They're at it again, and they've foolishly sent some to Charlie Brooker since he did his own experiment last year:

I have to say, I am curious about the American cheeseburger ones :)

In my head, the Irish stew ones are horrendous :oops:

Is there any difference between Argentinian flame-grilled steak and their normal steak crisps?
I doubt it.

Glancing at the ingredients reveals no pork, although they do contain the downright sinister "poultry extract". What exactly is "poultry extract"? And how is it "extracted"? Walkers must tell us. Preferably in the form of a televised re-enactment starring Gary Lineker.

:lol:

We've only just started getting "English" flavours - salt & vinegar and cheese and onion over here...

I've got a friend in Noway. Every time he comes over he takes back several multi-packs of Walkers Salt & Vinegar.

If anyone asked, I'd have guessed they were pretty much universal in Europe :o

Paprika are the most common, every manufacturer makes them. Then Ungarish (Hungarian), which are spicy paprika, then Peperoni, which are paprika and chilli. Salted is starting to make inroads, most companies now provide a version. The peanut flips (peanut flavoured Wotsit like snacks) and Pombear, bear shaped potato snacks.

Chio make salt and vinegar and FunnyChip started doing cheese and onion a few years back.

We get "specials", like Shakalaka, Western BBQ, Curry Kethcup, Wasabi etc. but other English flavours, like prawn cocktail, smokey bacon etc. haven't made it over to the mainland.

I've always found that they taste very similar to Smoky Bacon crisps.

Nik Naks ‘Scampi 'n' Lemon’ where the best crisps ever invented, originally came out in the 80’s, the best crisps to suck-on and the resulting smelly fingers was convincing enough to your mates that you may have reached third base with GF…… :lol: :oops: :lol:

Pombear, bear shaped potato snacks.


My sis eats those, they're a big seller in Tesco over here :)

The best crisps ever (and I want them brought back, damnit) were Smokey Bacon Monster Munch :D
