Yuk! Revolting pub snacks for fat proles with blotched and lagered skin.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Many thanks Jah.

[Jah Lush]

Nothing personal Michael. Perhaps I should send that revolting Gillian McKeith round to wag her finger at the lot of you.

BBQ Beef Wotsits!

Salt and vinegar chip sticks for me, the ones that make your lips go fuzzy! Mmmmm

I'd be interested to know other people's thoughts on the ultimate maize-based cheese snack. Balls. Curls. Puffs. etc

Sainsburys Cheese Balls have gone downhill since 1987, when they peaked. Generic puffs and balls are everywhere these days, but the flavour is often poor - especially if you've never heard of the brand and there's a picture of a red cockerel or similar on the packet.

Wotsits can be hit and miss - sometimes a little brittle, dry and lacking in that delicious pseudo-cheese powder. And I'm sure they used to be bigger.

M&S Cheese Tasters usually guarantee a good flavour but the proportions are a bit small so you need more than one at a time.

So, to reacap: I'm looking for a cheesy ball, diameter around 250mm with a slightly claggy 'cheese' surface but with a cripsy interior.

Can anyone help?

[Keef]

I'd still say Wotsits. Know what you mean about hit & miss, but I think you get more hits.

Quavers have a great fake cheese taste, but don't meet the puff/ball criteria.

Get yourself off to New Zealand - Twisties are the ultimate cheesy puff snack. And while you're there, Burger Rings are to die for! Nothing in the UK comes close.

I've got some in my Christmas box of goodies from Mum, but I'm not sharing!

[*Bob*]

Twisties were ok, but not really worth getting of bed for - let alone making the 23,000 mile round trip.

Overrated. (Like Australia)

[Keef]

Burger Rings were okay, but nout special. Now who remembers "Quarterbacks"? Used to love the Cheeseburger flavour!

Oh, and the bacon "French Fries" that came in the pack that looked like newspaper (well not really, but that was the idea).

They make a very good sandwich between 2 pieces of white bread.

[Jah Lush]

Burger Ring? Sounds like a euphemism for something messy in the trouser area.

[Keef]

Okay, best crisp/maize snack sandwich?

For me it has to be Frazzles with ketchup! Poor man's bacon sarnie, and a whole lot nicer than that veggie bacon shite!

I had a pack this morning! They're not particularly spicy. Not actually sure if they're nice, either.

[dulwichmum]

I love the Cadburies Roses with the orangey bit in the middle - yum!

what were those prawn cocktail flavour crisps shaped like little shells? Fit perfectly on the tip of the tongue and tingled crazily for a minute before melting into the mouth. I like them, can't remember what they're called.

[Annasfield]

Skips?

[Mr Django Wisteria]

Hedgehog flavoured crisps were a bit unusual. They found a gipsy gent who'd tasted roasted hedgehog to adjudicate as to the accuracy of the flavouring. And some of the money went to Saint Tiggywinkles the Hospital for Hedgehogs. Nice.

I miss those pickled eggs in jars on the pub counter. Not to eat but to look at while you were waiting for your pint.

[Mr Django Wisteria]

Frisps I think. Those shell like hoodjamaflips- that would be a good name for a snack. They weren't any good for conversation..Frisps.

[Moos]

Anyone remember Smith's Square Crisps?

[Keef]

Squares are great, they still exist, and they're still crunchy!

[sanity girl]

anyone remember salt 'n' shake?
