I used to agree with you that Beef and Mustard Brannigans are the finest crisp I have ever had until I tried the Ham & Pickle flavour by the same company.

they are also amazing crisps. it was a choice i made, i didnt want ham and pickle, i needed to eat the beef and mustard ones. True perfection in a bag. Though im sure heroin is that too to some folk!

Brannigans were always nice with a pint cos they were so dry.

Can't imagine that they'd be any good in a packed lunch.

As for dipping in tea or other strange fetishes I wouldn't know.

That gets me thinking right.

How come I like peas but other people don't like peas? Do peas taste different to me? Are my Peas someone elses bananas?

Then that gets me onto colours

Is my blue your blue? maybe flourescent pink is my brown, we're only told colours are gaudy by other people, perhaps the dullest colours are the gaudy ones to other people

Now Bovril crisps I like and thinking back years Golden Wonder Baked Bean flavour. Whats wrong with peas?, the town I come from does a strange dish in the chippies and thats a pea ball, a cricket sized lump of mushy peas dipped in batter and then deep fried.

It does taste better than it sounds but only just, for the record you can keep deep fried Mars Bars, Ocean Sticks and fish with the skin left on (another Weymouth fad).

Fish should always have at least one side of skin left on - it's the best bit!

Rubbish. Roysters are nice, don't get me wrong, but they're not a patch on Brannigans Beef and Mustard. I remember my old man coming home from a fire with boxes upon boxes full of Roysters crisps when I was younger. It took me about 6 months to eat them all.

That's probably why though - you've been spoiled!

Brannigans are a British version of McCoy's, fundamentally. The beef and mustard flavour is pretty caustic too, I think they destroyed my tongue once after getting a packet in the Sibcas at Brinkburn many years ago :laugh:

And to be fair fella, I don't know many people who don't like the skin. You're getting cosmopolitan in your old age rolfl

These must be the most vile food invention (Japanese if my memory serves me correctly) I've ever come across. When they first came out there might have been a decent percentage of crab meat in them but now they are just eggy things that have been waved in front of a photo of a crab. And they feel radically unpleasant in the mouth

God the mere thought of them sickens me I'm going to stop.

crab flavourings and thats it.....

Pollock is the norm in 'crab Sticks' because it is a sustainable fish and most of all CHEAP!!

'ASDA use Pollock for fish fingers because people who shop in ASDA do not have much disposable money'
Quoted from their top boss! I forget his name!

Got to agree here. They USED to be able to call them Crab Sticks, but about 5 years ago they changed the rules and now they can't use the word "Crab" because, basically, theres fook all crab in 'em.

Vile, vile foodstuff.



They are the hotdog of the sea.....
