PorcupineOfDoom Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 After a hearty debate earlier on today about which flavour of Walkers is best (prawn cocktail, obviously), I'm curious to see what everyone's favourite is. The flavours might not entirely translate to other countries, but I've tried to include the most popular ones. Link to post Share on other sites
A User Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 edit: oh wait i get it now- it's this thing- since the logo resembles Lays, i'mma say that my favorite flavours are original salted and ketchup (idk if they have it where you are but in canada we have ketchup flavour n it doesn't taste too bad tbh) 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Ceebs Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Roast Chicken or these: And if I may be so bold as to mention some non-Walkers crisps... Taytos. Cheese & Onion flavour. The Northern Irish Taytos, not the ones from the Republic. Those are good too, but I prefer the ones from NI. Confusingly, they're not the same company. This is me about five years ago with a Christmas gift I received. 😂 (Had to steal the photo from Facebook, lol.) 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Still Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I like the ketchup flavor, but stores here don't usually have it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Libellule Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Paprika, with Barbecue and Smoky Bacon coming pretty close. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Elsin Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I like the Worcestershire sauce ones, but I'm not really fussy. I would choose McCoy's over Walkers though, and amongst those is tough between the spicy ones or the steak ones. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
daveb Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I feel like we don't get so many good flavors here. Seems like it's mostly plain, barbecue, sour cream & onion, and maybe something cheesy or spicy. My current chip-like snack has a salt and vinegar flavor I like and a barbecue one that is also pretty good. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Libellule Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 We also got this flavour of Lays crisps in Germany and it's not too bad: 5 Link to post Share on other sites
everywhere and nowhere Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I like ordinary salted ones. Salt and pepper are not bad either, although I haven't tried them from that specific brand. Tomato ketchup is fine too. Other flavours? I don't like very spicy ones. Cheese and onion won't go because I hate onions. Salt and vinegar - similarly, I have a very strong olfactory aversion to vinegar. This ingredient is not allowed at my home, neither for culinary nor cleaning use, because it immediately induces a gag reflex in me. Anything which contains meat is a no-no. And as for prawn cocktail specifically... I have always found seafood and lakefood repulsive, so I never tried them, and now I don't eat any kind of meat anyway. But given the fame of crustaceans as a strong allergen, I'm even more glad that I have never eaten any seafood... As for other brands... while I prefer plain salted crisps, it's not like I don't enjoy any more sophisticated flavours. But I admit that I'm picky. Some other flavours of crisps from several pan-Europan, Polish, German, Czech, Slovak and Ukrainian brands which I have liked include: dill, herbal salt, cheese without onions, pizza, garlic bread, tomato, mushroom tart, chanterelles... But crisps are expensive. And while I'm not a person to care very much about the health aspect of food - because I have no chance of being fully healthy anyway, my allergy is incurable and my knee joints are damaged beyond repair - I may also tell myself as a form of consolation, that salty sticks, while being cheaper (and allowing somewhat longer consumption of a serving I consider right ), are also a little less unhealthy than crisps. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
iff Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I detest walkers crisps, why do they put the cheese & onion crisps in blue jackets, blue is the packet for salt & vinegar for any other brands on sale here, so they are just out to try to trick poor consumers with the confusing colour 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Still Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I once had salmon flavored Lay's in Russia. It really did taste like salmon, although it mainly made me wonder why they existed in the first place. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Purple Red Panda Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 The best crisps I have ever had are these You used to be abe to get them in M&S but they don't seem to stock them anymore.

Anomaly Q3Xr Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Prawn cocktail are by far the best. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TormentDubz Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I'd say sour cream & onion/cheddar (stateside) but sweet southern heat is pretty good too https://www.lays.com/product-category/lays 2 Link to post Share on other sites
