Crisps

I didn't know what crisps are and then I did a google search, so that's what you English call potato chips?

I guess I"m a Pringles man then when it comes to brands.

Crisps are important, but Kettle crisps are really way below par. Not a patch on English crisps. I find Pringles to be really limited too. I can eat them, but they are not like English crisps. This might be one of the only patriotic things I say in my lifetime, but English crisps are truly great. They are, such a lot of varieties, and also such a great range in taste. The best of crisps.

I quite like Kettle crisps, Sea salt and Balsamic Vineger.

If I could only ever have one type of crisp it would be T Bone Steak Roysters. The daddy of all crisps.

Quavers the main crisp for me

Walkers salt and vinegar a close second....

I know we're biased but I think British crisps (chips) are far superior to any other crisps around the world. My personal favourites are Pickled Onion Monster Munch, Spicy Tomatoe Snaps and Salt & Vinegar Walkers - I like Prawn Cocktail too. Apparently Walkers crisps sell 6 million bags in the UK every single day, that's insane

Whenever in Europe or America I always try their crisps but they don't compare to ours. I also feel the same about chocolate, well Cadbury's anyway. Cadbury's factory is 10 miles from my home and I genuinely beileve they make the best damn chocolate in the world.

Love 10p crisps. Space Raiders, Quarterbacks, puffs. Got through 20 packs of Puffs in one hit when I was a lad, now thats something to be proud of.

Cadbury's chocolate is excellent. Twice a year I import food from the UK and I am currently awaiting on all sorts of stuff, but in particular am looking forward to my fruit and nut bars and also Galaxy which is nice.

In the supermarkets they have that horrid Hershey's stuff. It tastes nothing like chocolate. Utter rubbish compared to what we have.

And this is not just a 'miles is attacking America again thread'. I think British crisps are heads and shoulders above all crisps I have eaten around the world. In fact, the Korean crisps are worse than the American ones. They are tasteless and you basically have a choice between onion, salted or squid. The last are most horrid thing you could ever come across. Utterly foul.
