Another fan of a strong flavoured cheese and onion crisp - tattoos are yum.

ETA taytos not tattoos are yum! Bloody autocorrect.

Also love Lays paprika.

I bought these before a plane journey (not for leisure!) last week based purely on the packaging - do not be deceived they were AWFUL! Not salty at all... just tasted like a tin of smoked paprika had been poured on top. Had to deal with breathing in that flavour inside of my mask for the rest of the journey :rolleyes:

😂 It's just a plain ring shaped donut covered in sugar.
No idea why it's called a gravy ring.
If I was trying to imagine what it is from the title, it wouldn’t be a donut! Or any sweet thing tbh 😂 anyone know the reason for the name ?!

Don’t all triangulate me at once, fraus! 1p discount at my rip off Sainsburys local, hurry, hurry, step right up 😅 seems a waste of a sticker

@emm , have had a quick look in wiki and apparently gravy is an archaic name for hot cooking oil.

Mmmm, hot cooking oil ring - yum.

ETA. Am talking about gravy rings, forgot to quote @emm.

I second the Co-op salt and vinegar crisps, they’re so sour it’s amazing. Also Tesco multipack crisps (like own brand walkers) are sooo good. I got a bag of 30 packs for under £3 because my son has assorted friends coming to play in the garden every day and they would eat me out of house and home if I didn’t throw crisps at them.

Also I really like ready salted kettle chips! It’s the only flavour I like but they’re so salty and crispy and oily it feels super indulgent. They’re good hangover crisps

Also crisps chat: what is the greatest flavour/brand? I personally think a bag of smokey bacon walkers is hard to beat but I know I'm alone on this one...
You definitely are not alone, epic crisps!!!!❤ Another vote for co-op salt and vinegar. I love M&S ham crisps. Peanuts are a firm favourite too.

I detest cheese and onion crisps 🤢

Cheeseburger crisps from France is the best crisps ever. Somehow they manage to encapsulate every bit of the burger- the beef, the mustard, the pickles. Magnifique (why do the French have all the best stuff 😭)

Crisps it's all about the McCoys Ridge Cut Salt & Vinegar. 👌

Cheese and onion crisps are an abomination. Should be illegal.
100% agree with the above. Oh and Monster Munch. People always seem to open a pack of Monster Munch in the one space the smell will not diffuse #8 you're stuck with pickled onion flavour attacking your nostrils. 😫

@Flumps that cake is proper amazing!! I can’t believe you have the Lego set waiting and not built it yet 😮
I’m glad there is a few Lego fans on here. That’s another hobby that people usually laugh at me for!


I‘ve already said this on the crisp thread but my favourites are Chilli Heatwave Doritos/Flamin’ Hot Giant Wotsits/Asda own version of Pringles 😋😋

I had a cheeseburger pizza in France once, ordered by a teenager. I turned my nose up, but was convinced to try a bit. It was goddam magnifique! I want one now 😩

I love Lego so much. It's silly (so I didn't say before), but at first I was so busy I didn't have time to do it, but now I am reserving the joy of building the Death Star until I've achieved something I'm working on (hahaha, JM style tease that, but I'm only not sharing the thing because I'm a bit embarrassed by it). It's going to be my reward for success. Sadly, the thing is taking a lot longer than I hoped, but one day I will build it.

This was one of my favourite ever cake orders - an Indiana Jones/Star Wars Lego crossover affair. I promise I will stop posting photos of cake now.

Good luck and I look forward to the day you post a photo of it built (I will politely pretend I’m not nosey and desperate to know what the thing is!)
Another amazing cake and good crossover. Personally I am more than happy to see many photos of cake. Our wedding cake was Lego themed, I’d post a photo but that would triangulate me for sure!

I rarely go to Tesco anymore because I have other supermarkets closer to where I live, and I really miss their Beef and horseradish crinkle cut crisps, they were AMAZING (sorry, veggies). I *do* love me a crinkle cut, and they were just the right thickness - slightly less thick than McCoys but not at thin as, say, Pringles, and *very* crispy.

Personally I am more than happy to see many photos of cake.
SAME!

Salt and Vinegar crisps are the best! I currently like the Tyrells ones, but that is as posh, sorry FANCY as I will go.

I LOVED these in uni, tbh looking back I should have just gone out to binge eat packs of these and not binge drunk loool. Also I'm not sure if Seabrooks IS a northern thing or not, but I discovered those at uni and never ever see them anywhere else? Ocado have them in stock though!

Also feel like Martin Lewis rn / the dickensian cockney hustler JM believes herself to be - we're getting new wooden floors put in the living & dining room this week so we have a LOT of waste that's just out the front of the house at the moment (classy). A really lovely woman wanted our underlay (it's v good quality & we'd have kept it if we were sticking with carpets) - when she came she also wanted the carpets & grippers too?! I'd given away the 2 palettes the floor came on to a local business & messaged her about left over plywood as I know she was making planters with it and she wants that too! We're getting someone to come collect the proper waste (gross 1950s skirtings) purely because I cba to spend time with the covid denying mask dodging boomers on our local fbook group down the tip but it'll be like a fraction of the cost now?! Also a ~mother earth moment~ as loads of stuff isn't headed to landfill!
