tried all 6 flavours and they all taste the same to me, like burnt crisps.

all except the chip shop chicken curry, they just taste rubbish.

In the States as well as Europe Walkers crisps are called Lays, last time I was there they had around a dozen different flavours, now there are hundreds a bigger selection that we get over here  & that includes Kettles & Pringles.

Paprika Pringles are the be all and end all of crisps. And as for normal crisps, Seabrooks are far superior to Walkers.

I'm very partial to a bag of crisps but I never buy Walkers. Brannigan's roast beef and mustard are the Rolls Royce of potato snack based products, for me. Seabrooks are ok as well but not many places sell them darn sarf.

Totally agree , Brannigans roast beef and mustard are the daddy of crisps.

Honourable mentions for Cheese 'n Onion flavours of  Discos & Square Crisps & Golden Wonder.

Eat my body weight in crisps , but never purchase Walkers , very bland flavours imo.

When Walkers first came out down sarf around 30 years or so ago they had a great taste, somewhere down the line they changed to sunflower oil to cook them & they have never been the same since.

wot happened to walkers beef and onion?
Report treble • August 20, 2014 9:26 PM BST
I'm on board with the Brannigans. lovely crisps, but not as widespread as they once were.

I live 10 minutes from Greenwich and there's a local company called Tavern snacks who make snacks for pubs. Their crisps are the business.

Brannigans aren't widespread , I bulk buy them from a paper shop in Piccadilly Gardens  ,near where I work.

Sam Smith's pubs do their own 50 gram bags of Cheese 'n Onion , as cheap and wonderful as their beer is. Love

brannigans are very nice. id buy em but nowhere sells em.

i do like walkers cheese and onion quite a lot, but the other flavours are pretty naff. not just the flavours, the crisps arent right either somehow.

Friday night strippers, that's going back some LAMBETH WALK. Passing the jug around.

Roysters T Bone Steak are my current Favs Cool best with a quick sandwich
local newsagent sells 6 packs for £1 but they always go fast

Brannigans are nice but always expensive & limit myself to spending too much on crisps

I like the Hand Cooked crisps , salt n vinegar , and recently discovered Black Peppercorn which are surprisingly nice

Only trouble with them is they don't seem to stay fresh for long , bought 2 x 6 packs few weeks ago & every bag tasted off Blush
Report sideshowbob • August 21, 2014 12:53 AM BST
the worst ones ive bought are the new mccoys ones. cant remember the flavour, but the taste is overpowering. i like crisps to taste like crisps, not just the flavour. the new mccoys ones you may aswell just out a spoonful of chilli powder in your mouth.
Report Mc Moonbeam • August 21, 2014 1:00 AM BST
Yep i've tried them a while back , mexican chilli , and Thai chicken etc

too much for me though , i only like the Salt n vinegar Mccoys , but get sick of them after 6 packs , lol
