Gotta be Cheese and Onion Squares for me... I flirt with others occasionally but always end up back with them.

I'll give a little mention to Spicy Monster Munch, Tangy Doritos, and Original Pringles. But C&O SQUARES are the winner.

Crisps are overrated anyway... you get a massive bag that's 70% air and 30% crisp dust.

I love crisps...all crisps, but like wine, I think there should be a crisp for each occasion.

Nik nacs, monster munch, bacon frazzles, sensations, tortilla chips....just off the shop...

Not as good as they used to be. I remember when they where MONSTER munch but now they are these little pieces of pickled onion flavoured crud.

Do you want to hear a nice crisp story? In primary school my mate picked his scab off and put it in someone's crisp packet.

You got there before I did. No one outside of Ireland can really appreciate how good these crisps are. Tayto Cheese and Onion are the greatest crisps ever.

Keep Crisps Tayto

Northern Tayto - Best for crisp sandwiches
Southern Tayto - Best on their own

I never tried a crisp sandwich. I'll put that on my To-Do list for today.

Incidently - what is the best flavour if one were trying a crisp sandwich for the first time?

Cheese and Onion with REAL butter and loads of it

EDIT: A tip is to nip the bag let the air out then crush the crisps in the bag, then open the bag and sprinkle them on the buttered bread and they stick great.

Also try McCoys flame grilled steak as well, but don't crush them.

Don't like butter. I was thinking about Tayto Smokey Bacon.

Well you can use margarine, you can try any flavors, but the two above are the ones i always come back to.

Keep Crisps Tayto

They're available on the mainland as 'Champion' - we get them in the packed dinners we get for range days. Even have the same blurb on the back about being baked in a castle in County wherever (can't remember now).

An O'Hara's bap, hollowed out, filled with a bag of scrunched up Tayto Cheese 'n Onion.

Northern Ireland's gift to the culinary world.

Sad to say, O'Hara's bakery is long gone, so you have to make do with pale imitations now.....

Yeah it's in Tandragee, there is an actual castle there too, super or what.

You can order boxes of crisps from it.

think yerself lucky, here in spain there's hardly any flavours, unsalted, salted and if yer lucky jamon (that just tastes like a really shitty smoky bacon)

Corkboy · « **Reply #36 on:** August 4, 2006, 01:03:06 pm »

Voni,

There is no point in having a crisp sandwich if you don't follow the basics.

1. White sliced pan only, MUST be fresh.
2. Cheese and onion only. If you use a different flavour you WILL be disappointed.
3. King crisps or, failing that, Tayto.
4. Real butter, 2-4 degrees below room temperature.

If you deviate from these guidelines, neither I nor RAWK will be liable for the consequences...

We've been over this before. It's Tayto Cheese and Onion. Anyone who says it's not, has never eaten Tayto Cheese and Onion.

Though I DID have a bag of Walkers sensations Vintage Cheddar & Red Onion Chutney recently, and they were fucking lovely.

Yeah but after a while all these exotic crisp begin to lose their appeal, they are sort of that 'Dangerous stranger' who is a bit loud and a bit of craic to start with, then you get fucking tired of them and just want the norm back.
