberland Sausage flavour too.

    After a teeny bit of thought I realise why I haven’t seen them. It’s because I don’t go into newsagents anymore, I gave up smoking about 18yrs ago and don’t buy newspapers. They don’t sell them in my local supermarket.

    So where do you buy your crisps then?

    nipped into Heron for some cat food and they were staring at me, £1 for 5 bags! so were Roysters and scampi fries but the Brannigans won the day.

    I was a disciple of Salt & Vinegar squares but these are even better
    I defy anyone to be able to eat them without their face contorting with the vinegar.
    The Holy Grail for me.
    Honourable mentions for beef and pickled onion monster munch before they changed them years ago-I think it was the European Court that did us in with that one.

    I just to make Skips in my school summer hoilidays at the KP factory. I've not touched them in 27 years. Hula hoops straight out the oven though are epic.

    Brannigans crisps, not too thick and not too thin, I only ever seem them in Poundland nowadays (packs of 5) but the quality doesn't seem the same as when I first had them in the 90's.

    Love this flavour but it doesn't beat Smiths Bovril crisps, all my mates at secondary school (in the 80's) put them in their rolls and sandwiches.

    Crisps
    Lamb and mint sauce McCoys - only had them once, they were mind bogglingly good but never seen them again.
    Smiths square Salt 'n' vinegar - sharp, crispy and greasy, just what you want.
    Kettle used to do a 4 cheese or cheese friends or something - they were rather good too.


    Crisp like snack food
    Pork Scratchings - food of the gods
    Scampi Fries - fantastic things but have unfortunate odor connotations.
    Scampi and Lemon nick-naks - not as good as they used to be but still palatable - similar odor issues as above.
    frazzles / bacon fries / etc. - I'll eat 'em.
    Japanese cracker mix - get in my belly.

    These are mighty fine crisps.

    Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".

    I find most fancy, artisanal crisps way over flavoured.

    1960s - Smiths or Golden Wonder tomato ketchup crisps. Loved them. Whatever happened to them? Dodgy flavourings and colourings?

    Prawn cocktail flavoured crisps don't seem to be very popular but they are up there with me. Pickled onion monster munch too.

    Worcester sauce flavour twiglets and spicy tomato wheat crunchies - sadly missed!

    you cant beat aldi chilli lentil curls - great crunch but prawn cocktail walkers still the greatest.

    Old El Paso cheese tortilla strips are pretty good.
