Salt n Vinegar Crisp Flavour

[BrynCartwright]

Is it just my decrepit 52 year old taste buds to blame, or has the wondrous, my favourite crisp flavouring of all time been fiddled with negatively in the last few years to the point of complete rejection..?....the only two modern crisps even remotely like SnV of old are :-

Discos

KP McCoy's Ridge Cut

Horrible flavour, only smokey bacon is worse.

Oh poo poo poo! What a particularly negative response there from Itchy...

SnV is one of the top 3 popular crisp flavours of all time along with...

1. Ready Salted

2. Cheese and Onion

Check out the Coop Sea Salt and Chardonnay Vinegar crisps, they are very good. Ether Aldi or Lidl do their own version which aren’t too bad either.

Tesco finest crinkle cut sea salt and chardonnay vinegar. Literally takes the skin off the inside of your mouth. Absolutely magnificent.

Vinegar is the devil's urine.

Tesco finest crinkle cut sea salt and chardonnay vinegar. Literally takes the skin off the inside of your mouth. Absolutely magnificent.

And only 99p for a large bag. You can eat one of these bags and still taste the experience for hours afterwards.

Walkers S&V are also very good.

Sprouts are the devils bollocks

Less oil in your crisp nowadays Bryn.
That's the issue with flavour.

Salt n Shake. Surprised they still sell them to be honest.

I’ve never been a fan of S&V crisps, second worse to Prawn Cocktail. Then again I don’t put salt or vinegar on chips.

They (salt n shake) came many years after the Smiths bags that Robbie spoke about. When I was a kid in the 50’s that’s all you got. Plain crisps with a little blue bag of salt. Oh the nostalgia.

Yes they are still available to buy , but in general packets of crisps nowadays are bags of fresh air.

The thing is, all the crap that went into snacks that made them so wonderful back in the day has been banned or reduced by the "healthy eating brigade"!
Don't get me started on chicken and mushroom Pot noddles!!! Almost inedible nowadays because of reduced salt content
