OK, it took a while, but Damn! The WALKERS CRISPS NEW FLAVOUR POLL

I was sure we did this but if anyone knows his way around "search" it's Mark. So I say "Duck".

Oh, I remember now, they were discussed here...
Why are Walkers Cheese & Onion and Salt & Vinegar crisps in the wrong packets?
Mostly negatively iirc.

buuilder's breakfast in all its eggy deliciousness

any mores?

Ah, yr right, I hadn't seen that discussion.

As stated there, the Onion bhajii was fine, but the others I have in exactly reverse order (FISH AND CHIPS? YOU CRAZY??)

Fish and Chips taste exactly like fish batter, therefore seem even greasier than other Walkers crisps. Why not just have lard flavour and be done with it?
I have a problem with crisps that do actually taste just like the thing they're supposed to taste like.

only had duck and squirrel ones, liked the squirrel, but hated the duck.

They were all fucking vile. Give me salt & vinegar any day.

I quite liked the fish and chip one. Is like tasty greasy offspring of Scampi Fries and Walker's roast chicken. It's that or the onion bhaji, for me.

The chili and chocolate ones were so disgusting that none of the six people who tried the packet I bought wanted more than one of them.

And I haven't seen single packets of the builder's breakfast for sale anywhere.

The duck one was beyond foul, couldn't bring myself to buy the chilli and chocolate. Quite liked the squirrel one and bought it on several occasions, but it was an old-skool synthetic 'tastes nothing like the real thing' crisp.

Yeah, the squirrel one is the least offensive. Builder's Breakfast is disturbingly authentic.

This is verrah odd.

C&C was the one that got the general thumbs up. Duck/Hoisin was most favouritted, followed by Cajun Squirrel.

Onion B isn't too bad either.

F&C was considered "rank!", did we get a bad packet you reckon?

will be v disappointed if onion bhaji doesn't win the nationwide poll.

are the various flavours in BB mixed together, or does one crisp taste like egg, another bacon, another ketchup etc? i couldn't work it out.

only tried the Fish&Chips and Breakfast ones - both pretty good

or does one crisp taste like egg, another bacon, another ketchup etc

can you imagine the logistics in trying to get that to work?

well how do they organise packets of Haribo star mix? same principle

i imagine crisps as being more fragile and less amenable to proper mixing techniques.

I quite liked the fish and chip one. Is like tasty greasy offspring of Scampi Fries

Made me think of Scampi Fries too. The only other one I've tried was Builder's Breakfast, but have no idea what this tasted like or what it was supposed to taste like.

Kind of like Smoky Bacon?

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Fish & Chips the best of all the ones I've tried - nice and vinegary.
Cajun squirrel and Hoisin Duck a bit meh.
Builders' Breakfast - just tried these today and they are freakishly realistic. Although somehow not very nice at the same time. And I say this as a fan of both crisps and breakfasts...

I guess I will vote for fish+chips here (where it is important to represent against the haterz) and onion bhaji in the real thing (where it is important that whichever is more popular out the 2 flavours I wd actually buy again wins, and chilli and chocolate is not allowed to keep existing, honestly get that thing onto the culinary disasters thread now)

(except I think you're allowed to text in more than once in the Walkers vote so that doesn't make much sense, but that's not exactly a first for my posts)

cajun squirrel is pretty bland

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

OK, that one I can accept.

Builder's Breakfast won (the official compo anyway)

(beware - audio)

yeah, OK with that but had at least three I liked better.

FUCK

Srsly, these are all repellent, and the duck is the most disgusting of the lot. Walker's food technicians really blew this out.

Nah mate onion bhaji were great.

It sounds tough, but the remaining five flavours will be taken off the shelves

FUCK

Bill A bang on the money.

duck was disgusting but loved the fish and chips. sad to hear its disappearing :(

The fish and chips one I had was absolutely disgusting, we chucked the pack after Alice and I tried one crisp each, and Amber wouldn;t go anywhere near them.

Was it a bad pack?

Fish and chips was horrible, you and Amber did good. But I dislike those Sacmpi Fries you get down the pub, so I can see how tastes would vary.

I'm not happy about ONion Bhaji going, that's the only flavour I would actually, you know, buy.

Crispy duck was one I could say "isn't done elsewhere", along with the Chili/choc one.

They need to publish the results, damnit.

world cup crisps, anyone?

Germany are good, Japan aren't very good.

the northern europe 6-pack in sainsburys aren't vegetarian friendly. dunno if that's all three flavours or only some of them. had the sweet chutney and the kangaroo. both tasted like oddly flavoured crisps.

new flavours for Red Nose Day:
Stephen Fry Up
Jimmy Con Carrne
Frank Roast Dinner
Steak And Al Pie

The Chilli Con Carne flavour is pretty accurate but not very interesting tbh. Don't have any desire to try the rest of them.

Chip shop curry flavour is decent.

Oh wait that's golden wonder.

Cheese, Cucumber and Salad Cream (flavour)
Ham and Mustard (flavour)
apparently 4 more flavours, inspired by sandwiches...
