A colleague has a multipack of crisps on his desk, which claim to be "classically ready salted." How to you add salt to crisps in a classical manner?
"Ready salted" implies that unready salted crisps exist. Can you still buy those plain crisps with blue salt sachets, I wonder? They were rare and exciting when I was young. The end result was never as nice as "proper" crisps, but adding the little sachet was exciting.
Walkers salt and vinegar crisps are my dieting bete noire, and probably the only thing that I have to avoid almost completely. (I don't believe in banning anything I love.) I'm not sure why I love them so much, given that I prefer chips plain, without salt and vinegar.
At primary school, there were big cardboard boxes of crisps in the playground, from which we could buy packets for... 7p, I believe. I need to do some nostalgic hunting down. I think they were square, and made of that prawn cracker type substance, that melts on the tongue and goes all squishy. I think one of the flavours was tomato.
Anyone remember hedgehog flavoured crisps?
I seem to have had loads of nostalgic conversations over the years about childhood sweets, but very few about childhood crisps - except for some half-hearted muttering about monster munch and frazzles - and none at all about childhood ice lollies. I liked Mini Milk, because they were cheap, but I also remember Mivvis and Fabs.
