In this video, my wife and I try Walkers crisps for the first time! Join us as we taste test 14 different varieties of these popular British crisps. We were told that Walkers crisps are similar to Lays, and while we can see similarities, the quality of these crisps are definitely different.
Which Walkers crisps flavors are your favorites?

Hi Steve Lindsey .A good way to enjoy crisps is to put the entire bag full between two slices of bread and butter and munch. Lovely..
Yep!! Chip butty!!!❤😂
Crisp sandwich i think you mean.
Chip butty is lovely aswell but that's with actual chips inside a roll or bread @boggleboggle100
😂😂 yep!
Yeah lovely chip or crisp butty
Except American bread is very sweet and not good
English cheese is completely different to Americans cheese.
It's real for starters.
they need to visit a Cheese Shop when they visit the UK.
British cheddar is usually much lighter in colour than American Cheddar, which is often coloured with annato food colouring to make it darker. American cheese also has a milder flavour and "rubbery" texture due to a shorter maturity. British cheese is aged to create a more crumbly texture and stronger flavour.
@@jeanlongsden1696 "Blessed are the Cheesemakers" (Life of Brian)
Generally American cheese is revolting compared to British and European cheeses. It all a matter of taste at the end of the day.
Have you visited the US? They have more than one type of cheese.
Salt and Shake are historic. The very first potato crisp was invented by Mr Smith. It was just a plain crisp and it did not sell too well (it was British). So he hit on the idea of selling salt in a little twist of blue paper in every bag. Voila! It took off and crisps were born. I think Walkers bought out Smiths Crisps. The blue paper sachet is a nod to this history. Have been watching your chanel from the start, so pleased to see how well you are growing. That's due a lot to Lindsay and Sophia I think. 😊
I remember buying multi packs that had different flavours back in the 80s.
I think they were a diffrent brand though iirc.
I remember a time where they had flavoured packets. You'd end up with some excessively flavoured and some very bland. Didn't last long though - or at least mum didn't buy them for long
I remember having crisps with the blue twisted top salt bag as a child. Loved the baked bean flavoured ones, also Bovril, Oxo, and ketchup crisps! Prawn cocktail is the closest to the ketchup flavour maybe but think my favourite is Sweet Chilli - any brand. Also love the vegetable crisps (not Walkers)! Not keen on the baked or ridged crisps as they're so hard.
Smiths are still part of Walkers. Walkers is owned by PepsiCo along with lots of other major snack brands.
I'm not sure what it being British has to do with it and he came up with the blue twist because people kept nicking his Salt Cellars.
I'm starting to think you guys don't have much flavour in your food!! 😂 Prawn cocktail crisps are the best 👌
I've noticed this too. It makes me wonder what they eat because they don't seem to like any food or drink from either side of the pond.
Ross & Tina of YT channel Finn loves Food LOOOOOOVVVE our flavourings in everything but especially crisps and cheesy biscuits and Ross often complains that the USA just doesn’t seem able to “make” similar flavourings and that “our” crisps taste of what they are meant to - as what’s written on the packet fronts!!
And Americans are really weird about textures 😅
They like to eat dangerous chemicals that are illegal everywhere else though
@@weedle30 Ross and Tina are lovely. They are so grateful for what they receive and not rude about things they are not keen on.
So, as an ex-Walkers employee, I can explain the greasiness difference.
The UK use whats known as Sunseed Oil (its from a specific type of sunflower seed, i believe) to cook the crisps, which is *waaaaaaaay* healthier than the cheaper oil used in the US, which for a long time was (and might still be) palm oil.
So both countries use industrially processed non oily seeds.
@@tradwifeuk2117Nope. Sunflower seeds are VERY oily, 51% by weight. 1kg of sunflower kernels can yield around 700ml of oil.
@@tradwifeuk2117 how is a sunflower seed not oily? Do they not literally make litres of sunflower _oil_ ??
@@Mvrky0 Its better than palm oil and thats all that matters
Walkers Sensations Sweet Thai Chilli are SUMPTUOUS
Definitely walkers best flavour
Yes
You need smokey bacon and roast chicken
Don't forget Beef & Onion :)
@@franohmsford7548 - Don't forget Bovril!
Oh no, smokey bacon at a push, never chicken
i was about to say where are these flavors lol
@@hayee😢
_Definitely_ Roast Chicken over bacon any day!! 😊
(I _hate_ prawn cocktail
...and I _hate_ mayo on / with anything!).
❤I love pickled onion monster munch
Other Walkers flavours not included here are smoky bacon, roast chicken, Marmite, and beef.
Did you not get any Walkers sensations crisps? some of the flavours are Thai sweet chilli which is my favourite, sea salt, chicken & thyme.
There is also Walkers max strong crisps, flavours include hot chicken wings, paprika, jalapeno & cheese, & texan bbq, i love all these!
Other UK crisp brands inc Seabrook, Smiths, Mackies, Tyrrells and McCoys.
McCoys are ridged, as well as the usual flavours they also come in flavours like flamed grill steak, banging bbq, chip shop curry, etc.
Other crisp snacks include Hula hoops, Nik Naks, Wheat Crunchies, Wotsits, Monster Munch & Frazzles.
I agree with you about the Doritos whopper flavour, it is horrible! my favourite flavour of Doritos is the chilli heatwave.
Can't forget the minted lamb walkers crisps either when svailable - so nom
@@DaffCookie Oh yes, i do love the minted lamb flavour when i can find it.
What they said ☝️ 😂😂
I like the new 45% less salt ones, available in Ready Salted, Cheese and Onion and Salt and Vinegar.
👍🏼😅
Malt vinegar was a very uniquely British thing years ago, made from barley which we had lots of it was cheap to produce. Also during WW2 when lots of food was rationed in UK it was important to preserve any excess from your garden to last you all year. Chutneys would not be made because sugar was rationed so straight pickling was popular. Hence us brits like vinegar taste more so than sweet sugary, maybe not so much now as so much sugar has crept in to our lives. Vinegar on fish and chips is ideal to cut through the greesiness of fried foods while adding a flavour we all love.
Chip are actually healthier with vinegar on because it helps break down the fat.
One thing you have to understand is when brits say vinegar for fish and chips they mean malt vinegar not white vinegar.
or the onion vinegar YUM
Gotta have both malt and onion vinegar on my chips from the fish and chip shop 😋
Technically the stuff they put on fish and chips is not vinegar though no-one cares about it. I remember watching a Tom Scott video about it.
@@djs98blue It's classed as "non-brewed condiment" which amounts to the same chemical make-up as malt vinegar, though it's made in a factory rather than a brewery. It does taste different though: malt vinegar is richer with background flavours along with the 'vinegar' taste.
White vinigar is for cleaning your windows not for putting on your food. 😂
Never seen such a fuss over a bit of vinegar!😂😂😂 bless em
Lmao vinegar is good for you
🤣 they should try salt and vinegar discos 🤣😁
This video makes me want to go out and buy the walker's baked salt and vinegar crisps now 😅
Wait til they try pickled onion flavour! lol
@@hungreebear Turn your lips white, while you feel the burn in your mouth. Love them!! 🤣
Now you just need to pop all the left over crisps in the same big bowl, mix them up and play crisp roulette, sit, watch a film and munch the night away! xD
Prawn Cocktail makes me laugh cos every American thinks it's fish, look it up in Wikipedia, it's ketchup and mayo basically
Yes it's tge flavour of the sauce, rather than the prawns
I have no wish offend here whatsoever, but when Steve says about perhaps not liking say fish n chips with vinegar on in the UK, it's almost like him pre-empting or saying I wont like it before I have even tried it. Where as Lindsay seems more open to giving it a go. Same with cheese, there are so many cheeses to try over here from mild to blow your socks off in strength. What I would say is ask for a small portion of fish n chips between you both and if you don't like them, you haven't wasted your money or wasted a lot of food either. I do hope when you come over you are able to enjoy the vast amount of dishes we have available here. All the best.
Ya man likes to assume "gafferhood", ms Ashcroft. Sweeping statements seem to be a trait in these people. Cor blimey, maybe i've just made one !
According to the English Cheesemakers association (yes there is one) there are 0ver 700 varieties of cheese produced in the UK.
Watching you both react to a salt and vinegar crisp like you were eating a Carolina Reaper pepper was hilarious 😂
Great video.. I’m definitely a crisps addict! coming from the UK was horrified with the colouring of US crisps/ chips when I’ve visited, some of yours I’m sure would glow in the dark 😂 most of ours look the same regardless of flavour
If you don't like salt n vinegar, you're going to be buggered in a fish and chip shop 🤣🤣
they'll be fine they don't have to add that shit
A rather harsh punishment.
are you sure that you are going into a Fish & Chip Shop and not a Gay Bar?
The server will/should ask you if you want salt and vinegar adding or you'll be left to add your own
Article 29 in the Royal Navy "Articles of War" had the death penalty for B-ing...
Who else's mouth was watering as they were eating these? It's imagining the salt and/or vinegar that does it.
Pickled onion monster munch a game changer! Any of you guys from the uk remember the blue envelopes walkers put in packs of crisps containing £5 £10 notes?
Oh yes! They should do that again
That's got to be around 20 years ago, because you could also win a voucher for a free bag of Walkers
Yeah I found a fiver in a pack
Yes 😅 in the 90s I was happy I got the £5 I also remember the Pogs
@@AlanJones-kc4us maybe more
Someone should send them some salt and vinegar disco's 😂
or them salt and vinegar fries mana re they strong :D
Or some pickled onion monster munch 😋
Not sure what Steve would do if he encountered blue cheese like Dorset blue, Stilton. Then there is always extra mature cheddar😋 you can strip paint with it👍👍
Everyone should stay away from mouldy cheese 🤮
It's special, tasty and natural 😂👍
It'sthe most superior cheese , it's called "flavour" 😂@danurban9591
I think there is a tendency in the UK to prefer a sharper flavour in most foods and so we like pickled onions, pickled gherkins, salt and vinegar etc. same applies to drinks, lemonade and ginger ale are great but over here they tend to be sharper and not as cloyingly sweet as i have found most American soft drinks. Having some bite to it makes the soft drink more refreshing.
But whilst its not a law yet (ought to be) its pretty much universal to have plenty of vinegar on your fish and chips (or rather, proper fish and chip shop fish and chips - probably not what you want with a pan fried Sea Bass.....)
LOL! Lindsay chews very quietly while Steve sounds like he’s walking on gravel! 😂😂🇦🇺
I thought that when they were trying the chocolate the other day.
Exactly what I thought. Maybe the microphone is very close to Steve.
😂😂
watching aliens from another planet break a crisp in half to taste is quite hard work i've found
Yeha the tiny bites almost kill me off every time. 😂
Hi Guys , I've just had a packet of Seabrook crisps sea salted ( they do different flavourings too ) 6 bags in multipack for £1.35 . Good quality and cheap . 😊
I like their Canadian Ham ones and the Prawn Cocktail.
I can't stand Seabrook, terrible cuts of potato. Absolutely dull crisps. Burts on the other hand... Mmm
In my house we don't buy multipacks of crisps with different flavours in anymore because the ready salted and cheese and onion would get eaten but then the salt and vinegar ones would just sit in the cupboard until they expired and then get binned.
So for a long time now we've just bought multipacks with a single flavour in. That way we can make sure we buy the flavours that will mean all will get eaten.
Golden Wonder just do the meaty variety flavours in Iceland
It's the other way around in our house, salt and vinegar always go first followed by the cheese and onion and the ready sorted often goes out of date and into the bin.
@@martinwebb1681same. Ready salted it always left and just eaten when you really want crisps and that's all there is, or on a sandwich, or on top of a potato pie or pasta bake lol
@@kezlana6907 ... Just read my comment back and realised I put sorted instead of salted. 😂 Yes the ready salted are okay on a sandwich.
@@martinwebb1681 haha its alright. I see a typo in mine too. I often have typos. Typing too quickly and I rarely read it back 🤣 but tbh I didn't even notice you put sorted and not salted haha.
Yeah especially with cheese also in the sandwich 😊 but I like cheese with almost everything so... 🤣
How many people wipe their phone screens due to the black dot on the wall between them. 😂
👇
LOL, I cleaned the screen twice on my PC!!
Me too lol!
meeeeee pmsl
still a fair few flavours missing in the walkers!
smoky bacon, beef, roast chicken, marmite, bbq pulled pork, pickled onion, tomato ketchup...
Fun fact regarding the colours of the packets. The Squares used to be owned by Smiths and they always used Blue for their packaging. Walkers always used Blue for Cheese and Onion (contoray to popular belief as they were the first compamy to produce the flavour and others used Green when theirs came out), but when Walkers brought Smiths, they decidedto keep the popular Blue colour for Salt & Vinegar and changed Cheese & Onion from Yellow to Green to match everyone else.
There are few more flavours of crisps that Walkers make, Roast Chicken, Roast Beef, Smokey Bacon, Barbecue. Plus they have Walkers Sensations crisps with flavours like Sweet Thai Chilli, Sour Cream and Onion, Beef Wellington. There Monster Munch with Roast Beef, Pickled Onion flavours. Chip Sticks crisps usually Salt and Vinegar. Walkers also do Limited Edition Flavours that are available for a short time.
I will only eat cheese n onion in a green bag, walkers can sod off with their blue bag it's just not right
The reaction from the salt nd vinegar crisps is so funny it’s a beloved crisp here the stronger the vinegar taste the better 😅
Walkers may be the biggest-selling brand in the UK, partly because the parent company took over many smaller manufacturers. However, most people I know - at least adults - eat them out of convenience (especially at the pub), but choose better brands when they have the choice.
Agreed, Walkers is like 'default crisp' and i'll opt for something a bit more exciting usually.
Regular crisps I prefer Seabrooks
@@felixhenson9926
Absolutely - my “default” is Tyrrell’s, although they don’t have nearly as many different flavours.
But as they are discontinued, Kettle seems to be the nearest replacement.
Steve, you would be a nightmare dinner guest!
Fish and chips used to be cooked in beef dripping (fat). You had to eat them hot, obviously, and afterwards you would have enough fat on your lips, you could swim the channel. The vinegar was to cut through the fat on the chips as you eat and digest them. They are now cooked in vegetable oil and don't need the vinegar. Lemon juice is better than vinegar on cod, Steve.
No way vinegar is much better
I much preferred the lard. Chips just don't taste as good cooked in vegetable oils.
I still buy beef dripping for the fryer, but as said the vinegar cuts the lard, always a case of two chip onions to clean the mouth after eating...
I disagree. Fish & chips absolutely need vinegar. 😋
I hate vinegar on chips 😂
Steve just likes peanut butter 🤷🏻♂️😂
😁
I've just tried to wipe that black spot away again. It's just above Lindsey's shoulder. I keep forgetting it's on the wall.
Me too 😂
I've been doing that for months 😂😂
My screen has never been so clean trying to remove that spot. lol
🤣 me as well 🤣
I mentioned a while back and thought they’d painted over it, until I realised they were sitting in a different place
Salt & Vinegar Squares for the wiiiiiinnnnnn!!!!!! Great vid guys, keep up the amazing content from Gav, Somerset UK
Absolute fire with a Greggs sausage roll
Traditionally, salt & vinegar crisps were always in a light blue packet and cheese & onion were in green, but Walkers changed that and reversed it. Because Walkers bought almost all the other brands in the UK, they now have salt & vinegar in both coloured bags depending what the original brand had.
Think your idea of what BBQ tastes like and just the concept of it is different to ours
Their idea of barbecue sauce is inordinate amounts of corn syrup, just like macdonalds bbq sauce (mostly syrup).
No, in the UK here and I squeeze lemon juice on fish, but salt and vinegar on the chips
❤ ditto . Exactly!! 😊❤
That's foreign not on batter lemon on fresh fish. Unless it's salmon
@@chucky2316
I have lemon in battered haddock, with vinegar on chips /potato wedges.
I have to cut down on salt, and foods containing potassium - including sadly, potatoes - as my kidneys are not doing so well - they only had between 15% - 16% function in 2022/3. I Should find out tomorrow how well - if at all - they've improved, if I get to see the Renal Consultant at Guts, as planned (13:30 / 1:30pm) as have unfortunately missed three appointments at Guys Renal Clinic so far this year, (due to Transport failures...that is to say Their issues, _them_ not turning up to collect me, (_not_ me not attending) ...
If anyone would like to wish me "good luck" for tomorrow's Renal appointment (22nd Feb, 2024) I'd _truly_ appreciate it, because so far (fingers crossed) I've not required kidney dialysis...and I _sincerely_ _hope_
I still do not need it. 🤔🏴🇬🇧♥️🖖
I think everyone in the UK calls it Worcester sauce even though it technically is Worcestershire sauce.
Does Steve like any? 😂😂
I think he's a very fussy eater.
He often comments about the foods/flavours he doesn't like.
Which is many lol
To be fair he always tries things 2 or 3 times even if the initial reaction is negative. I’m sure off camera they find themselves dipping into snacks they weren’t too keen on at first. Look how gin has taken off in the UK in the last few years… tastes change
No Walkers Max Paprika??? Those are very tasty 😊
No
I have just watched you doing your crisps with the blue bag with salt inside! In the early sixties all you could get was smiths Crisps and Golden Wonder! The smiths crisp had a blue bag in them and you had to shake them up vigorously to distribute the salt! Well done to you for shaking them vigorously 😵💫 that took my right back to my childhood days when there weren't many different flavours! 🤣🤣🤣🤣😉You immediately went straight back to the early sixties whith your comment"Where is the salt?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a very young kid I remember shaking vinegar from the vinegar jar into a packet of plain crisps ( ready salted ) in an attempt to turn the packet of plain crisps into salt and vinegar, what I got was a packet of very soggy vinegar soaked crisps 😂
So much fuss over a drop of vinegar. 😂
That's because they're nasty!
Steve going a bit OTT while putting another one in his mouth. So funny. 🤣
@@susanashcroft2674 Yea
You are wrong.
For Lindsey, you actually can get Worcestershire sauce flavour in regular Walkers (Look for purple as the pack colour)
I’m pretty sure the Worcestershire sauce flavor was discontinued a while ago. Something about one of the flavourings or dyes being able to cause cancer.
Never seen anyone react to salt and vinegar crisps like that , not even a todller 😂😂😂
Salt and vinegar Squares is one of the greatest food items ever created by man (also Discos). Fight me.
Cheese and onion.
Perfect in a cheese sarnie. Couple of pickled onions on the side 😋
You need to try the childhood classic "Fish and Chips", the packaging is like a newspaper. They're nice, and then you hit the powdery bit at the bottom which blows your cheeks out
I loved those as a kid. Hadn’t seen them for ages though until Christmas time.
I also recall “chicken and chips” and at Christmas - along with the “fish and chips”, my fiancé found “sausage and chips” at one of the little cheapy shops.
@@rubilister9780they also do a curry sauce & chips one too!!
Yes we have various barbecue flavoured crisps, also Beef and onion flavour, Roast Chicken flavour, Smokey bacon flavour, Tomato Ketchup flavour, Marmite flavour, Ham and Mustard flavour, Pickled onion flavour, Baked Bean flavour, Cheese and chive flavour, Cheddar and sour cream flavour, Lamb and mint flavour, Chicken Tikka flavour, Chip shop Curry flavour, Lime and Black Pepper flavour, Jerk Chicken flavour, plus many more. Walkers alone have had over 140 different flavours of crisp. At Christmas time they even have Turkey and Bacon flavour also Turkey and Stuffing flavour crisp.
Yes we do have bbq flavour crisps! Pretty much every brand does them. I'm surprised you haven't been sent any of the meaty flavours!
BBQ Ribs, BBQ beef, BBQ pulled pork, being just some of them.
Walkers max Texas BBQ (Pizza Hut) are banging, also southern BBQ bugles 😊
space raders beef
Seabrook do Beefy, Canadian Ham, ketchup, smokey bacon etc too
You really should try:
Monster Munch, Pickled onion is the best
McCoy's cheese and onion
Hula Hoops - Any flavor
Although its not a potato chip, we do eat these at the pub like potato chips.
Mr Porkys Scratching - pork rings/scratchings
Lays and Walkers are the same thing but just marketed under different names, Walmart - Asda being another
i remember when a crisp packet had more crisps than air
Walkers fill their packaging with nitrogen not air
@@georgebarnes8163 its still a void just like air which was my less technical observation !
I remember also when crisps had a clear cellophane window on the bag so you could see which were the brownest...which are the best.
@robert-hh2ft Voids can't contain air
@@c_n_b i meant a void without the crisps nothing more complicated than that talk about making a mountain out of a molehill but go ahead
Unspecified cheese in uk,ussually means a variety of Cheddar🎩
I love you determined to prove how much you don’t like salt & vinegar!
Steve, what's the point in having a taste test when you don't seem to like any food. Leave it to Lindsay.
Crips need bread and butter um um 😊😊
bonus point for saying Worcester sauce at the start of the video!! Yaaay
You still need to try try, Walker’s Bacon, Pickled Onion, Tomato Sauce, Wostershire Sauce, Chicken then you can add in the Walker Ridged Crisps like Salted, Cheese and Onion, Steak - Walkers Sensations. There are many other flavours that you might try.
Best Doritos Chilli Heatwave, nuff said
Steve have a drink with you when you are trying to food .😊
lays ARE walkers, walkers started in the uk and were bought by an American company many years after they were started
Yup Frito-Lay or something to that effect
Quite niche but does anyone else remember Tudor crisps? Imho they were even better than Walkers when they were around.
JFYI: Walkers bought out Tudor in the late 70's early 80's and for crisp lovers it was a sad event.
Yep, tudor, KP and golden wonder were the thing in my day.
Plus discos and space invaders 😂
Tudor Prawn Cocktail were THE best.
My Mother remembers Salt & Shake crisps as a child, and she is 82 years old now.
They still sell em
I seem to remember the salt being in a little blue bag twisted shut , the plain were the original flavour , cheese & onion and salt & vinegar were next . Now there are so many flavours , a couple of points - the stronger flavours are standard pub snacks and best enjoyed with beer , also fish & chips with salt and vinegar are great and the pretty standard way to eat them .
From what I can find it's never been a twisted bag of salt but I also have memories of this, im only 40 😂
I'm thinking Smiths crisps , probably in the 60s , when there was only one flavour .
You are missing so many flavours 😂
Must try walkers sensations especially Thai sweet chilli
Salt and shake was the way Smiths sold the crisps after the war, Smiths were taken over by Walkers
I remember a multipack that had bags of plain crisps with packets of different flavours to shake on.
Except that Smith's had the salt in a twist of greasy paper. A pack cost 2d from my junior prep tuck shop.
Yes, and you used to get a decent amount of salt in the little shake bag, unlike todays measly few little grains.
My father only ever ate salt and shake as far as crisps went but he stopped a little while after walkers took over because they weren't quite the same.
@@vladd6787 I remember Flavour 'n' Shake when I was a kid so probably in the mid 80's
I'm a Londoner, ergo, "Woostah Sauce". But I hear many of my countrymen say "Woosta-sha". There are many counties in the UK with the suffix "shire", but no self-respecting Brit pronounces it like a Hobbit.
Gloucestershire - "Gloss-ter-sha"
Warwickshire - "War-rick-sha" (Yes, that's not a typo.)
Leicestershire - "Less-ter-sha" (Like the famous "Less-ter Square", in London)
Hope this is useful. Love the channel! 👍
I'm from Lincolnshire, I pronounce it Sheer. I do say Sher at the end of some Counties as in Yorkshire. None of them are wrong really it's the dialect.
I have friends in London, we always have a right laugh at the way each others words are pronounced. Don't get me started with friends accents in Newcastle & Dundee.😆
There's nothing like the Salt & Vinegar flavours for getting rid of pesky mouth ulcers. I love Roast Chicken flavour with a pickled egg.😉
oh no they make em worse for me!
Cheese and onion crisp in a butter sandwich 😋🥪 aha !!!
Crisps are best in a sandwich. Try with buttered bread, black pepper, cheese and mayo. Yummy!! Time now to try Chicken, Beef. Ham, Tomato Ketchup, Pickled onion......
Now I want to have crisps and it’s only 10am
Any time of the day in my house
Crisp butty
Just finished a pkt of Walkers roast chicken flavour. The best.❤
Squares are brilliant. Very sharp salt and vinegar flavour. 😋 😋
Squares and Discos used to be my favourites as a child. Didn't Smiths used to do a salt and vinegar twirl shaped crisp too? Original Smiths Salt & Shake were perfect.. Haven't tried the Walkers version.
@@spiritusinfinitus Yes, Smiths "Twists" which I remember as, very strong. But everything seemed stronger back in the day... Old school Twiglets could strip the skin off the roof of your mouth 😝
I still like a sneaky pack of Chipsticks when I find them 😋
4:08
Walkers used to do a barbeque flavour crisp in a black packet, but I believe it was discontinued. Aside from that, there is BBQ beef flavour Hula Hoops, and Texas BBQ flavour Pringles.
No matter how many times I see it. It must be an American thing but, every time I see any American on RUclips trying something new, they have to sniff it first. It make me chuckle every time.
I also find it a weirdly American thing to Cheers with each other often when eating or trying items. Steve, Lindsay & Sophia have done it many times. The only thing we Brits *Cheers* is *Alcohol*
Fish and chips don't have real vinegar, it's a brewed condiment they refer to as vinegar. I use Sarsons Malt vinegar, it's what many of the chippys in the area use.
You made a very good point when you said our pallets are different when it comes to vinegar flavours, I think we’re so used to having vinegar on chips etc and different foods we have a much higher tolerance to that bitterness, prawn cocktail is my absolute favourite ❤
Prawn cocktail mmm
Edit: _not_ "pallets" (those wooden things used in building / holding packaging etc) you meant '_palate_' our upper inside mouth / taste buds' which allows our preferred flavours.🤔😊❤🏴🇬🇧🖖
Walkers cheese and onion on two slices of buttered bread only way to eat them lol
Yes it wouldn't be the same with mayonnaise, like Americans use 🤢
I love prawn cocktail. Those and cheese and onion are my favourites. Honestly though we have so many good crisp flavours in the UK. And for salt and vinegar, the more vinegar the better in my opinion!
ah to be honest i dont like salt and vinegar but for some reason on fish and chips salt and vinegar is needed
Does Sophia get to try these too? What do you do with the leftover stuff if you don't like it (or if you do, but don't want to eat it all lol)
Oh yea. Sophia tries almost everything. The stuff we love is generally eaten within a couple days and we also share with Lindsay's family, especially her mom. :)
@@reactingtomyroots I did wonder about Lindsay’s mother, after you made a comment the other day. It’s lovely to see you try stuff from here, with your family. Good luck on your venture in the future, fingers crossed your channel keeps growing 😎
Some parts of the US deliberately mispronounce "worcestershire sauce" as "wash your sister sauce" lol
(Probably Alabama!) haha
Salt and vinegar on chips us proppa british, lemon is continental and we cant have that.
Well you certainly did your best to try and get some salt on those Salt And Shake Crisps. Personally I always added a bit extra from the pantry, sometimes even adding a light dash of Worcestershire Sauce!
Walkers typically use green packaging for salt & vinegar, and blue for cheese & onion, which tends to be the opposite of other crisps brands. Square crisps used to produced by Smiths Crisps, hence the colour being the other way around.
The square crisps and the salt and shake used to be made by a company called smiths, all cheese and onion crisps were green and salt and vinegar were blue, walkers decided to switch them round to be different in the public eye for more sales
Such a shame this video wasn't done back in 1990 as back then we had Brannigan's crisps which were mega thick and the roast beef and mustard flavour ones were almost like eating English mustard straight from the jar. They were real sinus clearers!
You can still buy brannigans at farm foods well all the old school crisps sweets and pop
I had seen Brannigans at the local BestOne store before but I've read that KP stopped production in 2020. I swear I saw them more recently but the last few years have been a weird blur and time is always speeding up! Back in the day I really liked their Beef & Mustard.
Sad news as I am a bit sentimental about snacks and sweets... I never really got over the demise of Pacer Mints.
@@damianeadie510 While I like Extra Strong mints and devour packets of them like there's no tomorrow, I found Pacers tasted too much like toothpaste. It still didn't stop me finishing off a packet of them though.
Walkers ready salted crisps on a butty 🥪 with lots of Lurpak butter on or as you say a sandwich
you need to try mccoys crisps, the flavours themelves are much better tasting than walkers, at least for me
The idea behind salt '' shake is that its either completely plain or salted to taste but only to a lower level than ready salted, so yeah, it's meant to be a very light salting.
Congratulations on getting to 60k subscribers! 🎉
Thanks so much! Always appreciate you hanging out with us and being a part of the fam :)
Walkers were bought out by Pepsi Co in the 80s (I think it was the 80s) but they tasted so much better before. My gran had a shop and changed from selling KP crisps to Walkers because they had a just cooked fresh taste unlike today. Pepsi Co also bought Smiths and Bensons crisps but they all share the ‘Lays’ logo. The crisps with the salt sachet were originally Bensons a very old brand.
BTW I prefer Golden Wonder Cheese & Union
Back in the 60s and 70s Golden Wonder crisp were by far the best , they were everywhere you went. They were the market leaders in Britain by the 1960s. Whatever happened to them I don't know because by the 1980s they had virtually disappeared from the shops.
@@martinwebb1681they still sell them just not as common as walkers. Places like b and m and home bargains sell them (I must prefer them)
@@martinwebb1681 they were still around but KP took it's crown
What about a canny bag of Tudor?
@@Salfordian ... KP, they were crap crisps, only places that sold them were off licences and pubs. They did do nice nuts though.
Wow, salt n vinegar is amazing. They make fish n chips soo much better. But... if you really really don't like it try tartar sauce. A but vinegary still but not full on and still acceptable to have with fish n chips.
Fun fact: I ate a packet of the pepperoni pizza flavour Doritos, immediately felt ill and threw up about half an hour later.
As someone who doesn't eat seafood of any kind....my favourite flavour is prawn cocktail 😅😂
Same!! 😂😂
Likewise. Best in a crisp sarnie with ketchup!
It's not prawn flavour it's more the flavour of the sauce you get on prawn cocktail (marie rose dressing).
You guys need to try pork scratchings a blackcountry treat love them the saltier the better
Another funny and entertaining video, thanks guys. I swear Lindsey gets more beautiful every day!
My Dad used to always pinch some of our food, even if he didn't like it.
When I would ask why, he'd say, "to remind myself how much I don't like it!"
Taste buds change as you grow, so it's actually totally logical to check these things haha
Walkers is always my last choice, apart from of course supermarket home brands which I mostly despise.
@@martinwebb1681 what's your favourite?
@@Phraeyah ... Growing up it was always Golden Wonder (when they were the market leaders), I also liked Brannigans Roast Beef and Mustard before they were discontinued, these days I like Yorkshire crisps, Tyrrells crisps, CO-OP sea salt and Chardonnay vinegar flavour crisp, and Brown Bag crisps.
