      I was always blown away by the wild chip flavors when I traveled to England as a kid. Monster Munch is a flavor unlike anything you can find stateside

        Monster Munch is a brand. They do a tangy pickled onion, roast beef, flaming hot, and a handful of others. Pickled Onion are incredible.

          It’s apparently not a universal opinion, but I reckon pickled onion are the all time best monster munch flavour. Beef and hot are both great too, but picked onion is best IDST

          Potentially more controversially, I rate them in a crisp sandwich situation too

        Speaking of wild chips flavors, have you guys tried ketchup chips? It’s mostly sold in Canada and it sounds like it would taste awful, but it’s actually pretty good.

        never liked monster munch as I don’t like pickled onion but beef space raiders are great and they’re the same sort of crisp if you’ve ever tried those

        As someone who always goes s&v I actually agree, however I have a couple s&v brands I really like, and have only been disappointed by prawn cocktail over the last decade. It used to be the best, but most crisp flavours have been getting more mild and losing their character and I think prawn cocktail has suffered this the most.

    S&V was an unknown flavour in my country. So i was rather sceptical when I tried fries in the UK with that kind of seasoning for the first time.

    I am a convert now. Anyone who considers this flavour “freaky” can go and drown in American ketchup (you know that kind with 50% HFCS).

        I wanted to keep it readable for the American audience. Actually, I tried both: Crisps and Chips.

      Bro, both Ketchup and S&V are worse than salted. They taste so bad they actively lower the quality compared to no flavouring at all

    While they may co-occur, I think my enjoyment of Salt & Vinegar chips is independent of my freakiness and perversion

    Not gonna lie I’ll happily take being a freak if it means I’ve got an excuse to inhale salt and vinegar crisps until my eyes are watering from the flavour

      Most of the stuff I try that’s “dill pickle flavored” just tastes like dill. It’s as if the marketing folks are afraid that consumers won’t know what dill is, so you have to remind them that it’s the pickle flavor.
