I like a nice scampi 'n lemon Nik Nak myself, but that's another story (i'm also partial to a cheesey puff too). My local crisp maker's current flavour list is here:
They were never as good as the glory days of the 80's when God's own crisps were fried in beef lard rather than nancy boy sunflower oil
I realise that readers not of the UK or a of a certain vintage may believe I'm some sort of pervert (which of course I am) so here you go by way of an explanation:
This chat is reminding me of all the fabulous sandwiches you can also buy in M&S or Boots. Brie with grapes, cottage cheese & celery, BLTs the size of doorstops . . . Sorry but Subway just doesn't cut it sometimes. Will have to start making my own, altho I'm not sure I can handle slicing grapes in half .
chilaili - OMG!!! My husband listened to me go on about M&S Sandwiches for years, he was totally mystified why I thought they were so much better than what I can get here.... And then I took him. We love to grab sandwiches and crisps and biscuits as we rush to the train and then have a picnic on board. I've tried to replicate them, but I'm starting to think that they put something in the bread that's addictive.
Me: Smoked Salmon with soft cheese... and Wensleydale with Carrot Chutney
DH: all the wraps. Prawn Cocktail from Walkers.
I wonder if its just nostalgia, because I think Walkers and Golden whatever they are called crips are nothing compared to the variety I can pick up at M&S or Waitross these days.
Much ado about nothing.
