As we know, they went out of production many years ago - but I'm glad to say that Jacob's Salt & Vinegar 'Oddities' are as near as dammit the same thing - if not better.
They're even fish shaped a la Burton's!
They're on offer at the moment in Tesco at two bags of 5 packets for £2:

Yes. About half a pound of salt left in the bottom of the bag iirc.

Good stuff, Shanelee.
If you fancy revisiting 'old ground' try the Jacobs S&V Oddities. |

Did they used to be in Blue & White bags Tommy?
|
|
By:
No, Shanelee. They were in a white bag with loads of black writing on it - to replicate 'fish and chips in a newspaper'.

Yes, I saw some months ago that Burton's had reintroduced their Fish 'n' Chip biscuits again.
I bought a bag of 5 packets from Tesco when they had them on offer recently for a pound. I was really looking forward to them - but was a tad disappointed when I tasted them. I now think the Jacobs Salt and Vinegar Oddities seem much nicer than the Burton's biscuits - as they seem to be a crisper, nicer biscuit and more vinegary in flavour. |

asda do them £1.59 for 5 packs
im sure at school they where cheaper than norm crisps. anyway, still taste good  |

I tried the oddities, 2nd rate compared to the burtons fish and chips.

Yes, maleuk01, Burton's Fish 'n' Chip biscuits used to be one of the cheapest snacks on the market. It looks like the call for them to be reintroduced has made for a golden opportunity for the manufacturers to hike the price to daft levels.
Perhaps I had a dud multipack of the Burtons but I really thought they weren't anywhere near as nice as the Oddities - but there again, I do like a really strong vinegar flavour, which the Oddities have. |
