I loved them especially the Cheese and Tomato flavour, I think they stopped making them over a decade ago. Yes. I loved the salt and vinegar ones! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 One for @kingjoey and @TommyDickFingers Aldi's maple glazed gammon crisps may be gone...but they have just released a pretty good (and very similar) line. Not crinkle cut like the old ones but I reckon these are very close to the original, if maybe not quite as sweet. Not sure of the difference between this limited edition one and the regular pigs and blankets, but this is the one I got and they're great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venti Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Best crisp & dip combo. (Or is that another thread?) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 (edited) My other half disappointingly fell into the gimmick trap by buying a multi pack of Walkers' pigs in blankets flavoured crisps. They're utterly dreadful. Avoid. (not so much the taste, just incredibly bland, like somebody mixed up milligrams and grams when stocking up the factory machine) Edited November 30, 2023 by Hedgecutter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried the Walkers Max Peperoni Pizza flavour the other. Tastes nothing like Peperoni Pizza. Its just generic meat flavour #1625. I suppose when you think about, that's what most crisp flavours are; just a random combination of flavourings that we've been conditioned to accept tastes of what they claim its meant to be. Are Ready Salted and Salt & Vinegar the only truly authentic flavours of crisp? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those giant 'dried pigs ear' crisps* are rather bacon-ey and taste exactly how I imagine a pig's ear would taste. *they seem to go hard with time rather than go soft, which I find somewhat suspicious. Maybe an additive thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try and avoid "meat" flavoured crisps but was seduced by these. Could have been any flavour though. 5/10 Couple of days later, went against my better judgement by buying a large packet of Max Strong crisps. Have always been let down with them whenever I have caved in and bought them but the Fiery Prawn Cocktail tempted me in. As ever spicy hot return with no substance to flavour.

scottsdad Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Loaded up on more of the Aldi limited edition Pigs in Blankets crisps - note that they are in the middle aisle and not where the crisps are. I've been in 2 branches and same story in each. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
