Crisps on Trains

[Greenback]

I pick up 6 packs of 25g or 33g single bags in Home Bargains when I am in the north - Surrey/Sussex is too posh for Home Bargains sadly. However, I haven't seen 50g bags in shops, only on trains!

Perhaps they are reserved for us Welsh. We are renowned for liking salt, and I find Godlen Wonder the saltiest crisps by far, at least in taste.

Anyway, back to to the trains, do any TOC's offer Yorkshire Crisps? Their website says that GC will offer them on their Bradford route - including Henderson's Yorkshire Sauce flavour!

What on earth is Yorkshire sauce flavour?

 

[WestCoast]

What on earth is Yorkshire sauce flavour?

I am also intrigued, what is Yorkshire sauce?

 

[Greenback]

What on earth is Yorkshire sauce flavour?

I'm hoping someone can tell me! I assume it's a version of Worcestershire sauce, or something similar?

 

[YorkshireRider]

Im a yorkshire man born and bred and not for the life of me could i tell you what yorkshire sauce is.

On the subject of 50g Golden Wonder, NXEC sold them when they first took over the franchise

Here is what I found...

Yorkshire Sauce


A sauce consisting of orange, Port, demi-glace sauce, redcurrant jelly, cinnamon and herbs.

Sounds awful

 

[radamfi]

I was about to say that, they do seem to be more of a "bargain" crisp now despite being quite good!

When I was a kid Golden Wonder crisps were in all corner shops but now since bl**dy Linekar and Walkers I haven't seen them in any corner shops except in Scotland.

I know on Southeastern they have the 'Big Bags' of walkers. 95p he tried to charge me last weekend when i went down. I gave them him back.

Don't get me started on crisps when I was a kid. One word, "Tudor".

"Nothing but the best for you, right lad"

Tudor done the best pickled onion flavour ever. Nothing comes close nowadays. Not even monster munch

 

[Darandio]

I agree, Spring Onion too. Which as it happens has become pretty much the hardest ever flavour to find these days.

Can you imagine the additives they used then though? Quite possibly a bit of crows foot and bulls testicle in there but who would have cared, they tasted lovely.

Will cost you 1 whole english pound on EC

 

[Welshman]

I think emt serve your basic walkers

I suppose EMT realise they'd be upsetting a good proportion of their Leicester passengers if they didn't!

[Description of "Yorkshire Sauce"]

To be spread on your Yorkshire Pudding, and washed-down with a cup of Yorkshire Tea?

Nay, lad, when I were a kid, crisps meant "Smiths"
In a normal paper bag which meant they quickly went soggy.
And if you ate the blue one in the dark you knew about it, as that was the salt in a paper twist!

Another blast from the past, they have made a comeback haven't they?

Opening a bag of "Salt N Shake" was always a tad exciting as there was the possibility of two salt bags, imagine that!

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Anyway, crisps. It's surely got to be McCoy's for a quality salted crisp, hasn't it?! Though you now have to part with 95 of the Queen's pennies for a bag in the Pumpkin, jeez... :cry:

Go to WH Smiths instead - more often than not they have a "Two for £1" offer running on McCoy's...


Now, I don't like the taste of salt - I wish they'd bring back "salt 'n shake" so that I could eat the things unsalted...

Still available Peter, talked about just before. I think you can get them from Tesco if you have one. (Probably likely)

In fact, I think Tesco do their own brand version.

It's actually Hendersons Relish

[Invincibles]

This thread got me thinking too much about crisps so I went to get some Numb and Spicy Hot Pot flavour from Lays (who must be Walkers)

Not available in the UK I do not think, but it might give the Wasabi Peas a run for their money.

I actually miss posh crisps now I see them mentioned so much.

 

[t o m]

You can still get Salt and Shake, they are by Walkers but it says 'originally Smiths' on the packet. I too like to just eat them plain. Sure I've seen own brand versions too.

You can only really get the sea salted Seabrooks around here, I know they do a lot more flavours as you can get them off their website. I know Walkers like to monopolise the supermarkets with their selling power.

I used to like a ham and mustard flavour, made by Brannigans. Not seen any for a long time, had a picture of a butcher on the bag.

 

[Hydro]

Cheese and bacon Red Sky. Now sold in Upper Crust. Perfect accompaniment to a ham and mozzarella baguette. The only rival to Flamin' Hot Monster Munch or unsalted Salt n' Shake.

 

[lyesbkz]

It's actually Hendersons Relish

http://www.hendersonsrelish.com/

True, but in an case this is the flavour of the crisps mentioned earlier (though why the crisp company calls it "Yorkshire Sauce" flavour when there's clearly a picture of a bottle of Henderson's Relish on the packet is beyond me.

If the point is to avoid confusing the non-locals, it hasn't worked!

Ahhh, Tudor Crisps...

And the block of flats at the end (known locally as the Dunston Rocket) comes down sometime this year!!

 

[craigwilson]

Kettle Chips Salt and Cracked Black Pepper, anyone?

 

[SS4]

The only thing I don't like about the crisps is that they make an awful lot of noise in the quiet zone lol

Never let the facts get in the way of a good exaggeration. Just 0.4g difference in the sugar content per 100ml between Coke (10.6g) and Pepsi (11g). A 500ml bottle of either contains the equivalent of 12-13 teaspoons of granulated sugar. A teaspoonful being approx 4.2g.

So with both 500ml bottles it's nearer 50g of sugar.

Yeah, I have to admit I was exaggerating there. I meant it more tongue in cheek than seriously

Locally sourced produce is seen as the way forward on our trains, but i'm sure they sell one of the posh varieties as well, but don't ask me which!

 

[GNER 373]

Anyone seen the new pringles, such as Margarita Pizza and Chicken Tikka Take Away! -gotta say try actually do taste like their named counterparts!

Tyrells are by far the best crisp going!
