Kettle crisps

[chrismpw]

Not related to Kettle crisps sorry, but here’s what I don’t get about the cheese and onion thing.......

Walkers make French Fries, and they make Square Shaped crisps both in Cheese and Onion flavour. My issue is the C & O French Fries are in a blue bag, and the C & O Squares are in a green bag?

What’s that all about?

Its madness- that's what it's about.

A guilty pleasure from the snack van at work away from the prying eyes of Mrs Yarrgh.

Love a good packet of scampi fries or pork scratchings. I'm not sure if my cholesterol love them though!

As an old mate used to say, “ if it smells like Scampi Fries down there, you don’t want to be sticking anything in other than a finger “

Evil they are, evil.

A singer I really like is [Poor language removed] (Richard ffs) Gaughan. He's a Scots folk singer with a voice that is an acquired taste and most of his songs are about dour incidents in history and how the wealthy mistreat the poor. In response to comments about his miserable repertoire and lack of pop style love songs, he wrote a brilliant song called "a different kind of love song" in which he shows that his songs about the miserable human condition are to raise awareness of how people can be in the hope that it will lead to improvement and how every miserable song shows love and empathy for his fellow man.

This is me. I complain about things to provide an impetus for improvement. It's a kind of love. So are you calling love 'miserable'?

Mr Gaughan....brilliant...wonder if he likes crisps?

Beat me to the punch there mate!
Mind you..,Bacon Fries were very good. Better than Frazzles which were drier.

Not ate them much but always thought they were alright

It must be an age thing as I also have the scraped roof of mouth terrors from eating kettle crisps.

'
Back in the 60s I had a 'Saturday morning job' at a crisp factory.
No fancy flavours then, in fact they weren't even 'ready salted'.
They came with a little twist of blue grease proof paper containing about 1/4 teaspoon of salt. You either added it yourself or you had them without, that was your choice.

Used to live on Farm Close - 5 minutes walk from the Clock Face Crisps factory. They were very good as far as I recall...I was a kid though so all crisps were pretty great. I think they had a smiley face clock logo and had moved onto actually being flavoured and stuff when I was a kid though.

Bag of Clock Face crisps, 10p mix from the little corner shop on the corner of Field Rd (I think?) all washed down with a glass of Bartons pop. Unless the pop was gone then it'd have to be a glass of Corpy Pop instead.

Salt n vinegar Discos. Sometimes you get a really strong bag that melts your mouth.

I forgot about Discos.... I don't tend to buy them so much now. Another brand that now has a weaker flavour...

That said, I don't waste anything in a crisp packet. I love getting down to the bottom corner of the pack, and scraping out every last grain of crisp, salt and flavour that remains. The gravity method also works... tilting your head back and pouring the remnants straight down your threat.

Still, I prefer the corner scraping, finger method...and Discos are perfect for this. Your fingers get coated with so much flavour! There is so much taste left to savour, that after the initial scoop... it's still worth licking your finger a few more times

Also great.
