Anyone tried the new Red Sky crisps yet?

I am sitting munching some of their Sour Cream and Green Herb flavour at the moment, and they aren't bad at all. I like the idea that they are made from entirely natural ingredients with no chemical stabilisers or flavourings, and the flavour itself is quite good (you can taste the individual ingredients that are making up the flavour) - the only criticism that I have is that the flavouring is a little sparse.

Overall, not as good as Kettle Chips in my opinion, but a pretty close second, with a good choice of flavourings.

I don't think they are that good. They don't have the same crunch/thickness as kettle chips. Plus they are made by Walkers, and I think the Angelsey Sea Salt tastes exactly the same as regular Walkers Ready salted!

Definitely not as good as Kettle Chips, but I'd say they are better than an 'average' crisp - - that said, I have only tried the one flavour so far.

I think i prefer the new Phileas Fogg's to Red Sky, they're not bad though.

I love the chive Kettle crisps but can I find a big bag of them anywhere?! Nope. Only the other flavours. Very annoying.

Yep, I've managed to get through two packets of them this weekend They were on offer at 2 for £2 at Asda.

Nice flavour, but I thought they'd be a bit thicker, I actually had them with some mild salsa dip which went down very well

I've tried the 'West Country Bacon and Cream Cheese' flavour, and I'm a big fan of them, havent tried any of the other flavours yet.

That's the only ones i have tried , they are delish

Very disappointed to find out these are made by walkers. That's the last time i will be buying them..

Yep, they're just Walkers in a posh bag with a higher price tag attached.

A quick search online will reveal some perfect recipes for making home-made crisps. Cheaper, quicker, easier, healthier and above all, tastier than any shop bought crisps!

shakes head and wonders where the thread about lovely crisps went

Can you please start a thread with a recipe for the
please, just to compare of course!!

Here we go again! GO COMPARE!!!

I've never known ANYONE in the history of the world bother to make their own crisps! Jees - I don't think even Nigella or Saint Delia would bother with that! U go figure...

I liked this flavour too.

I thought they were a little independent company dissapointed they are walkers....but they still taste good.

We used to have to make crisps at college - they're used as a traditional garnish on some steak dishes.

They always tasted bland though, unless you added plenty of salt. But that would be bad for you, wouldn't it?



I wonder, does the troll actually like food? <whistles>

Oh dear. Do you have time to do ANYTHING else apart from cook good wholesome food from scratch? Genuine question.

If I were a fly on the wall in your house and able to see your food cupboard, is it a fact that I would find absolutely nothing that has not been created by your good self?

Because if so, I applaud you. Its quite a feat. Not one I would like to do.


Ooh they sound good. Havent tried them yet! Might buy some in our weekly shop, see what they are like.


In the history of the world? LOL

Morning by the way

I can't imagine being bothered to make my own. It seems an awful lot of effort just for crisps!


My daughter made crisps once in home ec class at school. They were HORRIBLE. Until I poured half the salt container over them, then they were not bad.

I often make my own crisps. So do a few of my friends who are vegetarians. We like to control our ingredients and also control the quality. Beetroot and carrot crisps are a speciality.

I'm convinced this poster is really Nigel Slater....

just imagine him stepping into his back yard allotment, picking the spuds, selecting herbs, hacking off the maldon salt from a block in his cellar with his bare hands, grinding the seasonings......... and hey presto - 20 crisps made with his own fair hands, untouched by anyone other than god and his goodself........... :yawn:

Maybe they are the same!!!!!!

Stud U Like - or should that be SPUD U LIKE?

I stand corrected then - but that's STILL only 3 people in the whole world so far (that I know of anyway)

And this is why I missed you so much during the last series of SCD.

They sound yummy! Even I, with my minor cooking skills, might like to give them a go!

I like Tyrells crisps best - I used to be mad on Kettle chips but Tyrells win hands down!

Tyrells are lovely and I only ever buy them when the OH will be away so I can have the whole bag to myself Obviously not when I'm on a diet!

i think it's this bloke:
