Looking at the list of chemicals, I'm glad I only eat plain ones  :evillaugh: - I suppose you could always dip them in ketchup?  :shify:

I used to love bovril crisps many moons ago.

No. I get them whenever I go over to Holland, my Dutch friend comes here or another friend goes over. I fancy some at the momen though  :doh:

Just did a test shop and the Belgian site is expensive ... You have to order $50 minimum then its $32 standard delivery then $3 fuel surcharge. But there is a Canadian ebay site selling 3 large bags for $13CD with $11 delivery within north America .. Cant find anything about if they are willing to ship internationally.

As for Walkers Ketchup .. I cannot find them anywhere, think they stopped doing them. The Lays ones though are much nicer, they have a very strong flavour which does hurt your tongue after excessive consumption  :-[

The American Lays are just rubbish .. no imagination when it comes to flavours - ranch, sour cream, barbecue  :P

So surely Walkers tomato ketchup crisps would be the same?

I also read that they own Smiths - although they are totally different and really greasy  :sick:

While I was googling this morning, I read that Mr Smith who started Smiths crisps considered flavouring them with ground dog foreskin in aspic  :scared: :sick: - but changed his mind. I thought it was nonsense so googled  and there were quite a few references to it  :Crazy:

a) What kind of mind would think that up?
b) Where would they have got them from?  :scared:

Oh, Lays are Walkers .. actually Walkers are Lays  :evillaugh:

The Heinz Ketchup ones are to die for!! Especially since they come in the really, really big bags which I can polish off in one sitting.

Memphs is quite partial to prawn cocktail and pickled onion  :scared:

McCain are my favs

McCoy's?  :evillaugh:

We have some seabrooks ATM as the ridges are good for scooping up chilli cheese nacho dip  :shy:

Tesco do their own version of McCoys - possible made by them?

They were selling huge bags of plain ones but they stopped selling them which is a mixed blessing really.

OH tells me the bags of crisps (or chips  :evillaugh: ) are huge in America.

They look like Walkers, I just buy plain mainly Seabrook but also Walkers - althought they're a bit too salty for me.  I think McCain are my favs but hard to get plain round here mainly it's multi-packs.

You find them all over Europe and I suppose in America as well. I like the Paprika flavour ones although I don't really do flavoured crisps and only buy plain ones  :evillaugh: - they have boxes of 32 packs of Walkers in Lidl ATM for £2.99 but I find the flavourings too harsh  :Crazy:
