Crisps

[McSwede]

Did anyone used to have these:



Not sure if they were still around but I thought they were great as a kid.

Yes, their prawn cocktails were the best

Yes, you can still get them here.

Yorkshire crisps. Nowt better!!

As quoted before PC are awesome

Walkers aside which are pretty mild, I find salt and vinegar is a bit sharp in isolation. Great with the bitterness of a beer however... ready salted also best with beer. I recall ready salted squares go well with beers, also onion rings.

While we're on the subject of budget crisps, chipsticks and pickled onion space raiders are also decent.

I love almost all crisps (except fish flavoured ones). Weirdly, my absolute favourites are Salt ‘n’ Shake minus the salt.

I had a really good bag of chips recently.

Normally its a disappointing experience, but every now and then they surprise you.

My favourite is probably a nice strong, basic salt and vinegar.

Unfortunately I've noticed a lot of crisps seem to be toning the strength down a lot, probably in an effort to reduce our salt intake.

Salt and vinegar pringles are probably my favourite, they make your mouth sting if you eat too many on one sitting

For other flavours I usually prefer meaty or spicey. Not a huge cheesy fan, and definitely not fishy. I really like Tescos own version of frazzles, I think they actually taste better than the real ones.

I find most premium crisps pretty dissapointing for some reason.

Salt and vinegar Pringles are ok, but BBQ Pringles FTMFW!

They pop up a lot in Wales, particularly the PC

This raises a pertinent question - What do northerners call crisps?

Flatty tatty slices?

Tea

Cheeky cunt! It's dinner.

Tea is taken mid afternoon with nice dainty sandwiches and maybe some cake. Deffo no crisps!

[NotoriousREV]

Dinner is at lunchtime and tea is at dinnertime. It’s not hard.

Mother would faint if the staff rang the dinner bell and shouted "tea's ready". You're living in a crazy mixed up world

Ah, but did you know that dinner originally meant breakfast? It’s been sliding later in the day since the 12th century.

Lunch is also a word from northern England that originally meant a hunk of bread or cheese.

[McSwede]

Every day's a school day. At least it's correct now. Breakfast - Lunch - Dinner.

Monday to Friday - Breakfast, Lunch, Tea

Unless you went out for the evening meal - then you "went out for dinner" not "went out for tea"

Saturday and Sunday - Breakfast, Dinner, Supper

On account of the evening food, following a roast dinner, would typically be later and smaller than Tea so was Supper. (we never ate a meal big enough for a name after Tea so there was never supper Monday to Friday.

It all makes perfect sense until you write it down at which point, it all begins to sound a bit, well, Irish.

Funny enough the OED has

"Dinner" as "The main meal of the day, taken either around midday or in the evening."

and

"Tea" as "A light afternoon meal consisting typically of tea to drink, sandwiches, and cakes." or "A cooked evening meal"

Bloody fence sitting academics...

You know dictionaries document how words are actually used as well as how they should be used, right?

[dinny_g]

yes

[Swervin_Mervin]

Seabrook's you can get in Sainsbury's. Fairly widely AIUI

And Dinny is 71% correct. It's Breakfast, Lunch then Tea but 7 days a week

[ZedLeg]

Just say scran for every meal, saves on all this arguing.
