have you asked yourself why? Let's keep the debate focused on salt and vinegar. The undisputed best flavour. what's your favourite?

 

[vimothy]

ready salted is best classic flavour

i love ready salted but after three pints mccoys salt & vinegar emerge as a contender

Walkers has gone downhill victim of the Nanny State

First thing I do when I go into a European supermarket is buy one of those family bags of ready salted Lays - proper decent size, not one of these mealy mouthed Jamie Oliver approved portion.

peter hitchens predicted it all in his classic book "crisps in Britain"

Ready Salted is definitely the worst flavour, it's no flavour at all.

philistine take

Ready Salted is something I can't bring myself to buy. I associate it with boring old people and risk averse squares. But having said that, they taste shockingly delicious

My mum would always say, I only like ready salted I don't like all those horrible chemicals and it was that attitude that drive me to crisp extremism.

urgh, and so you end up eating salt and vinegar crisps? feel sorry for you luka

It's nice when there's a sugary element to crisps. Tomato ketchup flavour or prawn cocktail being the two which spring to mind. Thrillingly complex flavour sensations. You don't know which ways up and which is down.

I've always really really liked the taste of vinegar. I love pickled eggs, gherkins, pickled onions, malt vinegar on chips, very vinegary vinegarette, vinegar in all forms

 

[vimothy]

love pickles, wont hear a bad word said against them

 

[boxedjoy]

ready salted is my favourite flavour, also a layer of ready salted crisps put on top of a pasta bake is a game-changer

 

[luka]

I like English pickles best 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
