I prefer my bacon unsmoked for what it’s worth. Moving slightly off topic, why don’t you see Smoky Bacon Crisps for sale anymore? Maybe they are and I’ve just not seen them. My particular favourite,pickled onion crisps are very hard to track down but worth the effort (particularly Walkers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am amazed to see Golden Wonder now and again and remember when they were more prevalent than Walkers. I still think cheese and onion tastes better out of a green pack than a blue one and vice versa with the salt and vinegar. 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quilp Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 (edited) Back in the day all crisps came with that little blue, waxy sachet of salt which sat in one of the corner's in the bottom of the bag. You'd have to scoff a few crisps to get to it, and smash some to bits trying to retrieve it. Oh for the simpler days of yore, when politically-correct prudes were a thing of the future and honest men knew where they stood- outside the ladies changing-rooms and not within; where the expression, "bodies with vaginas" (see this month's Lancet for reference) would have brought exclamations of puzzle and wonderment on discovery.

And pork scratching had a totally different meaning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the stinking enigma Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Ready salted chipsticks were my all time fave. They don't make them anymore, which is fair enough but why do they keep rubbing it in by making salt and vinegatlr ones still? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc.fixit Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I'm with Quilp on the old fashioned crisps although in Spain the ones they cook on the side of the road in big, sizzling cauldroms are probably just a little better.
