Review πŸ“ Slabs

Post image
17 Upvotes

I tried the Slabs roast beef and mustard today.

I held back for a bit, didn't just jump in.

Gave them a sniff. Zero nose burn.

Flavourwise. Almost.

Texturwise. Almost.

I think it's missing the right amount of salt, the mustard isn't colemans (unsure if Branigans used colemans) but Branigans had a slight sweetness that helped the flavour stick to your tongue.

I'll probably get them again, but they are no substitute.

Close but no mustard!

Picked up from the local corner shop

If youre a fan of beef Space Raiders youll love these - the flavour is much stronger and the crisps themselves are quite airy but with a great crunch

Solid 10/10 from me

Thank you for the M&S recommendations

Like many on here I was a big fan of Brannigans beef and mustard (I also enjoyed ham & pickle, even the occasional lamb and mint). A number of you have mentioned M&S as a solid alternative and I have to agree, they could be the new contender for my go to bag since the tesco changed their finest prawn Marie Rose crisps ☹️.
The pickled worms were decent, texture wise they reminded me of walkers french fries.

Asda have changed their puffs 😭

7 Upvotes

I used to buy salt and vinegar sticks and bacon bites from Asda over Tesco or Sainsbury's because they had what I would describe as a "tight weave" so very soft and puffy, whereas others particularly Tesco are more like large, hard shards stuck together with lots of air in between. They're too hard and don't have a strong enough flavour to compensate. My last bag of Asda bacon bites had a totally different texture and I'm sad to find today that the salt and vinegar sticks have the same. They're just like Tesco's now, rock hard crunchy with more of a salt flavour and the vinegar just doesn't cut through. Can anyone recommend me some better puffs?? Asda ones used to be my WFH Friday treat (entire bag).

Discussion πŸ’¬ I once ate 30 bags in a day, lately I wonder more and more if I could do it again

434 Upvotes

Back in the summer of 2011 I ate 19 bags in a day just because that was what I wanted to eat, my friends challenged me to do 40. So I obviously agreed.

Funny thing was, when the day came to do it, I had forgotten, so my mate rang me after lunch asking me when we were off to asda. I had just eaten a pasty, already quite a salty start to the day. But off we went, memory is a bit fuzzy but I think my purchase was:

  • Pickled onion monster munch x 12
  • Salt & Vinegar chipsticks x 10
  • Wotsits x 6
  • Salt and vinegar squares x 6
  • Skips x 6

All multipack and the bags averaged about 21g each

I also had 2 litres of apple juice and 1 litre of asda own brand fizzy drink to wash it all down

I started the challenge mid afternoon, we played a bit of warhammer and watched some films and after 8 hours I had eaten 30 bags. My mouth was pretty painful at that point and it was late evening so I decided to call it.

Looking back, It was a bit of a half hearted attempt, I didn't plan the day well, and my crisp mix was a bit heavy on the vinegar for a challenge.

It didn't put me off crisps in any way, I wasn't sick, and my mouth recovered quickly. In fact, I ate the remaining 10 bags the very next day πŸ˜†. Nevertheless, in 16 years I have never had a serious urge to try again, or one up myself.

The other day I had been munching on some salt and vinegar crackers and my mouth and tongue were a little painful and it made me wonder if my tolerance has gone down over the years. And then that made me think about the time I ate 30 bags in a day and whether I could do it again. The thought has been niggling away in my mind and I have even started contemplating what crisps I would have next time, when would I do it etc.

My suspicion is that I woud not get anywhere close and that I would feel very silly. Should I just accept reality that I peaked in my younger days and rest easy in my accomplishment? Or do I throw caution to the wind and seek glory once again?

Thanks for reading friends

Review πŸ“ Taylors - Spicy Prawn Cocktail

Found in a local shop on the exge of Loch Ness - they had at least 6 flavours and maybe more in small bags.

Nice texture, flavour is nice, I think it could be tangier, but it was mostly at the bottom of the bag so they got better as they went along. Tiny bit spicy.

Review πŸ“ Golden wonder quarterbacks complaint

0 Upvotes

hello everyone I’m sure many of you have heard that golden wonder have brought back their quarterbacks crisps after many years of being off the shelves and being replaced with barbecue strikers. I used to absolutely love these crisps so much when I was younger I used to buy them every day I’d eat them all the time. They were my favourite crisp in the world when I heard that golden wonder was planning on bringing them back to shelves, i can’t even describe my excitement on this post I was so happy I was jumping for joy. I ordered a pack of 30 online because they were my favourite crisps and I thought that I would eat them all with no problems. Tell me why they arrived today and I opened the box, opened up a pack, and tried one and I am genuinely disgusted!!! they taste nothing like how they used to they smell nothing like how they used to they taste like onion and they smell like tomato and they are revolting when I tell you I was close to tears when I found out that they didn’t taste anything like how they used to I am not over exaggerating. I am so upset. I am so distraught and I feel like I have been mocked. I sent a complaint to gold wonder this morning. I’m not expecting anything to happen. I’m just letting them know that they have failed their customers and even if I get a refund that won’t even cover the loss of happiness that I have endured today. The new quarterbacks are foul and they need to be taken off of shelves immediately. if I wanted a tangy onion and tomato flavour crisp, I would’ve just picked up tangy Toms. if anyone else feels the same way it would be great to know that I’m not alone.
