    Had "Builder's breakfast" flavour today, and while it did taste like a fry-up, that's not really what I want out of a crispy snack. If I wanted that then I'd just go and get a fry-up, which is best in the morning, not late afternoon. Wish I'd gone for another flavour now.

    For all the non-Yookayers in this thread, Walkers ran a competition to ask consumers to suggest new crisp flavours, and the winners were:
    Builder's Breakfast (cooked breakfast flavour)
    Fish and Chips
    Chilli and Chocolate
    Cajun Squirrel (no idea what this is)
    Onion Bhaji
    Crispy Duck and Hoisin

    Now consumers are supposed to vote on their favourite and that will be put into mass production. Yeah, two competitions in one is a pretty good way to generate cash for Walkers, or am I just being as cynical as usual?

      Now they should have gone for a wasabi flavour.

        Sure it's a marketing ploy, but in this instance I don't really care as long as the new flavours that are there don't get rid of the old.

        The vending machine at work doesn't sell Worcester Sauce flavour, so I'm thinking of getting a bottle of Lea & Perrins and some plain crisps and go DIY.
        One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

          Oh, gawd. You've gone to the Blind Side. Here, let's look at the post.
          So I tried the new Fish and Chips flavour from Walkers yesterday.
          He tried some new chips. "What is your favorite new chip" wasn't his query.
          I'll miss you, Cort. I hope the Blind Side doesn't get you down.

              I loathe salt and vinegar. I think that it's one of those love it or hate it flavors.

                  I've tried a couple and they're a whole league away from Kettle chips.

                    I always liked Sour Cream and Chives, but that's old.

                    One that is relatively new is Jalapeno, which I love.

                                "Vitners", though probably some of the best chips ever made, I'd also like to give an honorable mention to "Old Dutch" which makes a damn good chip.
                                Please put Asher on your ignore list.
                                Please do not quote Asher.
                                He will go away if we ignore him.
