I vaguely remember Hedgehog crisps but l have never heard of Fiddler’s crisps? I wonder if they are only available up your way!!

Why wouldn’t you eat own brand crisps? I’d imagine some are manufactured by Walkers or some other big name for the supermarket?

Re: Own Brand Ready Salted Potato Crisps X 6.

I get mine from Farmfoods, Arty - not sure who else sells them.

Oooh I never thought of doing that - putting vinegar in them. That sounds like an excuse to scoff them all in one go

I make my own crisps occasionally in the oven, with a bit of salt added once cooked & crispy.

I usually make my own - but - my favourite shop bought ones are the Co-op own 'Mature West Country Cheddar and Red Onion Chutney' - they are really delicious.

Since 1989, Walkers have been a division of PepsiCo and, as with all "globalised" products, quality has suffered considerably. In fact, IMO, all "popular" brands of crisps are far inferior "to "niche" products .....

Yes Pixie, if you put vinegar on, don’t wander off for long and come back to them... unless you like mush!!

Yes ST, l made them myself years ago for my children but they had to be eaten quickly before they went soft.

Those Co-Op crisps sound lovely. Shame, l didn’t know two weeks ago when l visited a Co-Op near to where l get the hen food!

Re: Own Brand Ready Salted Potato Crisps X 6.

I don't often eat crisps, but Mr B likes the salt & shake ones - Tesco sell Walkers Salt & Shake at £1.50 for a pack of six, or their own brand, 'Tesco Shake to Salt', 77p for a pack of six. Guess which ones we buy

That's a heck of a price difference! I'm not guessing which ones you go for though!
