Pringles - Pigs in Blankets
Dropped into the petrol station on the way home last night and saw these so picked them up.
They're all gone today as I found them very moreish. They tasted like a lighter version of smokey bacon. |

Anyone tried Walkers Stax, Pringles by any other name.

I once tried "roast squirrel" crisps.
If you asked me "do they taste like roast squirrel" I'd say "No idea, I've never tasted roast squirrel". Apart from the main tastes of sweet, sour, bitter, savoury and salty I doubt anyone can specifically identify a branded flavour of crisps or Pringles. |

Artificial and almost sweet, very odd.

Never had them, but I hope they taste better than the big bag of pigs in blankets crisps I bought in Tesco last week. Myself and my family all agreed they tasted like CHICKEN!

I think I had the plain (salted) version of Stax once and they had a weird aftertaste

The other day I noticed a pack which were "gressingham duck" flavoured. Sure, I can just about buy the idea of a duck-flavoured crisp, but the gressingham bit is just taking the piss. |

Haven't tried the Pringles ones but the Tesco own brand pigs in blankets crisps are pretty good. Quote:

In the old days, for example, you'd get cheese and onion flavoured crisps and think "OK, I see what they're getting at", but these days it's nonsense like "gruyere and french onion" for exactly the same thing.

They're not very good, a poor imitation of Pringles.

There are some that taste of what they're meant to though. We had some Brie and Cranberry flavour crisps from Tesco and they did genuinely taste like brie. |

I love Pringles but god knows what goes into them. Less than 50% potato.

Until last week I hadn't had any Pringles for a couple of years and is it my imagination or are they much thinner than they used to be?
I still liked them though. |

Or some of the crisps using other brands now like Marmite, Guinness & Hobgoblin.
Oh, and per Bill Hicks.. wtf is 'pigs in blanket' flavor? What's wrong with sausage? |

Because Pigs In Blankets aren't just sausages? I guess if you'd said "what's wrong with sausage and bacon flavour?" then that may be a fair point, although everyone knows what Pigs In Blankets are and it probably sounds better.
(also bit puzzled how UK version of PiB's came to be a 'traditional part of UK xmas dinner', when being a traditional Brit, I'd not seen or heard of them until a couple of years ago.) |

I'm in my 30s now and we had pigs in blankets with Christmas dinner when I was a child so they are by no means a new thing.

Yes they're lovely. Got 10 bags last week as they're only available for Christmas usually but the date is July '17.

Bah Humbug! PiB means different things to different people, ie in the US, they're more like sausage rolls. So sausage & bacon would potentially be less confusing, and PiB is the kinda thing that a marketing type who wanted to re-imagine Cheese & Onion as 'Crying Cow Juice' or 'Boohoo MooMoo flavor would do. Those people should be sentenced to something more productive, like teaching our colonial cousins the delights of 'Toad in the Hole'.
(also bit puzzled how UK version of PiB's came to be a 'traditional part of UK xmas dinner', when being a traditional Brit, I'd not seen or heard of them until a couple of years ago.) I know in the US they have pastry instead of bacon but I've not ever heard of them being called anything else in the UK. I've friends from all over the UK and they all call them Pigs in Blankets. |

Not tried the pigs in blankets ones but enjoy the ready salted but the price varies so much. In the past month or so I've seen them on sale at £2.79, £2.25, £2.00, £1.70, £1.20, £1.00 and even £0.99, plus possibly a few others.
The Walkers Snax aren't as good as Pringles but not a bad alternative if Pringles are in the £2.00+ price range that day. |

Hmm.. Hobgoblin flavored crisps? Sounds very.. Orcish. As for strange salt flavored crisps, check the ingredients. I was suprised to find some salted ones with salt 'flavor'.. Which kinda puzzled me on account of salt's ubiquity and cost. But expect it to appear in more stuff as pressure for salt reduction increases.
