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.
^ Frazzles mmmmmm

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.Originally Posted by PaulBunyon
Have you ever made on of those sandwiches in Thailand? It's hard to find pickles here.Originally Posted by Marmite the Dog
Walkers are the largest crisp manufactured in the UK and are made in Leechcestershire. I used to like to put them in my pickle, peanut butter and mustard sandwiches. Sadly, they're now owned by PepsiCo so I guess I won't be eating any of those CPPM sandwiches anymore.
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!

The Canadians can keep that crap.
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.

"Our famous fries are made from only the best quality potatoes, such as Russet Burbank, Shepody and Pentland Dell. The vast majority of these are grown here in the UK."
I bought those for the same reason. Cheating bastards.Originally Posted by dirtydog

Smiths in Australia are my favourite Potato Chip bar none.
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.Originally Posted by PaulBunyon
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.Originally Posted by PaulBunyon
They're ok but Walkers and Golden Wonder from the UK are better.Originally Posted by Loy Toy
Smith was a Brit BTW.
Manora Fried Pumpkin Chips. Delicious
Rold Gold Classic Style Pretzel Thins from the States are available at Villa Market in BKK- those beat chips any day.
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.
Lay sour cream n onion are back in stock in all the 7s.
^ Didn't noticed they'd gone..maybe there was a back log in the jungle here..
These are nice.. taste like Wotsits..
Even though there's a gay picture on the packet..
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?
Not my cup of tea.
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.
