Osbaldwick Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 These crisps are now inedible. Presumably the recipe has changed as they are now branded as seriously strong, but they taste sour and mouldy and yes the packet was in date and I have attempted a few different batches only to throw them away. I’ll have to move to prawn cocktail and nobody needs that. Feck Lineker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EtoileSportiveDeDerby Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Some say they need to be kept refrigerated, I seem to recall. Mostyn6, Andrew3000, RadioactiveWaste and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaaLocks Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 The pack I had were so strong the side of my face went numb. Apparently they call it the vinegar strokes. Rev, Steve How Hard?, Boycie and 4 others 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osbaldwick Posted May 9, 2023 Author Share Posted May 9, 2023 Pipers are alright, I’ll try m and s thanks. The walkers baked are an abomination, taste like the flavour has been painted onto card board, I wonder if these new fangled ‘crisps’, they aren’t crispy, have changed the manufacturing process for their normal crisps. Might start crisp rebellion and lock on to Alan Shearer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee SCREAMER !! Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 The chicken ones are a lot stronger now as well and what happened to Beef and Onion. Replaced with Steak flavour no doubt. An epidemic like Salted Caramel. Dirty shithouses. Ramslad1992, Blondest Goat, Rev and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stive Pesley Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Have you tried keeping them in the fridge? Andrew3000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osbaldwick Posted May 10, 2023 Author Share Posted May 10, 2023 I didn’t know this was a thing, but @EtoileSportiveDeDerby mentioned it too. Thanks both. Will try it. Does this mean they go off if not refrigerated? How bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bwash_Ram Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Cheese and onion the only way to go, though you do now have to add a bit of salt as they pretty much removed all of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I remember when crisps WERE crisps. favourites of mine were Walkers S&V french fries and Seabrooks prawn cocktail where you could see the millions of real salt crystals coating every last crisp. Good old days. Ooh, that reminds me.....must take my blood pressure meds. Stive Pesley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I love vinegar. I mean *really* love it. Haven't bothered with Walkers for years, but I feel I may have to return to them having read this thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, crisps were crisps when they had a little blue bag of salt in them that you had to add yourself, Smiths crisps, then Golden Wonder came along with their ready salted, absolute game changer. angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Did anyone else try and make S&V crisps by adding vinegar to Ready Salted?. It always seemed a good idea at the time but the result was never very good. Mostyn6, Stive Pesley and Mucker1884 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 many Vending machines have drinks, chocolate and crisps in, and are chilled/refrigerated. People eat cold crisps without realising. Stive Pesley, ThePrisoner and Osbaldwick 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
