An Irish brand called O'Donnell's Crisps (http://www.odonnellscrisps.com/). Just two flavours & they're utterly addictive. We can't keep them in the house!

Any of several brands of kettle style chips, plain salted. I'm not overly fond of Kettle Chips brand though. Too oily to the point there is often a puddle in the bottom of the bag.

Kettle Sea Salt and balsamic vinegar.

I found them in Scotland about four years ago and ate them almost daily while I was there. Have yet to see them in a grocers in the states. :td:

Salt and Vinegar. Most types.

Seem to be a lot of love for S&V kettle Chips on here but I find they don't have enough flavour. A good quality crisp though.

Seabrook S&V are amazing. Pringles just brought out a 'posh' S&V flavour that was very nice. I like the regular ones too but I find it's too hit and miss with how much flavour will actually be on the crisps.

If you can't tell, I like a lot of flavour on my salt and vinegar crisps!

In the UK, another vote for the Salt & Balsamic Vinegar Kettle Chips, and the newish Walker's 'baked' salt n vinegar. I also like the 'Real' brand (our local pub sells them, most flavours go well with a pint!). In the US I like Lays bbq or honey bbq and the kettle cooked mesquite bbq ones. Here in the UK bbq crisps are very meaty, but the Lays ones taste more like bbq sauce.

Tyrrel's vegetable crisps (parsnips/carrots/beetroot, etc) are nice but VERY greasy and cost a lot too.

Ohh that reminds me of the Phileas Fogg Punjab Puri crisps - ohhh they were seriously good! My father was a huge fan, and there was often a bag on the go (he would have a small handful as a pre-dinner snack, often with a glass of wine or beer, but mother has curtailed his habit after some none too favourable cholesterol readings!) Can you still get them, I haven't seen them in years!

if you want to avoid food places with roaches, i would recommend you visit almost every restaurant at about 9-10am, before they have the roach control people in. also, if you can get in before sunrise, and flip on some lights, you will find serious roach counts in almost every restaurant.

It certainly isn't a problem in every restaurant. There is no reason a restaurant that is well managed should have any more insect problems than a home kitchen. You get bugs when food is left out, surfaces, floors etc are not cleaned of food debris, and things like walls are not maintained properly. Restaurants should be on top of those things anyway, regardless of insect problems.

Actually, as well as the name, they are rather tasty, and do a very good parsnip crisp as well. However, my current favourite has to be these:

as sold by my local coffee shop. They also do a fantastic root veg crisp packet - parsnip, beetroot and carrot. If we're allowed non root-veg-based crisps, then these are wonderful, but irritatingly hard to find:

The ones I quoted are made using the ingredients from Heinz so I guess they were the Offical crisps, but you do get crisps that have the name and are made to taste like the actual flavour.

For example, in the UK we have crisps that are Vegetarian because they are made from ingredients that are not from meat. For example, you can eat "Steak and Onion"crisps if your veggie as it is made from chemicals made to taste like steak and onions but infact have no steak and onion in them!

I love pickled onion flavour Monster Munch and Scampi Fries (do these count).
I was partial to a packet of Frazzles when I was younger!

Ohhhh pickled onion monster munch! Mmmmmm! A close tie with cheesy wotsits I feel on 'not quite a crisp' crisp flavour!

Pringles -almost any flavor. They really are a good brand. The wife always has some in the pantry.

Old Dutch BBQ kettle cooked.. mmmm

Best peanut oil kettle cooked chip I've ever tasted. The flavor just accentuates the goodness.

Just the calories are overload.

Walkers UK have unleased their Mystery Flavour stuff!

Anyone tried them?

Walker's is Frito Lay? The logo is exactly the same...

ugh, really? They are horrible, like potato flakes fried or baked, I really don't like them. I am not big on chips in the first place, but pringles rank among the worst.

via Wikipedia. I couldn't find anything on when they were acquired, though.

Both Walkers and Lays are owned by Pepsi, although I think the crisps taste quite different (not least the different flavour options).

timeline like this, pepsi and frito merge in 1965 to make PepsiCo, pepsiCo purchased Walker's in 1989, interesting.

No, they were part of walker's which phased it out before being bought by PepsiCo.

Thank you for the answer. I remember an advert for them in the early 80s and the person had a Geordi accent.

Wise Potato Chips!!!! Only on the East coast, sadly.

Also, I really love Harvest Cheddar Sun Chips.

Doritos

And love love, Cheetos!

Saw Green Tea flavoured Lays in a local store today (Shanghai). Can't see those being a big seller.......

Out of the regular crisp flavours salt and vinegar was definitely my favourite.

There are some amazing Indian/Pakistani brand crisps.

There are a wide variety of flavours. Chicken Tikka, Chicken Jalfrezi, Spicy Tandoori and a few others ones made by Lays. Will have to find the pictures and show you all. :D

Juanita's tortilla chips are addicting. Seems like they're only available in Northern California and the Pacific NW.
