Crisps: who makes the best?
Discussion
I am a crisp lover, there I said it.
However, easily obtainable crisps at a decent price makes for difficult choices.
My 'go to' have been Walkers for a long time but something has changed and not for the better. Apart from the 45% less salt thing going on the taste has changed and they are weird now and I don't like it so...
Who is your crisp maker of choice? And has anyone else noticed the change in Walkers ready salted? If only Burts were easy to get hold of oop here..

I’m sorry but in my opinion, there is no such thing as a bad crisp! Walkers, Golden Wonder, Burt’s, Tyrells, Pipers, Two Farmers, Slabs, Lidl, Aldi, Waitrose, M&S, all of them are brilliant. Admittedly, some flavours are slightly less tasty than others, but it doesn’t matter I can eat big bags or small bags of any of them without the slightest hesitation.
The problem is I can do exactly the same with Doritos, Wotsits, Pringles in fact any savoury snack, except for bloody popcorn which I hate with a passion! Even the so called crisps made from peas, lentils, chickpeas are good enough if there aren’t any potato or corn based snacks within arm’s length!
If I had to pick a favourite it would be a toss up between M&S Smoky Bacon and Kirby Malham Chorizo by Pipers.

Probably return to normal soon, with factory pushing through new crop.Who is your crisp maker of choice? And has anyone else noticed the change in Walkers ready salted? .
1 - U.K. shortage of suitable potatoes towards end of season v a commitment printed in the bag to use sustainably sourced British potatoes, may have led to things not being 100% as they’d like…
2 - crisps are not consistent anyway through the year, the factories don’t use one variety throughout, they instead switch as time goes on & length of storage increases. Probably best crisps are just being made now with this season’s potatoes.

Burts even if they do call them 'chips' these days.
