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?

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

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.

      the real question is what to do about it - who to hold accountable and who is actually willing to engage, or will it escalate to residents taking legal action, as with Brockwell Park last year? it could be worth connecting with their group, although I think they are Lambeth, joint forces may be more powerful.

      I'm sorry to hear this - there is too much of this around. Your son did the right thing to let go of his possessions - I hope he's not too shaken up and certainly not taking it personally, or thinking he should have done something vigilante style like fighting back. We live very close by and are usually out in the evenings with the dogs - hardly ever see anyone so will take extra care from now on.
