Renton 21606 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 The only place I've seen them sold here is B&M bargains. They're okay, probably equivalent to Golden Wonder and definitely better than the ubiquitous Walkers. My favourite crisps are Brannigans, but seem to be disappearing. The best crisp of all time though has to be Tudor pickled onion. Spring onion was great too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Haven't seen a spring onion crisp in a while. I like a cheese and onion disco, bit of a bamps crisp though so would only eat them in the house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tudor Pickled Onion wasn’t so much a crisp as a rite of passage for your mouth. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21606 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 There was a brief period, about 3 years before they disappeared, I had a Macro card and bought them by the box (the ones in shops) for a fiver at the one in Washington. Doubt we'll ever see such halcyon days again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 42411 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 @Renton, Brannigans Beef and Mustard were fucking nuclear when they first came out- cleared the sinus in one crisp. Have they toned them down? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I love tipping crisps into a pot noodle to make a crunchy throw-in. I'll be amazed if @Rentondoesn't do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they toned them down? I don't think so, they fair scour the taste buds. I like them but prefer the ham and cheese and also the lamb and mint, the latter of which are canny unique. Brannigans are great for two reasons. The potato texture and quality is second to none. But somehow they have two tone flavours. You taste the beef, and its just bog standard beef. But then you get hit by the blast of mustard a second later. Masterful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crunch them up and eat before they go soggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21915 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 (edited) Haven’t eaten a pot noodle since desperately poor student days. Back to the crisp chat, brannigans were indeed a superior class of crisp. Shame they’re so hard to find these days. To the surprise of no one, I’m partial to the middle class twat crisp of choice - Tirrells. Particularly enjoying their new cheese and pickle ridged effort. And their cheese and chive are lush.

Dr Gloom 21915 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 As for bamp crisps, salt and vinegar squares are good for a hangover, washed down with a full fat coke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's getting increasingly hard to get. I was at Las Iguanas last night and got a Cuba Libre, which they now make with coke zero. Absolutely rank, completely ruined the taste. I get moving to coke zero in fast food restaurants where people drink it by the bucket load, but in cocktails? Fuck off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
