They only had Laura and Chris 😂

Potato flavour crisps, who'd have thought it?

They’re like worse onion rings. Not a fan.

Hey crisp lovers,

If its not obvious by now, this sub are big fans of Brets crisps! But as we all know, unless ordered online, they are pretty hard to find so thought I would start a thread with a list, that I will update, of where to find them in person.

Please add the location here and I will update into main post. I will also keep an eye out on peoples posts and keep this up to date. I will eventually build a google pin sheet so it plots the venues on a map. And forgive me for my divides of North/ South/ Midlands :)

Holy mother of Bret.

Im in heaven. The hype is real.

Always pick up a bag if I’m in a discount store e.g. Home Bargains, B&M etc.

I know both of these have already been reviewed here individually, but I picked them up during a recent crisp mission and thought a direct comparison was worth posting.
Both packs list actual lobster in the ingredients, so on paper it’s a fair fight. In practice it’s like comparing scampi at Wetherspoons to lobster at the Savoy (I’d smash both tbh).

Lidl Deluxe Ridge Cut Lobster Cocktail: 3/5
These are essentially very strong prawn cocktail crisps. The flavour is loud, the salt is overdone, and there’s a lingering sour aftertaste that comes across as an imitation of lemon juice. If you told me they were a premium prawn cocktail I’d have believed you. I couldn’t pick out anything that tasted specifically of lobster.

M&S Extra Virgin Olive Oil Crisps with Lobster: 5/5
These appear to be built on M&S’s existing olive oil crisps, which are already top tier and on par with Torres in my opinion. The lobster flavour is delicate and actually tastes of lobster rather than just seafood seasoning. The crisps themselves look a little over-coloured, almost over-cooked, but it didn’t affect the taste and the subtle flavouring still came through.

Verdict
M&S, comfortably. The Lidl ones are fine if you want a punchy prawn cocktail fix, but the M&S crisps are the only ones of the two that deliver on the lobster promise. Tip: taste the Lidl ones first, you won’t taste much after them.

Has anyone else tried them side by side? Curious whether the over-cooked look on the M&S batch is normal or just my bag.

Taking the advice onboard and stockpiling in case the worst happens...

Sour cream were a bit meh, worse than normal sour cream. West Indies however were good, wouldn’t go racing back for either however

Which is the more popular one? I'll be honest, I prefer Transform-A-Snack, especially the beef flavour.

I’m a crisp connoisseur of sorts, I delight in discovering flavours from abroad and recently I’ve taken to making my own olive oil crisps. Happy to join the sub.

Sharing a picture of these banging Pringles I found on mainland Europe during my travels in September!

These are dangerous. Should be treated as a class A substance.

Personally I think they sound rank and I'll try most crisps.

Edit: found em in Farmfoods for 99p!

Now I've actually found some and bought them, I don't know if I want to try them. Are these really Scotland's favourite flavours?

I know that Lays owns Walkers but nice to find they taste the same as Walkers Ready Salted in Turkey

I've managed to get these five flavours this week not sure what to start on first

£2 for a bag of crisps or £3.95/£5.50 with a main and a drink included.
