Re: Own Brand Ready Salted Potato Crisps X 6.
Well this is my first and second attempt at making the crisps, Kazz kindly posted the method.The first lot stuck to the plate a bit even though l oiled it. Might have been because l didn’t swish them in a bag of oil. I just coated them.
My second attempt, l did put them in the bag of oil. I don’t like the spray oil, it smells of petrol to me!
They did shrink a lot but l have to say, they aren’t bad if you’re stuck for crisps! They were a bit hard in texture to eat.
I had to microwave them for about 7 minutes as they weren’t going brown.
I don’t think l will be introducing ‘Artangel Crisps’ in the very near future!!
The first lot l did are on the smaller darker plate..

I have informed Walkers but it still happens.
Instead, l have been purchasing own brand Salted Potato Crisps x 6 and these vary in quality and taste.
Waitrose, Tesco’s and Sainsbury’s are nice but Marks and Spencer’s and Morrison’s aren’t nice. The M&S ones were the worst.
So, l wondered if you could recommend any own brand or similar crisps?
Do you stick to Walkers and wouldn’t dream of buying own brand crisps?
I only like Salted Crisps, not flavoured. Maybe cheese and onion at a push!
I used to love Oxo and Beef crisps years ago.
Smith's are nice l think Arty!
Donkeyman! 👍🤗🤗👍

I like Tyrrells too.
Although I do buy marks and spencer ready salted because they are also gluten free.
Sainsburys sell them ,got some today .6 pack £1 .
My second choice would be Kettle plain , I never eat flavoured crisps , but the price is ridiculous!
M&S do good enough single bags but they work out expensive too.
I would never buy own brand,probably because I think they wouldn’t use best quality potatoes though I might be wrong .

I rarely eat flavoured crisps as they leave me feeling l have eaten additives and l get a feeling of an allergic reaction. It’s hard to describe.

I’m fussy on what I put into my body so have been a label reader for years and have to do without many things I like .
There are things I’d like to try that include things I’m not familiar with ...Chives for instance . What exactly are they?

Chives - a herb with a mild onion taste. Can be eaten raw or used in cooking. They are delicious when added to scrambled eggs!I always have a pot of them on my kitchen window sill but they can be grown out doors as well and have a pretty flower.
