    Luckily I found some nice crisps, I think these are supposed to be BBQ flavour judging by the picture, in the UK there used to be some bacon flavour crisps that were the same shape as these, those were damn good, and these are very similar to them.

    Indeed.

    Walkers are the largest crisp manufactured in the UK and are made in Leicestershire. Sadly, they're now owned by PepsiCo so they're probably not as good as they used to be like most other products bought by corporate America.

    Have you ever made on of those sandwiches in Thailand? It's hard to find pickles here.

    Potato Chip History - Invention of Potato Chips


    The following from wikipedia...
    " First introduced outside the Andes region four centuries ago, today potatoes have become an integral part of much of the world's cuisine and are the world's fourth-largest food crop, following rice, wheat, and maize Long-term storage of potatoes requires specialised care in cold warehouses and such warehouses are among the oldest and largest storage facilities for perishable goods in the world. Wild potato species occur throughout the Americas , from the United States to Uruguay. Today over 99% of all cultivated potatoes worldwide are descendants of a subspecies indigenous to south-central Chile.



    It's not impossible that potato chips/crisps were invented in England but certainly they went from Spain to France to England. So there's a good chance that French Fries were in fact invented by the French and the term 'chips' is just a load of rubbish, too.



    Potato Chip Flatbread Pizza created by someone in Montreal. In a hundred years, the Brits will be going to war over this one too!

    Thai crisp dipping sauce

    I don't know how to describe the flavour of these crisps, anyway they have a very strong nasty taste to them, I only bought them because the picture shows some dipping sauce and a lump of cheese, no idea what the cheese is supposed to signify, so I opened the bag and rummaged around in it to get the sauce, couldn't find it so poured the crisps out onto a plate, nope no sauce, got half a bag left ready to go in the dustbin unless anybody wants them.

    I think Sir Walter Raleigh went directly back to England from his trips to the New World. I doubt he would've been welcome in Spain.

    In English (you know, meaning 'from England') they're called chips. Whatever they're called in any other dialect is of little interest to a native English (as in from England) speaker.

    They're ok but Walkers and Golden Wonder from the UK are better.

    Smith was a Brit BTW.

    Thai BBQ Crisps

    Tasto do several flavours, all of them pretty awful, these BBQ flavour ones were pretty awful, not sure what the cowboys and Texas written on the packet has to do with Thailand, anyway only one thing I could do with these, cover them in salsa to get rid of the flavour.

    The Lays (possibly) have a picture of wheat on their 'Original' flavoured crisps. Not sure wtf that's all about? Monkeys in the art dept maybe?

    Lays in Thailand remind me alot of Pringles. These so called 'crisps' always are so starchy! When you eat them the taste and texture is what I always imagined a box of instant mashed potatoes would taste like, simply formed into a potato chip shape. So much starch it is almost gritty on the roof of your mouth, like eating a fine sand.

    At least when you get something like shrimp chips you know you are buying straight floured starch or cornmeal, nobody trying to pass it off as something else.

    These sound a bit crazy but were actually nice. Don't know if you can call them crisps though.



    Chocolate flavored crisps with chocolate inside. Not bad but I was starving.
