Bretts are another favourite of ours.

When I come to think of it, Walker's are fairly disappointing these days. Gone are some of the great flavours (Worcestershire Sauce, Beef & onion, Pickled Onion) and others are fairly hard to find. There are so many better alternatives. Piper's Longhorn Beef being one of mine.
Is Worcester Sauce fully gone now? It left the supermarket shelves a long long time ago, but after that you used to be able to pick it up in cornershops for ages. Haven't seen it for a long time now though. Was always my absolute fave.
Yep. Gone a couple of years ago I think.

McCoy's need to bring back their pickled onion flavour... The nicest crisps in the history of crisps...

Have you had Tyrells ruffled pickled onion and cheese, Dinny? They're one of my favourites.

That reminds me - Piper's Pickled Jalapeno & Dill are fantastic as well.

WS is not gone, just hard to get hold of. I just had a pack of these just now. Can get them in a number of places.

No not seen them but the Cheese addition concerns me greatly - I'll have to try a packet.

on the subject of crisps you can't get anymore Salty Dog Salt and Pepper Crisps were a lush sandwich accompaniment

They are definitely gone. There might still be some packs unsold, but they're no longer making them.

Will have to hunt out the Seabrooks ones ta

I assume they still make the French Fries because they are in the Walkers Mix Ups Spicy one (which are actually quite decent).

Cheers Zed - although I must confess, I've never heard of Taylors.

Given that they do a Haggis and Black Pepper flavour, would I be right in thinking they're a Scottish crips ?
