Let's Talk Crisps!

Another cruel casualty of the "healthification generation". I absolutely agree that they're nowhere near the deliciousness of yore. That said, I still have only managed to re-find the T-Bone steak; the chicken ones were my favourite... perhaps I shouldn't tempt myself by trying to find them only to crush my nostalgic love.

Indeed, the pack boasts of '30% less saturated fat but the same great taste'. While the former may be true, the latter is sadly, even tragically given their former glory, not.

I've just eaten a bag of the Southern fried chicken flavour (which stilll seems to be available in a mixed multipack from Morrisons) and the same applies. Hints of the former great come through but the general experience is of a pretty standard chicken crisp. The texture is the most significant loss for me - I'm sure they used to have a real bite to them and could shred your mouth like a good baguette ready for the savage intensity of the flavouring to bring you to your knees. But now it's just like a thicker powdery Walkers.

Pitiful stuff.

More nostalgia now, anyone else miss the old Philieas Fogg crisps? Specifically the Morceaux and the Tortilla Chips when the packaging looked like this:




So good with guacamole

Pom bear(They're like no other crisp)
Smokey bacon
Prawn cocktail

smiths cheese moments


smiths scampi fries


and thats when i died of foodgasm

Where can I find these gems???
