vinegar crisps

Salt and vinegar crisps? The only flavour I'd buy.

Delicious. I see them more and more in Warsaw.

Flavoured crisps...invented in Ireland.

Some places invented the jet engine others gave us spray cheese, some introduced high heels and the fork to society at large but Ireland gave us mankinds greatest achievement Tayto cheese and onion. The only problem is you have two Tato cheese and onion companies...tbc

Have you omitted whiskey by design?

whiskey

You got me. Whiskey is Irelands gift to the world. Though the first mention of distillation in a historical text attributes it to someone called Mary the Jew. It's possible but unlikely that the said Mary was Jesus's Mom which would tie in nicely with the emerald isle.

You learn something new every day.

Like Ironside, I'm no fan of crisps but would buy salt and vinegar. Cheese and onion, or cream cheese and chives, no thanks.
Pringles (p,sin or salt and vinegar) are good and when in Africa I quote like the chilli and lemon ones they have there.

Cheese and onion in a buttered bap is quite the thing.

@Barney
I'd try it with an open mind.

I do like both cheese and onion but not so much as a crisp flavour.

Near me is a company called Seabrooks. As crisps go, theirs are decent.

The worst I ever ate were chocolate flavour. I was running some language tests at the factory in Poland who were thinking I'd making them.

I'm not much of a crisps fan but cheese and onion are the only flavour I like. Don't think I could eat them in a bap though. I know quite a few people that enjoy crisp sandwiches. I find it a bit weird.

You've separated the peanuts on the right from their skins on the left?

Apropos of nothing... one food I miss in Europe is boiled peanuts, a street food/snack in the US South

The Cajun boiled peanuts sound really nice. Didn't know that different flavourings can be added to the water or that boiling them was a long process. We don't have anything like that here, at least that I've seen, just bags of salted KP nuts or the raw nuts in their shells.

There's also boiled crawfish... (be sure to suck the head!)

I've seen them prepared in much bigger quantities than this picture...
